Harper Valley Farm
Harrison, Arkansas,
United States
Dome Houses
 ****ZOMBIE Stronghold***Do you want to live off the grid, yet 3 miles from Wal Mart, only 1/2 mile of dirt road? I have owned this place for 20+ years and would like to share the opportunity to experience something special to the right person.
Property is located in Harrison, Arkansas. 28 miles South of Branson, Missouri. Six foot high fence with electric gate at the front of the property.
My little place is twenty + acres at the end of the road. What I have available is private use of the back five acres with Bear Creek access. You will need to have an RV that is set up for off the grid. You could use some sort of tent set up with lots of serious thought.
Cost is $3000 annual which helps to support the little farm. Your chores are what you need to do to keep your place in order and enjoy the Ozarks.
You must be approved by the family who lives on the farm in the dome house, as well as my husband and myself. This is a beautiful, peaceful place and we would like to keep it that way.

Because our housing is a single housing unit and requires the sharing of bathroom, kitchen and common space membership/residency may be restricted based on sex/gender in accordance with the law. Our community does not discriminate based on race/color, national origin, religion, family status (i.e. having children, not having children, or being pregnant), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, ancestry, source of income, age, creed, personal appearance, political affiliation, HIV infection, military/veteran status, unfavorable military discharge, gender identity or expression, receiving public assistance, or domestic abuse.

Housing in our community is incidental to employment and therefore fair housing laws do not apply (though employment discrimination laws may).
