If you are in the UK then you will love Whiteway, Gloucestershire. This was setup as a community where 'property was theft' and they obviously ran into the same problem of not being able to borrow money from banks to build houses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteway_Colony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteway_Colony The local area got lucky due to Fullers Earth, this happened to be a key ingredient for cottage industry wool making. So most nearby villages are made of Cotswold stone cottages complete with the 5ft high 'Hobbit friendly' doors. The market towns to support these villages are also made from the same Cotswold stone although you do get slate roofs (from when the canals arrived) and brick (from when the railway arrived). Whiteway is completely different. The architecture is more reminiscent of those wooden huts people build in places like the Falkland Islands and other remote British colonies where building materials would need to be obtained from a long, long way away. We did not really have the option to live there even if we wanted to as we wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage plus the property isn't available anyway. There was definitely a barrier to entry that made the place very much 'a colony', a closed world if only a few miles up the road. Although we can't live in such places due to practical considerations, the influence of these places does spill out into the neighbouring area. Not quite up to living Tolstoy style in Whiteway? Live nearby instead. Or visit! Since you are a 'passionate Georgist' I do recommend a trip to Gloucestershire in the UK because you will like a lot of the Quaker and other history.
