What is Adventure Trail Colony? – An Informal Network of Owners Making Things Happen

Created by, Lucas. Written by, Chat GPT.

Defining Adventure Trail Colony

Adventure Trail Colony (ATC) is an informal but intentional network of property owners. We’re not a traditional HOA or a rigid intentional community. Instead, we’re a group of like-minded people with a shared vision and practical goals.

Our Two Core Goals

1. Attract responsible people who keep their lots clean, maintained, and add value to the neighborhood.

2. Create a group willing to maintain the roads so everyone benefits from improved infrastructure.

   
   

The Road Maintenance Plan

The key driver is simple: we all agree to contribute $25 per month into a dedicated road fund. This gives us the resources to keep the entirety of Adventure Trail’s roads in excellent shape within just a few years at a surprisingly low cost.

The reason it hasn’t happened yet is that no one has had the organizing capability to make it a reality.

With ATC, we avoid the politics and infighting of the more populated part of the subdivision. We take the lead, set the standard, and as our success becomes visible, others will likely follow.

Maintaining Your Independence

• You own your lot with a deed in your name.

• No binding contracts or forced obligations.

• Participation is voluntary — the system works because people choose to be part of it.

  
  

Why Keep It Simple

Big, “perfect vision” intentional communities often collapse under their own weight. ATC avoids this by sticking to two realistic, achievable goals that deliver lasting value.

What Success Looks Like

• Well-kept lots that improve property values.

• A reliable road network maintained by neighbors who care.

• A welcoming, low-conflict atmosphere where people respect each other’s independence.

The Bonus – Building Connections

While our two goals are the foundation, we also hope to discover shared interests. That could mean events, group projects, and building genuine friendships. We want to be good neighbors who look out for one another and take joy in building something together. This is our opportunity to restore a sense of community that’s been lost in most places.

Adventure Trail Colony combines freedom with shared responsibility. Join us to secure your lot, help improve the neighborhood, and shape a community others will want to be part of. This is our chance to lead, improve, and build something meaningful together.
