We bought property off grid near Grand Canyon raw land...been here 3 yrs. we are in our mid sixties, we now have a tiny house, a barn and maintenance shed and we love it. but this is not a life for everyone though. we haul our water and run off solar and propane.. we work on our land everyday...and we learn everyday as well. Congrats to you and your journey.
Congratulations on your land purchase...it's really beautiful and you will love it! We bought 36 acres in SE AZ and moved onto it in September and it's a wonderful way to live. Your property reminds me of ours with the rolling hills and the rocky nature...we LOVE the rocks...some might look at them as an annoyance, but it's a free resource and we have been putting them to good use :) All the best for your move onto the property and development. Very nice!
Never to old! I grew up in Nevada and always have a love for the wide open desserts. People who have never lived in the desert can get fooled by the weather. High desert can get cold. I may not rain much compared to other places but when it rains! Haha I live in Florida now and really don’t care for the humidity that much. Nice property. Make your improvements and enjoy what you have while you can. I have thought about it but I would want to live closer so I could enjoy it more often.
Congrats! I’m 52 yrs old and hope to buy my land within next 6 months. My search begins for perfect property! Looking forward to all of you providing such great content for us all.
@@woanhwaliu I just bought a 36 acre plot from Western Land and Ranches, prices ranged between $20,000 and $65,000 depending upon the acreage. 25% down payment
Are there any springs or water holes? Get some large flat rocks and cement. Create a bowl shaped pit at the river bed. As it flows water will get trapped and create a pool for animals and critters to drink all year round. Trust me you’ll have lots of visitors and it’s amazing to watch them via trail cam
I've been in Arizona for 63 years, I have only seen a few springs in this state of Aridzona. Along the San Pedro river you get water. Drilling is hit or miss out side the river basins
There are a lot of dry River beds that run seasonally. Apache County sits on top the Coconino Aquifer, so I imagine that they will digging a well or already have one on their property. There are springs in some of the areas, especially in the sandstone buttes and bluffs in the area.
Nice piece of Property, Congratulations! I bought 20 acres 5 miles south of Ashfork AZ, plan on moving stuff out there this spring and starting My Builds, looking forward to seeing Your Progress, be looking for Your next Videos, take care and stay safe! 👍🤠
Is that Yavapai or Coconino? Yavapai Californians drove me out due to idiotic rules. Wasn't allowed to put in a storage container and restricted to camping on your own property 2 weeks a year to name two. Also a lot of that area is POA which adds another layer of rules.
Congratulations on you beautiful investment and homesteading adventure! I have recently purchased 7 acres in Navajo County and really looking forward to rehabbing my little farmstead.
I looked in that area regarding buying land. I thought the land & main road was too far from Saint John plus no mail service delivery any more. There's already some issues with the board members, political crap. Good luck with ur property.
Looks like a nice plot. I am 40 and intend to buy about 80 acres out there for around 30k. Not sure how you do it at your age, but must be strong. Much respect.
that's exactly what I would love to do....have been looking at properties through Landwatch - not sure how current their listings are, seems you go in and they are sold instantly .....maybe everyone thinking to do the same. (getting out of the concrete jungles) CONGRATULATIONS! so very happy for you in this next chapter of your life
Landwatch doesn't seem to have a lot of listings. Bought and sold my last property through Zillow and the one I am buying now. Zillow/Trulia list all MLS properties and FSBO.
Just discovered your channel and am looking forward to watching you transform your property. It looks like a beautiful place. I am not handy at all so living off grid would probably kill me but I love to live vicariously thru people like you.
Hello! I want to thank you for the encouragement you gave me when I met you in Yosemite Lakes in 2021! It was my first time doing a long distance trip in my little Casita Travel Trailer, and you were so encouraging. I would have looked you up sooner, but I just found your card. I hope Sam is doing well!! I am currently work camping in Cherokee North Carolina. I'm hoping to go to Arizona in the Spring of 2024! Congratulations on your new adventure. I'm partial to butterflies, so I think you should name it "Mariposa Ranch". A place of peace, rest and new beginnings!
Looks nice, just remember... You have to be part of the land, not the whole thing. No lawns or croquet. Off grid for 25 years in northern New Mexico, it will be tough on you.😅
Yes there is a cat around, every april she comes to help herself to food...chickens, goats, pigs, alpaca, dogs. Dunno where her den is, but figure she comes in April to get food for babies. I'm sure there more then one, but I heard they claim around 250 acres as there turf.
Miss you and Megan , the door is always open for you two, what part of the country are you guys? I hear you’re in sticks and bricks, is that right ? Be great to share a campfire.
Found your channel through this video! We have a similar property purchase in Nevada, but ours is all sage brush. We have the same ideas. Excited to see your videos!
I too bought 40 ac north of Winnemucca NV, its full of sage brush, planning to clear them up this coming March and do some development there. Any idea how to clear sage brush quick & cheap?
Congratulations on your purchase, I’m finishing up the paperwork for the title on my 36 acre plot of land in northwest Arizona. I’m looking forward to doing similar projects as well on my land. Good luck with future endeavors
Excited to meet you - to learn of someone else who is doing exactly what we're doing - buying land in NE AZ. Maybe we'll end up as neighbors!! Question - what will the Apache County zoning allow you to do on this land? Thank you for sharing your journey!
Am buying right now in Apache having just sold in Yavapai. Cochise seems to be most lax with code and Apache second. I don't care for the vegetation in Cochise and Apache is closer to my Rio Rancho home.
Your land looks like it’s either near St Johns or Concho. My grandparents have had 80 acres 20 miles east of Snowflake for over 40 years. FYI it gets extremely windy most of the year. Maybe invest in some windmills for power.
