Sustainable Living. New Mexico. Your Land

Sustainable Living in our case meant starting from scratch. I had just returned from a month in Mississippi Volunteering in People and Wildlife Rescue for a month. My Partner purchased the land and when I got back we started to get busy.
We removed all of the Non Native Species of plants and trees. Russian Olive and others. These made our Coyote Fence on one side of the property, We then fenced in the rest.
Next we planned our Well, Septic and Electrical Hookups. We took our time because we wanted to get the placements right and so that they would be serviceable once we further developed our property.
We did not want to rush in and develop our land, build structures and plan our use of the land until we had worked with the land for a complete year. All Seasons.
Buying land and where you want to live is a very personal experience and everyone has different needs. Take your time. It's your home. Make it Sustainable.
I'll post more on Buying land and our experience. Again... Take Your Time. Be Knowledgeable, Get Informed, Take your time finding GOOD CONTRACTORS, Get References, Go See Jobs for yourself and how the contractors actually work. Talk with other home owners. What do you need to live? Square Footage, Design Considerations, Land Use, Natural Disasters...Know your risks, Floods, Fire, Earth Quakes, Tidal Events. Build accordingly. Safety is NO Accident. Share your Sustainable Living Ideas.... Now is a good time.
