Co-create with me!!!
The Seed of Life is open to all sorts of co-creating opportunities. What is YOUR vision if you had a place to make it so? BE a part of this greater vision. Build something wonderful and win-win. The Texas Wine Trail gets a lot of tourist traffic with people with time and money looking for unique things to do in their leisure time. We have already established our presence with our Labyrinth and Mary Shrine, Now let’s offer visitors an opportunity to support the vision energetically and financially through YOUR business dreams.
Total Solar Eclipse
People will descend from all over the world to this patch of earth to experience the total solar eclipse in April 2024. The Seed of Life is in the total darkness zone for maximum time. I am willing to offer the land to an event producer who is interested in creating a metaphysical community veg-friendly event.

Restaurant and/or Food Truck Space
This is a perfect opportunity for a vegetarian or vegan or healthy tea house or sober oriented drink stand or fruit-raw-living foods kind of establishment. Your market would be: locals looking for healthier choices nearby. But mainly, being right on the Texas Wine Trail, you would be catering to tourists from the greater Austin area on their way to Fredericksburg or Luckenbach looking for the organic and healthy food choices they are used to purchasing in town.
This could also be a pre-packaged food store to make it more affordable to build and operate. It is on the site of the old Mermaid Club. According to my sources – the driveway should be grandfathered in from the old establishment (gas station – honky tonk – restaurant – bar) that used to be on the property as long as it is for the same usage. This would likely be a longer term “build to suit” lease at an incredibly affordable price. I am negotiable. Let’s talk. There is an existing concrete slab foundation where a shipping container construction, pre-fab or tiny house or other creative building could be built.
Issues to conquer:
1) Sewer-septic system will need to be approved or expanded depending on the type of commercial kitchen installed.
2) Water fill is available but might require additional pump and filtration to pass legal requirements.
3) Public bathroom needs to be built. you would be responsible for building under a standard “build to suit” long term lease.
Metaphysical ‘Rock House’ Shop
This is a perfect little building for a health food or vitamin shop or a crystal emporium and metaphysical gift shop or gallery space or other type of home goods or non-food business. What do you have to share? According to my sources, this location has served as a peach stand, a soda stop, and even a bootleg liquor depot during prohibition. Put your retail establishment here. A wildflower walk has been planted directly in front of this building to increase visibility. There is a separate driveway to the location, parking and also room to have items for sale outside on the gravel patio.
Good opportunity for a CDB shop?
Retreat Center
A retreat center with 4 main ‘quad’ buildings (music-art-library-dance) and 3 additional healing room buildings (sound-light-salt) have been designed. They just need to be built, then you can begin to run your retreats.
Retreat Cabins
I am looking for someone who has always wanted to be an innkeeper. The vision is to create a series of 7 individual bedrooms cabins (sans bath or kitchen) for overnight guests and long-term permanent community residents to live on-site. Additionally 2 shared bath and kitchen units will serve these cabins. These have been planned as moveable square metal shed roof buildings facing south, but they might also be zomes which would be especially nice. What do you want to build? We also have spaces for a treehouse room and more…
Group Home
A large shared group home with full kitchen, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and large communal living and meeting space has been designed. This would be ideal for someone wanting to open a sober-living type home on property.
Roadside Attraction – Giant Grape
Being that this IS the Texas WINE Trail, it is our vision and intention to build a must-stop roadside attraction that will bring more visitors to the land That would be a giant GRAPE. This would be a very simple thing to build. Here you can sell promotional merchandise both on site and online. See more details here: gaygrape.com
Van Life Camping
This Seed of Life is open to van lifers who are following our “Terrain” approach to healthy living. See more details here. Are you interested in running this operation to help other van lifers out? Let me know!
