We actually live about an hour north in Lincoln conunty but we have been considering the intentional community idea but don't know if there is any interest in the area.
It is very hard to accomplish what we are trying to accomplish and it just seems to make sense that it would be easier for a community of like minded people to accomplish it more effectively.
We are building the first strawbale house in Lincolnton if you would like to see pictures go to our homepage at

          BUCKMINSTER FULLER GEODESIC DOME IN NORTH CAROLINA

          Our company's current mission is to acquire Shelton Cove Village, a parcel of land in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina (near Maggie Valley) that is home to the Aspenglow Retreat and Conference Center (comprised of several multi-use buildings on 37 acres of woodland, meadowland, a stream, areas suitable for hiking, wildlife, and other features of natural beauty) upon which to establish an eco-educational-health-spiritual center and community retreat, with a music and performing arena, gift shop, restaurant, nature sanctuary, and memorial garden. It is also home to a 50-ft. tri-level greenhouse from John Denver’s Windstar Foundation, erected there in 1986. Ultimately we will serve as a forum for fostering new attitudes by promoting an appreciation of nature, indigenous cultures, music and the arts, and serving as a network for the sharing of ideas, visions, and the highest aspirations of humanity...to offer a sense of how to make the world a more sustainable, equitable place for all peoples.

          One of our goals is to investigate the viability of re-establishing the biodome as a functional environmental project, and add other alternative environmental technologies such as solar and wind, as well as a food co-op.

          We are seeking an investor or investors to help us acquire the funds for purchase, repairs, and start-up capital. If anyone is interested in learning more, please contact us for our complete business plan!
