[Cob] Land??

[Lee Shultz]

Thanks! More land? Not sure yet. I'll see how this first project goes. But I did just see a lovely 2-acre property over looking the town for only a small cost. So, yes, I can't help looking. We'll see. I love cobbing; it's both spiritual and artist for me, and I can't imagine not doing it, whether it's a cottage of my own or helping others to build. 
 
Cheers,
 
Beverly

Congratulations!!  You're planning to buy more land once you're there?

Hi. I found the same problem here in Ojai, CA (near Santa Barbara, 70
miles north of LA). I love this area, but the cost of land is off the
charts here. A number of people told me that there was a lot of
alternative building going on in NM, and that the Silver City area was
especially lovely. It's in southwest NM at an elevation of about 6000
ft. The landscape is a combination of high desert and the Gila National
Forrest. The people are friendly and strawbale is common. I have friends
in the area now and I bought 3.7 acres of land at a very reasonable
price. I hope to start building in cob this year and I'd like to get it
permitted completely. They are accustomed to earthen structures in NM
and have code for adobe and rammed earth, and strawbale, of course.

I'll miss CA a lot, though. But that's how I solved the high cost of
land problem.

Cheers,

Beverly Shultz

Hello all,

We have attended workshops on cob building, practiced cob building and
want to build a cob. We know how but we don't know where. We currently
reside in Oregon and would like to stay in the area but the price of
land around us is a bit out of our range. Any advice???
