40 Acre Nevada City Ca Elderly and Stewards co-ownership founders buy in 50k-150k

ROOTS & LEGACY — FOUNDING COMMUNITY LAND TRUST Nevada City, California · 40 Acres · Forming Now OVERVIEW Roots & Legacy is a forming intergenerational Community Land Trust on 40 acres of agricultural land in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Nevada City, California. We are seeking 5 to 8 founding members — both Elder Members who bring capital and Steward Members who bring skill and labor — to establish a permanent, co-owned community held in trust across generations. We are in active purchase negotiations. The landowner is carrying half the note. Founding member capital closes the gap. This is an imminent, concrete opportunity. THE LAND The land has substantial usable terrain well-suited to permaculture design, food forest establishment, sustainable structures, and small-scale agriculture. Nevada City is a vibrant, arts-forward community with a strong culture of intentional living, local food, and sustainability. BUILT-IN INCOME & WORKSHOPS The community’s founder is a certified sustainable builder and permaculture designer with years of hands-on experience building with aircrete — a lightweight, fire-resistant, highly insulating building material ideal for domes and tiny homes. See pictures to see workshops and builds. This is a valuable asset to getting the foundations built to housing and income. We are looking for people who want a real home, not a vacation. Specifically: – Elders ready to invest in permanence, community care, and a meaningful living while handing down there wisdom to the next generation – Builders, farmers, makers, and healers ready to earn co-ownership through two years of genuine stewardship – People with experience in intentional community, NVC, permaculture, sustainable building, or cooperative living
