House lots are priced from $35,000 - $79,000 and include road and utility infrastructure (underground electric, water, phone, and high speed internet/cable.

Many members are involved with art/craft/music, but that is not a requirement. We welcome diversity. The community is in an early stage of life (7 households in residence), so well-suited to folks with energy and a desire to take an active role in

"How To Govern Anything: Ocean Government" In this book, discover the first new major government system to be developed in centuries, a form of government that also functions as its own think tank. This book was many years in the making. Some lyrics in the song “Revolution” by the Beatles can be interpreted to mean that any revolution without a new plan is pointless. This interpretation challenged FitzMaurice to create a new and better plan for governments. The result he calls “Ocean Government”. The excuses end now. For the right method to use to cause a revolution, visit http://www.aeinstein.org/. For the right method to use to rule after the revolution, use this book. Ocean Government is advantageous for governing countries, corporations, colleges, communes, co-operatives, clubs, churches, temples, institutions, schools, and organizations of any kind. Ocean Government will work for Communist States, Democracies, Dictatorships, Monarchies, Noocracies, Oligarchies, Presidential Republics, Parliamentary Republics, Socialist Republics, Theocracies, or any form of government. It is simple to set up and easy to continue. There is every reason to switch to the Ocean Government system, and no reason not to give up antiquated systems of government. This book gives you all the tools and knowledge you need to institute the superior Ocean Government form of government today. The only financial cost to you is the cost of this book.
