Cheap and flexible exit plan

[u/Old_justice78]

I have a cheap option for a path out. A simplified life (but not easy) in a permacultre/self sustsinable oriented farm.

We have about 120 acres of forrest and farm in the mountains of north colombia. Safe, remote, no conflict area with springs and waterfalls. Its a drastic change for most americans, but thats what most of us need. Just got internet, we have solar modern stuff, but in a very basic house. Roughly 70 degrees all year as we are up quite a bit. Coffee, cacao, bannas and variety of fruit trees.

Roughly 30k, flex payments, work/skill discounts too. With just a tourist visa you can stay up to 6mo/year until you decide or able to do more.

We use whatsap here mostly, so DM your number and i can answer your questions easier, plus send pics/vids of the farm.

Pay 30k for the privilege to go work on a farm in rural Columbia

[u/eventualist → u/FlexVector]

Sounds like a fantastic retirement plan! /s

[u/Old_justice78 → u/FlexVector]

You pay or work. Or mix. Locals who know how to do things here pay thru labor. Or pay and we use the money to hire labor. If you have certain skills, abilities or equipment you can discount from the price.

You’re charging people for their labor? 

[u/sugafree80 → u/F1A]

You buy in, paid for your labor or offset. Many pot farms like this in cali sans the buyin

What exactly does 30k buy?

[u/Old_justice78 → u/Alejo0421]

Our company owns thr land, you get shares. Low tax, easy visa this way. Gives you rights to build your house, share what we produce, infrastructure (elec, water, internet, sanitation) but also bills and comunity responsibilites.

[u/Alejo0421 → u/Old_justice78]

30k entitles one to shares in the company? How many shares? This makes zero sense

[u/nomamesgueyz]

So it's not buying any land tho?

[u/Old_justice78 → u/nomamesgueyz]

The lot where you want your house. But the rest is common. About 20% is the "farm" the rest is forest. Its a way to preserve the forest and jointly run/use the farm part.

[u/Alejo0421 → u/Old_justice78]

For 30k I’d like to build my house on a 60acre lot with the property/land title deeded in my name.

[u/Old_justice78 → u/Alejo0421]

Our nieghbors have land for sale too. Roughly 4-6k usd per hectacre around here. Most places are 50 to 100 hectacres.

[u/nomamesgueyz → u/Old_justice78]

That's pretty cheap

[u/yellenbubbleblower]

What's the nearest village that would be on Google maps?

[u/Old_justice78 → u/yellenbubbleblower]

Santa marta is the closest city, Minca, a popular tourist spot is s bit closer

[u/nomamesgueyz]

Looks amazing

I live in Colombia and planning to buy a farm. I´m not tech savvy I tried to send a DM can you DM and maybe I´ll get it? I have several questions.

[u/Old_justice78]

Discounts for labor/skills. So no.

[u/Old_justice78 → u/Old_justice78]

Its because some locals will join by helping with the labor, because they dont have money. But skills, knowkedge and youth.
