No. This website is being used to collect contact information and survey responses to evaluate interest and communicate project updates. Any future membership, deposit, land, or investment process would require separate legal documents and disclosures.
No real estate, securities, investment opportunity, membership, homesite, shelter access, or occupancy right is being offered through this website. Future offerings, if any, will be made only through appropriate legal documents and disclosures.
That’s the goal for a future phase, but we a still have due diligence to do and need to determine the land parcel, county requirements, utilities, wastewater, membership structure, and the final development model.
Yes. The concept includes absentee membership opportunities, offsite participation, working groups, training, weekend events, and possible remote work/contribution opportunities.
Many. Useful skills include construction, medical, water systems, septic/waste, farming, livestock, electrical, mechanical, welding, IT/comms, education, security, logistics, accounting, legal, project management, food preservation, and so much more! See our Working Groups list for more details.
Multiple potential counties in the panhandle of Texas are under evaluation. In this part of Texas, this generally translates to elevations around 4,000-4,600 feet above sea level, hot dry summers that amongst the most pleasant in Texas. There is more snow due to the altitude, but that is the tradeoff for the nicer summer weather. However, no final site should be assumed until due diligence is complete and a parcel has been selected.
No. Rural resilience and planning are part of the concept, but the goal is to establish a working homesteading and resilience community built around families, food production, water planning, practical skills, entrepreneurial activity, and integrating with the surrounding community. We are seeking a simpler life away from large urban sprawl and are interested in reviving the resilient methods of our ancestors.
Yes, eventually. Formal vetting will come later. The first step is interest gathering, survey completion, gathering as many good ideas as possible, initiating working group participation, and move the project forward. Over time, participation quality will help identify people who may be a good fit.
That is difficult to estimate accurately at this stage of the project. Once due diligence is complete, a specific parcel has been acquired, and the full scope of the project is known, then more accurate estimates will be possible.
A very rough estimate for the construction of the main elements of the community would likely be within two to three years after parcel acquisition for a project of this magnitude and expected scope with peripheral construction and full homestead buildout expecting to take 5+ years.
All legal, tax, engineering, water, wastewater, building, land-use, insurance, securities, and regulatory matters must be reviewed by qualified professionals before implementation and this will take some time.
Early discussions has used a broad target of approximately $100,000 to $250,000 per family membership or less, depending on the whether the homestead lot will be for a RV pad or a site built home. Pricing could also be impacted by the level of participation of members with higher costs for non-participating absentee members. Final pricing will depend on land, infrastructure, legal structure, and operating costs.
