At Gifted Mind State, I believe the future of living is rooted in self sufficiency, health, freedom, and community. I'm proud to introduce the blueprint for a sustainable residential development where every homeowner grows their own food, lives on 1–5 acres of private land, and contributes to a co-op system that shares profits from food grown beyond personal needs. This village model is more than a place to live, it’s a movement designed to inspire others to build in their own way and reclaim true ownership and well being. Whether you’re a future homeowner, developer, or someone curious about how this kind of community could work, I'm sharing the complete PDF manifestos for free below.



Why This Matters Right Now


We're entering a time where people are rethinking how we live, eat, spend, and build. The old model of working endlessly just to pay bills and a mortgage doesn't sit right with many of us anymore. More and more people are seeking alternatives: more freedom, more purpose, and more control over their food, health, and daily environment.

That’s why we created a complete blueprint for a self sustaining, food producing residential community, one that is not only practical, but replicable by others. This idea is rooted in ownership, cooperation, and legacy building.


Gifted Mind State Village is a visionary residential development where every household lives on 1–5 acres of land and grows their own fruits and vegetables. It’s a village where:

  • Every resident contributes to a shared food system that ensures no one goes hungry

  • Surplus crops can be sold to local supermarkets and food banks

  • Profits are redistributed based on contribution

  • Homes are modular built for durability, affordability, and full customization

  • Sustainability is not just encouraged it’s designed into the system

  • Every home is off the road, offering true privacy and independence

We’re blending the best of old-school farming values with modern off grid innovation.




Why Modular Homes?

All homes in this village will be modular built, giving each buyer the freedom to design their home to their exact style, size, layout, finishes, eco features, and more. These homes are:

  • More durable against extreme weather

  • Faster and cheaper to build

  • Fully customizable

  • Energy efficient and environmentally sound

  • Delivered and installed with lower overhead

Buyers get privacy, freedom, and full control, with no compromise on design or quality.


This project isn’t just about building one community. It’s about creating a new blueprint for what residential living could be. Our hope is that others will be inspired to start their own versions, to build, grow, and live with more intention.

We want this to spark a wave of ownership based communities rooted in sustainability, wellness, and mutual upliftment.
