    As a yoga retreat site, what is your unique selling point? It’s a crowded market and that looks like plain old farmland to me. While peaceful and quiet, why would I stay there and not somewhere more scenic?

      It is better to meditate in middle of nowhere (Total lack of distractions :D). Also lack of proper infrastructure enables people to feel more connected to nature which is not a lie. I have no great answer but I try to make the community culture better than others by being there as owner and organizing events. I could keep it cheap or offer free stuff like free vegan food and free massages. If I can arrange a place to dance on, I could teach dancing there.

      It does lack greenery but it felt pretty scenic to me when I was there. It is just kinda nothing in all directions. Nice breeze. Clean air. No bugs. I much rather be there than here (I’m in a normal apartment in a good location in the city) right now.

          Almost everything is agricultural land. There are some parcels with fruit and pine trees within 1km.

          No trees maybe because of the climate or land owners want to protect investment potential of their land. There’s an industrial zone that’s expanding slowly:
