If you buy land and your community idea fails, you'll still have the land. Whether you "believe" in climate change or not, if I were you I'd take the long view and buy land that if anything, will benefit from climate change, rather than be harmed by it. That means land a little further north, again, look for aquifers or excess surface water, etc. Do you already have a location in mind, when you said an hour from town?

Yeah I agree that is something to consider.

The location would be in the Pacific Northwest.

I just found this though http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/08/a-major-earthquake-in-the-pacific-northwest-just-got-more-likely/495407/

If the earthquake is soon, you can probably buy property there even cheaper. Once the big earthquake hits, it probably won't hit again for thousands of years, though there may be other shocks. Yellowstone is not likely to blow soon.

Just from the top of my head that sounds ideal. I've looked at maps before thinking about where land might be best in a changing climate and I did settle on that being the most ideal, without digging too deep in it. There's plenty of water, the climate isn't too warm.
