I have access to land in south central Indiana, near Jasper.

What I would like to do preferably is buy the land from this person so that I can start a community. I don't know how fast I can do this, though. It would be 80 acres with a big forested hill, about five miles from a tiny village.

The biggest problem will be access to water, that's the first thing I would have to have done. And it's a big hill, so I don't know if I'll be able to get some kind of solar set-up to power a well pump or not.

That's the biggest problem, really, is people with expertise. And capital. I mean, let's say that we gather, oh, twenty people together. Would one well be enough? How would we process sewage -- that's a lot of people! What would we have to do first, build a place for storage of food or build a place for people to live? Who is doing the building, we or some outside contractor?

Anybody have answers to these questions?
