![]() First: An Amish father of five needs only $2500 per year to live
abundantly. He makes $11,000 each summer selling his awesome organic
produce in town 3 days a week during the harvest seasons.
One thing I did do over Christmas break was behold this beautiful 135
acre site in Sweetwater, Tennessee that the Amish community is leaving because
they have simply outgrown it.
Stream runs through it, 12 wooden houses built (8-12 years old), irrigation
from gravity buried pipe from uphill pond, no conventional electricity, no
plumbing, hand pump wells (full of sweetwater), sun galore (mostly east and
south exposure at base of ridge), surrounding 90 acres protected by ownership,
organic practice, community layout.
The neighbor bought the land to keep it from the developers, now needs some
help with dollars.
The costs are very low. George would like someone to buy it:
$475,000 for 135 acres.
OR- $4500 per acre
3-level houses $10,000 each (main, upper rooms, basement/cooler for
foods.
I will be talking to a healing arts school that wants a permaculture
setting tomorrow. Please pass this along to those with like mind.
Further, there is a very old grist mill along the river nearby that George
plans to renovate and make functional. The potential is great for anything
related to historical interest, tourism (to make the buck to buy the barn), to
just relaxed living on the land.
I CAN SEND PICTURES TO ANY INTERESTED PARTY
Sweetwater is halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee (about
an hour from each)
Thanks
