This is between Kingman and Seligman -- take 93 toward Wickenburg

I have several lots in Mohave county. Biggest problem is water. You need to have an underground tank installed, and have water delivered. You can get it yourself at a county well, but delivery isn't bad. Keep away from Dolan Springs area of Mohave County. You leave anything unattended its as good as gone.

Good luck finding 'trees'. There is no water in the desert and no trees. Also watch out for flash floods. Moving up in elevation is something to consider.
Google is helpful but probably your best bet would be finding a Realtor who knows the area. Also, drive to see everything in person before buying. A lot of cheap desert property scams over the years. I don't know if I would personally spend 12K for a camping site. I would want a remote area with a water-table (for a proper well) and a possible compound of some sort. Maybe a couple of portable buildings on a proper slab, well water to drink, maybe some solar/wind power. A place to shoot...hahahah....it's all good. Have fun.!

I have 5 acres and hardly go there. If you buying for camping.. i suggest save your cash and just go to BLM land. They are free to camp. However, if you want to build is another story....

Up where it snows, the locals hit the tourist cabins on their snowmobiles and clean them out. I want some place in the country, but I want to travel as well. If I leave for two or three months, the locals will notice and clean it out. You need to have somebody reliable to house sit, for free. Buy their food, it's cheaper than replacing everything you own. |

I've been looking at this off-and-on for a while now. Personally, I like the looks of either Yavapai or Coconino County, AZ. High elevation = lower temps. Lots of juniper and pinon pine trees, and rolling hills = interesting views.
Regarding building, it seems difficult. Apparently the whole county of Yavapai is treated as if it was downtown Prescott regarding the level of permitting that you need to obtain. Those areas where decent acreage is available with trees for under $50k also happen to be really far from any sort of civilization. That's my cup o' tea, but any contractors / building supplies / etc are going to have to travel quite a ways to get to you. Water might require a deep well but delivery is also available, and overall, is obtainable for reasonable (for off the grid) prices. You can shoot on private property, but it has to be 1 mile from any dwelling or "occupied structure." Good luck finding that ![]() Last edited by Rumline; 04-04-2013 at 4:15 PM.. |

My wife's uncle owns thousands of acres right off the Highway 93. His name is Leo Horner and is legit. Give him a call at (928) 715-2444 or (928) 530-1363.
You can check out one of his developments here: http://www.silveradoaz.com/index.html

I own in the Willow Creek Ranch - great place. It's about 30 miles up the freeway from Kingman, and about 4000K feet up. Being this high, we have a good mix of trees, sessional creeks, and interesting landscapes. The whole place is intermixed with BLM land so there is not many people around. Good Luck. |

Hey OP, a couple of acres will not give you much privacy. My buddy has ten acres (very rural) and it is tough to position yourself where you cannot be seen from another dwelling. I like your idea, just thought you might set your sights a little bigger piece of property is the cash flow permits. Good Luck.
