Based on how the Safein Community describes itself—as a cooperative with collective investment and decision-making—it’s most likely that the land is owned by the cooperative itself, rather than by any single individual.
Here’s how that typically works in such a structure:
- The cooperative (a legal entity such as a nonprofit or LLC with cooperative bylaws) holds the deed to the land.
- Members of the cooperative do not own individual parcels but instead hold membership or equity stakes, giving them rights to use the land and make decisions about it.
- The land is managed according to rules set by the council or a governing body elected by members, ensuring shared control.
This model prevents private speculation or sale of land for profit and ensures it remains used for the community’s shared goals—like housing, food production, or workspaces.
We are considered only doing a LLC or a land trust. However this is something you can invest in
Think of it you are renting off someone like most people have been doing including myself… You dont own anything… you just live there right?… same way here but a lot cheaper and great benefits.
