Searching for Land in the Northeast!

I met a great group of folks, who had similar criteria and set up this project outside of Ithaca, NY: http://dachaproject.com/

We are looking for land! Are you looking for some great neighbors? Let me know if anyone in this network sees anything available that approximates this description.

Size: 20 to 300 acres

Land Characteristics:

• Mixed vegetation (cropping land, pasture, forest)
• Uncontaminated soil
• Small elevation change
• South facing slope
• Independent and clean water supply
• With or without infrastructure

Location: United States

• Vermont: Montepelier is northern limit
• Western Massachusetts
• Upstate New York
• It is important to be a short distance to a city/town

Price: Less than $400,000

Vision: We are small group (8 to 12) of intimate friends interested in farming, sustainable living, education, community development and conservation. We have ample experience in natural building, permaculture design, farming/gardening, community living, etc through the creation and management of a number of projects, principally Rancho Mastatal Sustainability Education Center and Round the Bend Farm Center for Restorative Community.

We hope to create a community of autonomous and interconnected homesteads which provide a home base in the states. Some individuals would be part time on the land, some full time. We are open to working with land trusts, elderly farmers searching for a transition plan, and already established projects/farms.

If anyone in this network is aware of land, roughly matching this description, please send a message to Laura Killingbeck (theluckylaura). Thank you in advance.
