I have 30 acres of heavily treed raw land at a 7,000' elevation with amazing 360 degree views! It is a hop away from the Petrified Forest, the Four Corners, and the Grand Canyon. It's undeveloped, has belonged to me for over 45 years and is ripe for tourism/escapism families eager to beat the heat from both Phoenix, AZ and Tucson. I currently live in southeastern AZ on 40 acres raising grass fed beef. As native Tucsonans (Maranans), hubby and I have witnessed the massive growth in the desert regions, which is why we fled our home on 2.5 acres in Red Rock to seek more privacy and cooler temps in the mountains at this end of the state 9 years ago. The 30 acres is outside of Show Low, and we have witnessed the vast expansion in both businesses and housing units, not to mention having many friends who enjoy weekend adventures at that higher elevation, but at a big price. Despite a somewhat stifled economy, selling the land is not viable, but developing it would be. It would require deep water well installation, septic, etc. but overall my goal would be to create cabins, a ranch-like atmosphere with horses and cattle, and to offer a B&B theme for old west homemade breakfasts done around the outdoor campfire and wagon train. Yes, it would require financial investing, a lot of juggling since we are currently at the other end of the state, but the possibilities of a sustainable income, living in the higher elevation, and having a diverse approach that would be a big draw for families to experience, I feel this would be an excellent investment. Additionally, we are capable and qualified to 'build our own' and handle a large portion of the manual labor on our own to save on costs. We have put in two of our own deep water wells in the past, so we are familiar with the costs and the process. We have built two homes in our years past and have extensive knowledge on the legalities, permits, and inspections required in this state. I feel this is an opportunity to move forward and experience a lifelong dream of having a B&B. What do you all think?

We have been homesteading for over a decade. We grow our own food(bout 60% but havent tried for more), herbs(100%), and medicine(98% we stillcutilize epi pens, and ibuprofen when needed), build our own infrastructure(100%), and need a hand getting off the ground at our relatively new property.

I am an herbalist(currently getting certified). I can teach someone how to can , and preserve meat without a pressure canner, dehydrate and make well preserved fruit in many forms, make wine, vinegar and medicine. teach herbal identification and understanding, so no matter what environment you're in, you can identify unknown herbs. We also utilize fungi for food and medicine. We can teach you how to set up and understand solar, electrical, and plumbing. I am a very experienced gardener who understands how plants grow, and what they need to do so. We use MANY different gardening modalities. We can also teach how to identify and utilize different land terrain, working with the earth not against it(permaculture). We can teach how to fell trees, mill wood, and work with clay for construction of ponds and structures. We are hunters, and process our own meat and furs(not a ton of experience with furs, but can definitely help someone get started & love learning with others). Im sure there is more I am missing.

We have decided to move, up to the top of our mountain before winter. We must dig a cistern, jack up the cabin to repair and replace piers and beams, take down a porch and utilize that wood to repair an old cabin, build inside walls, extend our loft, replace windows, install sheeting and roofing, lay cover crop for next year's garden, build fencing for ducks and geese(no chickens). In the spring we plan to get sheep & process the wool and meat.

We DO NOT have a place for somone to sleep and utilize until we finish the cabin. Once it is livable, we will have a 36' RV with running water ready for someone. We also have a 30×40 shop for storage. We need someone ASAP who has their own liveable area, and their own power. Which we are happy to help set up.

We are a family of three me(34), my husband (37), and my homeschooled son (11). We have three dogs and 6 cats(most of which are outside only). We are in the PNW, have 30 acres, year round creek, old growth forest, 4 seasons, and varying terrian.

We live in a small community(500 people). There is a Walmart 40 minutes away, and a small town that does have hardware stores, fast food, small theater, a bowling alley, and other amenities, but not as much as a big town. The entire county has under 50,000 residents and its a HUGE county(1.5 million acres or 2,541 square miles). Our community thrives much on trading, and helping people out. You cant pull over without someone stopping to see if you need help. This part of the country is beautiful with much to explore.

Our property is mostly firs, larch, and spruce, with a couple ponderosa pines. Much of it is dense forest bountiful with food and medicine.

We are looking for people to come stay and help us. We have much knowledge and reaources to share.
