cabin Membership and ownership

Taliama is conceived to be an intimate wellness community where we explore nature, design, food, and lifestyle. This year, we are preparing to share this vision with interested, like-minded folks. We believe that creating a way of living that respects all forms of life is possible, and we think that connecting with our own inner nature and the natural world surrounding us is critical in this process.

Our membership and private cabin lots will be released over time – by invitation only – to like-minded folks. Our Pioneer Program is being drafted to explain the process of applying for membership and ownership in the private cabin community. Each lot will include a fee simple purchase of land, access to a portfolio of pre-approved cabin designs, and enjoyment of the wellness campus of Taliama.

If you or others would like to learn more about our Pioneer Program, please sign up here.

Taliama’s master plan allows for 11 platted lots ranging from 1 to 3 acres in size. Each lot has special characteristics and a preferred placement for cabin construction.

There is a small portfolio of pre-approved cabin plans in the Pioneer Program. Also there is an approved list of local builders who can quote your cabin build.

Once built, we welcome you as a member of the Taliama community and look forward to discovering ways to get involved with the community.

our community and you

Getting in touch with your truest self can be challenging nowadays. Work, life, family, everything seems to be a priority, but what about you?

Taliama is our take on a model for a lifestyle more in sync with the natural rhythms. It acts as a retreat to help you reconnect and remember what’s most important in life. The community starts with you, as a healthy and well individual.

By engaging with us, you support this work, and hopefully, you receive inspiration for ways to apply this philosophy to your own daily life. With access to Taliama’s amenities year-round, we want our pioneers and guests to feel the healing powers of nature on mind, body, soul and spirit. Nature and your well-being go hand in hand at Taliama.

plans are underway

At Taliama, nature is the star of the show. The cabins, structures and amenities are being built with local natural materials including poplar and pine saw-milled from the property; sustainable building methods, and large windows to showcase the surrounding forest and the stars in the sky.

A thoughtful set of Nordic cabin plans will be available to Pioneers for construction. Each lot and plan is designed to embrace the natural environment and accentuate both socializing and sanctuary.

faq’s

  • The private cabin lots are acreage between 1 acre - 2.5 acres. We offer a set of plans that are pre-approved by Taliama Development for your choice and construction. We can recommend 2-3 local builders familiar with the development. Procure estimates from them independently, set your plan, and build your dream cabin in the heart of Taliama.

  • Due to the limited number of private cabin lots, we will release a few lots by invitation. We are seeking like-minded folks who believe in the vision of the community and intend to participate in the community for the betterment of all.

    Once an invitation has been extended and the interview process is complete, there will be a fee simple transaction where the cabin owner buys the land from Taliama Development LLC.

    Each owner will have 18 months to commence building on their land.

    If you are interested in becoming a member of the Pioneer Program, please send us a message and we can provide details.

  • Once the land has been purchased, new owners can chose a cabin plan from the pre-approved portfolio of plans to be estimated by a builder of their choice. We have 3 pre-approved builders you may chose to work with. The plans can also be modified by the owner, working directly with the architect, then re-submitted for approval before building beginning. Owners work directly with their builder of choice and White County for permitting.

  • Once an owner is approved, the purchase includes: the selected acreage (land), access to the portfolio of cabin plans, membership in the Pioneer Program, and access to hookups to the infrastructure and utilities. Taliama is on well water and septic. Wifi can be secured as well. All utilities will be established directly between the owner and White County, HEMC and others.

  • Invitations will be extended starting in late 2023. After the interview process is complete, the settlement will be scheduled.

    The price of lots is still being calculated. When invitations are extended, a full Pioneer Package will be presented to the owner including all pricing.

  • Simply ask to be considered for invitation. We welcome all like-minded folks who believe in the Taliama concept.

    We also welcome you to recommend others to be included. Our hope is to build a thriving, intimate cabin community where nature, neighbors and self realization are the stars of the show.

“Inside each of us is a home ready to be built. It takes a supply of ambition and materials to construct a cabin, but the reward is handsome: a shelter for yourself somewhere quiet, and a place to offer warm hospitality to friends.”
