I'd second the recommendation on Silver City.  My partner attended a
nine month massage program at a college there, so I spent a lot of
time visiting.  It's simply beautiful, there's a food co-op, and lots
of really friendly people.  I got a really great vibe from the whole
area.

I also struck up more than one conversation about natural building
with residents, and visited a couple natural buildings.  So there is
some positive energy there.  Also, the southwest has a
live-and-let-live attitude that makes owner building much easier.  No
nosy neighbors demanding that your house looks like theirs :)
