This is from another list I'm on and thought someone here might be
interested:

We have been living the off-grid life here for several years, however, now
due to grave health issues, we must leave for a lower altitude.

We have a house, greenhouse and small cabin on 10 acres, with well rights
(good, deep well) near the house. The house is cinderblock/adobe/stucco,
comprised of one 20'X24' kitchen/lvingroom/bathroom and a 16'X16' bedroom.
There is a large woodstove in the bedroom that provides heat for the whole
house, and a wood cookstove in the kitchen. The house is furnished with
Kitchen table, cabinets and countertops, pantry and closet, and queen size
platform bed. There is a 16'X8' Deck. The well has a deep-water hand pump.

As of this date there are 4 cords of cut firewood included. There is also a
ranch-only (not registerable) 1985 Ford F-150 included.

Solar is high efficiency 205 watt solar panel and two 6-volt golf cart
batteries for 12 volt system.

The small cabin is 8'x8', two! -story with metal roof. The greenhouse is
8'X16'. A small chicken coop is also included.

The land is 20+ miles from paved road and very private. It borders NM State
and BLM land. Abundant game, antelope, elk, deer, rabbits. High Chaparral
land (7000+ ft.) with beautiful mountain views. Abundant firewood
available. Surplus building materials included (OSB, some 2x4's, and lots
of PVC pipe and connectors etc.)

We have satellite internet set up which we will be happy to transfer to you.

The lease is a 99 year lease, $25,000 OBO.  We are very eager and
motivated, hence the low price (we have put many times more than the price
into the land, house, well, outbuildings, etc.).

We are available for text chat via skype. If you would like to text chat,
let us know when and we will be ready or just contact us at
