It’s been a while since I’ve seen them around town, but they used to show up in force around parts of Georgetown, Dupont Circle and Gallery Place. Looking decidedly like hippies and always selling magazines, CDs and bumper stickers and t-shirts bearing the message “Stop bitching, start a revolution,” these innocent-looking visitors were actually members of the Zendik Farm, which, depending on who you asked, was either a New Age commune or a strange cult.

Either way, a tipster today pointed out that the West Virginia farm where the group communed (or culted) is now on the market. For $950,000 the seven-bedroom, three-bath home on a tidy plot of land (including quarter-acre pond) near the town of Marlinton could belong to you and your cult of loyal followers, if that’s how you roll.

According to a former member, the group’s spiritual mother (or ruthless cult leader, depending on who you ask) passed away last year, and her daughter and son-in-law decided to sell the farm that the group had occupied since moving from North Carolina in mid-2004. (The City Paper’s Ryan Grim wrote a great profile of the group around that time.)

So stop bitching, get a mortgage and then start a revolution, OK?
