Want to live with other vegans?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a house with land in another state.

I'd like a housemate or two, and would also love to have someone build

their own space on the land, as there's room for it (there are also a

few other nearby properties for sale).

There's also potential for someone to grow their own organic garden.

 

I've been vegetarian for 25 years, and have been vegan off and on (with

some raw) for 15. I don't have to be around vegans, but it would sure

make life easier. I'm also pretty active and like to jog, mtn.bike, and

rock climb, and hike...but it doesn't matter to me if others don't do

that. I'll find those people who do that stuff.

 

The land is just outside Memphis: temperate weather all year with about

two months of icy cold weather in winter, Wild Oats Market will be 40

minutes away, as well as access to institutes of higher learning (such

as Univ. of Memphis, UT, and Rhodes College), and businesses.

 

I will have a number of rescued, formerly feral cats, a few dogs, and

am likely to take in abused farm animals as well. A couple I know will

be also buying a house very nearby. They're mostly raw.

Hi My name is Nicki, I'm 46 and my husband Rich is 42. We are vegans

and animal rights activists. We are looking to find cohabitation

with other vegans and activists. We are interested to move out

country and we would like to have our dog with us. If you need more

info, please e-mail me@fallen_angl05 or

Hi Raven,

I'm sorry I didn't see your question sooner. I don't think I'm the

person to ask. I looked only at houses on land, not at raw land.

 

If this current contract goes through, I'm going to be in a very

inexpensive house with a mixed range of home prices, and where

everyone has at least an acre or so of property. I did see some bare

lots online in Fayette County that were divided up into about six

acres each, and priced at about $30k total per lot. I don't remember

where I saw that, and don't really want to do online searches to find

it again. I had originally thought it would be great to buy a six-

acre lot,and try to get other vegan communitarians to buy the others.

But, I quickly realized that wouldn't be realistic. This is the

2000's, not the 70's; it's harder to form communities. I see new ones

failing all the time. Also,I have animals (and occasional foster

kids) too, so don't have the time (or money) to hold two properties

for a year while I make trips back and forth between states trying to

build my own home, or even hire others to do it.

The house prices are reasonable enough, that it just doesn't make

sense for me to spend that much time and money on building and

holding onto the house I'm in.

 

Of course, land price varies so much depending on zoning, and on

whether a lot is heavily wooded, where the growth is, your proximity

to main roads, country clubs,nearest city, lakes, development, etc.

I'd suggest that you start by looking at either the real estate

sites, like crye-leike.com or remax.com. Or, just do a search for

Memphis real estate, and input what it is you're after. I started out

with searches in Eads, Oakland, and Somerville, which are in Fayette

County, and cheaper taxes than Shelby (Memphis). I also flew out

there, and looked in Olive Branch, Miss.with an agent. I saw several

homes I liked that were on about 3 acre lots for an average of $169k,

which is close to the price I asked for. But, they weren't quite what

I was after.

Certainly, without needing a house on the land, you have much more

variability in the possible range of prices. There isn't much for

sale right now in the <<immediate>> area where I expect to be, and

none of it is bare land. But, I'll send you some comp's privately, in

case you're interested.

 

Since the town of Oakland was a rural area not so long ago, and still

is, in some places, I know there are parcels of land of all types and

sizes. If you wanted to look at houses, I could tell you more about

what I've seen, but I just don't know about the raw land prices.
