RE: Too Good To Be True? What do you think?

in #homestead7 years ago

When subdividing land, try to think of how the land naturally divides. It is simpler to market parcels of 5 acres each, but its an imposed order.
I do some larger scale designs and im looking holistically at the land and its energy flows, resources and ideal house sites. Then calculate that.
Because you may find it has many more ideal house sites and can sustain higher populations.
Perhaps some parcels are like a summer camp deal, you own it and come stay from spring till fall. This is good for the mobile people and matches the times of resource abundance.
Also designing the whole first can help you plan where damsites can be, where a long term timber forest could go that feeds a property development fund.
Smart communities look how to earn for the future to maintain infrastructure in 20 years time.

Hope that gives you some ideas

The land is not being subdivided! The purchase is an interest only. And YES! I would like to find people who will look at the land as a whole. Build our water resevours, I like Keyline Damns. Then I would like to strategically use Keylines to saturate the land to bedrock, before we draw boundries. It is something I hope can be worked on as a group project for the greater good of the land and all parties involved. It is all just an idea right now anyway. But, I have had a great responce. Both here and on FB.
