Monkey Bone Ranch
Montello, Nevada,

 We are going to start a very simple community. Our only rule is to help each other build structures to live in, and help make our property a great place to live.
All properties will be Off Grid and a different type of Experimental Building
Each member will have a half an acre to build their structure. Meals will be cooked and served together nightly at one central location. All members will contribute rent of $150 per month. We are located in North East Nevada.
