This land is held in a community land trust. Through an inheritable and renewable 99 year lease, the trust removes land from the speculative market and facilitates multiple uses such as affordable housing, agriculture, and open space preservation. http://www.ahimsavillage.org/about.htm Neighborhood Description The property is located next to Julian Woods Community, an intentional community of 18 adults and 3 children on 140 acres of land. The community was established in 1975. The community owns and operates a “living machine” in 2 large greenhouses that purifies and recycles all the community’s wastewater. There are 6 artists, several carpenters & builders, accountant, forester & mechanic/designer. The community hosts house concerts, dinners, celebrations, and other events for the local and regional community. It is home to the O-AN Zendo, an active Buddhist meditation and education center, and serves as the office for the School of Living. Also across the road is the Ridge Soaring Gliderport, a world-famous gliderport established by Thomas Knauff at about the same time Julian Woods Community was formed. The location was chosen because of the excellent thermals that form along the last ridge of the Appalachian Mountains (the Bald Eagle Ridge).
