Fantasy Housing?

I used to fantasize about having a mansion somewhere surround by at least 40 acres and no one else around, in a tropical setting close to a white sand, blue water beach.
The house would be ultra modern with everything the outside world would have to offer so I wouldn't have to go out to do what I wanted. It would be My World.

Now my tastes have changed and an Aspie retirement community sounds great. Just as a 55+ active retirement community is in reality, only for senior ASD people.
There would be small hobbit houses for those who are able and want to be independently alone. Surrounded by forest and you could do your own gardening and such.
Be able to walk around outside without seeing others.
Contribute to the community co-op with your skills as you want.
There would be an area for living similar to assisted living for the ones who need help. Individual apartments/units, no having to share you space with someone unless you want. Full exercise and spa. Pools with waterfalls all natural looking. A meet up building with games and billiards to play alone or with others if wanted. Arts, library, theatre. Food areas to dine in.
People keeping check on people. People who want to drive, driving those who don't to places nearby when needed. Plenty of nature trails and wild life roaming about. A place to live out your life in peace from the world. Just doing what you want each day.

I haven't been on WrongPlanet for a very long time, but your post kind of freaked me out and made me sad so I went searching for confirmation of her having died; I did this by searching for authaven (the autistic retreat she started in Colorado) and found no mention of her death -- and following a link about authaven 2017 to WP and then clicking on her username shows her last visit to WP as today at 8:00pm.....so unless someone else is using her profile, this leads me to believe she is alive. I could, of course, be wrong, but I hope I am not -- she always seemed like such an amazing person....so kind to everyone, so full of hope and encouragement and creative ideas.

I also found that AutHaven Community is now a project to build an intentional autistic community, (The link is to a GoFundMe page with a blurb about the project. I am not fundraising for them, it just happens to be where I found out about it.)

Yeah, Vicky. For some reason, I thought her cancer had returned, and then she quit posting for a while, and rumor had it that she had succumbed. I was obviously wrong, and I apologize to anybody I may have upset.
 
Also, to answer a couple other questions:

The land is in far northern California, in Siskiyou County which is just south of the Oregon border. I used hectares because I know that a lot of people here are not in the US. In reality the parcels are just slightly below 2.5 acres.

I grew up watching my grandfather raise and kill/eat chickens, so no I don't have a problem with killing for meat.
 
Impressive, people! “Go big or stay home”, as the saying goes. At least I got the “stay home” part right.

I’ll do you one even better. My very own warp-capable shuttlecraft. And with that I yield the floor to the other sci-fi geeks. I know you’re out there. ;o)

Being part of the equivalent of a retirement village just for Aspies.

Self sufficient, everyone contributing their skills.
chitty chat limited to the task in hand. You're buying something from the shop the conversation is business.
You're taking your car to get fixed at the garage the conversation is about the fault.
You're dropping the children at the local school the conversation is development and education.

There will be a Met Office Outpost if anyone wants to go and talk about the weather.
A medical centre to discuss health and well-being.

Where do we build this? Can it be like the golf course - members only, no trespassing, and you have to pass an admin audit before you become a member and even then that is on trial basis till character has been proven... ?

Then you not only get super cool Aspie village, you get well behaved Aspie village...
So I guess I just got myself kicked out before we even got it started??? : (

I'm going back to my boat now... I think Captain Morgan is calling. : )

I got dubs on Chewbacca, you can take the Millennium Falcon... It always has issues.

I hear Elon Musk can rig me something up... A Tesla built for space travel...

Oh crap the big ape won't fit in there... You take Chewy with you... : )
I'm gonna go look for that place I always go in my head... : )

If the dramamine doesn't work we got rum, dancing monkeys, and parrots that don't talk nice. I swiped them from the pirates, while trading for coconuts. I tried to give them back and they dint want them back. So we have some entertainment while dodging hurricanes, avoiding the Kraken, and we only go to Aspie friendly places... Oh crap, I just had an idea... but its not for this post. : )

I'm leaving before I derail...

I figured we'd need your skills, was also hoping you wouldn't mind training several apprentices up to help keep the place running smoothly (when mechanical things start playing up) :)

It's a timewarp and my best guess at what it should be at the same time :D

You'll be too busy to misbehave initially Chance, we'll all be building places to live in, then creating the village and amenities and so on.
When you need to let off some steam, track, hunt or drive a really fast car around the race circuit?

And besides, I'm going to need your knowledge so that my lawn will look better than Sportster's lawn. ;) :)

We can just put the golf course right between Your's and Sport's new houses and I will bring just a few of the hundreds of deer that I have to nearly shooo out of my way to get where I need to go...

I charge a hefty fee for greens grade lawns... but money is not an issue in Aspie Ville. : )
