Wonderful outdoor tub and shower w/hot & cold water.

This land has been lovingly imagined as a living apothecary — a place devoted to the cultivation, harvesting, and stewardship of herbs, medicinal plants, fruits, and vegetables. The soil, sunlight, and natural spring on the property all support this purpose, offering a rare opportunity of stewardship for someone to carry forward a living, regenerative vision.

We seek a buyer who:

• Loves this land at least as much as we do

• Respects long-term ecological care and reveres the land

• Feels aligned with herbalism, cultivation, sustainability, or regenerative living

• Views stewardship as sacred and understands that legacy matters

• Is willing to listen, learn, and receive guidance

A Special Focus: Tea Education

At the heart of this land lives a simple and powerful vision: the cultivation and sharing of herbal tea grown directly from the soil beneath our feet.

Over the years, I have personally processed more than forty plants and regularly prepare what I call Sunshine Tea — fresh herbs placed in purified water inside a glass jar and set to steep in direct sunlight for six to eight hours. Served hot or cold, it is a quiet alchemy, 100% natural expression of the land’s vitality.

While there are over 120 known species of coffee, there are thousands of tea varieties, each offering distinct nutritional and wellness benefits. Unlike coffee, tea plants grow across diverse soils and climates worldwide, are easy to cultivate and harvest, and do not contribute to rainforest destruction or habitat loss. In fact, they can help preserve and balance ecosystems.

This property could serve as a place for tea education and gentle transformation in health awareness — perhaps through an Apothecary Tea House centered on Sunshine Tea and plant-based knowledge. A living chart or reference guide outlining the benefits of hundreds of tea plants could grow alongside the land itself, offering both nourishment and knowledge.

Residency and Structure of Stewardship

A required residency precedes any sale rights and is intended as a time-based relationship rather than a transaction. This understanding may be formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding and unfolds in phases.

Phase One: Foundation Year

One year of:

• Shared, regular on-site work (seasonal or weekly)

• Observation and learning of existing systems: herbs, soil, water, and vision

• Contributing labor with gradually increasing responsibility

This is not free labor; it is a mutual exchange:

• You gain knowledge, experience, and proximity

• We observe character, consistency, and care under real conditions

This phase answers essential questions:
Who are we when the work is slow, difficult, or unglamorous?
Are reliability, patience, and integrity present?
Is trust forming naturally?

Together, we will periodically reflect on:

• What is working

• What is not

• Whether values remain aligned

• Whether trust is deepening

Either party may step away at any time, without pressure or obligation. This phase is about discernment—allowing relationship to mature into responsibility. Transparency is essential in assessing alignment, character, and long-term stewardship capacity.

Phase Two: Responsibility and Readiness

Following successful completion of Phase One, Phase Two focuses on skill, initiative, and accountability over an additional six months. Expectations include:

• Independent management of defined areas or projects

• Demonstrated competence in herbal cultivation and land care

• Financial transparency regarding any proposed future purchase

• Active participation in long-term planning discussions

Evaluation will consider:

• Quality of decision-making

• Stewardship under stress or challenge

• Ability to hold and honor the land’s vision

Successful completion of Phase Two makes the steward eligible—but not entitled—to enter purchase discussions and prepare for legal transfer, subject to a life-estate arrangement.

Once the title is transferred, the new owner is free to shape the property into their own working homestead. They assume stewardship of the land—maintaining, cultivating, and harvesting—while completing the home and adding improvements that fit their vision... from fencing and gardens to treehouses, ponds, or additional dwellings. It’s a unique chance to build, grow, and create something lasting.