Best of Luck! You will become very busy living there in the sticks. My wife and I are of your age and are currently planning our move back to the suburbs after living in a forest for thirty years. Looking forward to winters without plowing, firewood and maintaining buildings and roads. Rest Up, you will need your energy.
Love the Property, but that POA will keep going up. Doesn’t seem like much , but when your on a fixed income , it’s one more bill to pay. Just saying. If you don’t mind it , then all is good .
Wow great place man. Im looking at a place north of Winslow, but id love to get boots on the ground and see if i can handle that weather first. I built a tiny house in central BC Canada but, god im cold. The prices are definitely right out there... Any advice for me?
TL;DR: I have about 40 acres in Elk Valley / St Johns area and I can see the Power Plant from there. It's been 10+ years since my last visit and at that time, my unit was desolate and abandoned, except for one house. I guess they had a fire and it wiped out most of what I remembered from my original visit and then remote purchase and maybe people also just bailed out. My plot was pretty far away from utilities and my recent annual statement was just received for $192 from the association and the property taxes are $120 / yr.
@@SmittyAZ ya....pretty amazing that Apache cty is so devoid of bigger towns and stores. How odd that the biggest town is in the next county over, i.e. Show Low. I just checked, the whole county is only 65,000 people and declining.
Congratulations! We have been looking at 'Smugglers Roost' in New Mexico. 18'x100 ' lot (of 356 lot potentially) Full hookups, dump drop, facilities on site: coin-less laundry, showers, restaurant nearby in Animas reasonably priced- for 6 month stays if buying a site.. Plus we are still looking at Show-low, AZ rural properties that were affordable.. Are you near any of these? We'd love to visit!! I'll be your "Cookie".. BBQ, Classic faire locally or any of your favorites! Best of luck! Be safe!
Not familiar with smugglers roost, but it sounds great , properties just north of St. John’s AZ, which is about an hour east of Show-low , yes, keep me on the list to come visit , not sure when I’ll be back, but that’s the life of a nomad , I’ll make a video about my future plans soon.
Hi! On my way there end of April for however long it takes to find my Konderosa rancho. Looking for same thing, 20 to 40 acs. Sold My place of 30 plus years In Joshua Tree, Ca. Was going to do the 1000 trails as I'm 2nd generation with them, the dues is cheap to keep, but I need a project to keep me busy. Would be nice to meet you then if it works out. Happy trails, Mike.
How about "This Moment Ranch"? Because you are busy living in each moment, right? The land looks really wonderful. Shall you make diversion pools/berms/swales to retain as much of that monsoon water as possible, so you can plant shade trees etc, and green your high desert... If I had an extra bobcat I'd sent you one :-) Lots of work ahead, enjoy!
Your acreage looks so cool for Off-Road Vehicle riding. I have a VW powered sand-rail outfitted with Mud Terrain tires that would be an absolute blast there on that property. Good luck with everything on your journey.
Concho valley? Been here in AZ for since 1990 sure wish I bought some land up there back in 2010 it was cheap. Everyone is moving here now prices are crazy almost as bad as California now. If your 6000 feet or below it can get to 110 there. We have friends lived there since 1980's I was up there around Labor Day it was about 108F. Only bad thing is if you need EMS looking at 45-60-minute response maybe longer.
Hey there rvliving. I'm a sub on your channel and Rusty's and Kevin's along with more. I've lived in AZ since '69. Yes, Kevin's property is also in Apache County which is located in the northeast corner of the state. Catch you on the flip side.
Love the property. I'm leaving the Ozarks in a few to buy a few acres. I'll follow your page to keep up on what you are up to. I love the trees but I'm an old guy living for years in a bus with my dog. Need to plant my feet but 35 acres is way more than i can afford.
E. Z. LIVIN Maybe you can find a place to long term rent a small parcel and live in your bus to see how you like the area. While looking for your permanent small place. I did a similar purchase but was 20+ yrs ago . Developed a few acres solo. Much younger then though too. Its doable but may need to find private owner & creative financing.
Beautiful land. Are there other lots available for sale? If so. Who would I contact to inquire about them? I am a Vanlifer who is look for a home base to build a tiny off grid home on.
Congrats Sam..great job on the video..I just started looking in that area. Seems prices keep going up..thanks for the contact about John. I would like to talk to someone knowledgeable in the area…Do you have any regrets on your purchase?
Yes, I’ve been following your videos , it’s only two counties over, it’s been a while since we ran a extension cord from my rig to yours, thank you and all the best to you , and I look forward to the next time our paths cross .
Water source? Can you dig for a well (last I heard, that costs over $35K), or will you have to rely on having it trucked in and stored in tanks? We live in Yavapai County and may have to relocate because of increasing development.
Apparently you didn't watch the video, he said there is a community well that you can use as you need, but you have to haul the water back to your property.
I wana do same. Looking at owner financing in apache county. Never been to arizona but i wish to do similiar with off grid living and camper van. Im excited seeing this as all the pics of properties im looking at look just like this:)
I would be hugely greatfull if could help me know how to find RV friendly land there in Apache I need something low I can live in my motorhome Currently boondocking in quartzite
@carolmaplesden916 according to frugal offgrid he said they told him living in his van, which he made into an "RV" is fine, he lives in it, and keeps it inside a barn. I'm thinking about calling them to make sure, I'm pretty sure it's Apache, and Navajo.. Those are the only places I know of you can actually just live on a piece of land, with nothing but an RV.. Mohave county you have to have a septic, which I was quoted is about 8,000$, before you can do anything more than camp on it for a few weeks a year. You can get a yearly special permit for an RV in Mohave county, but you have to have a county approved septic system installed. The frugal offgrid guy doesn't have a septic, as far as I know, and it's ridiculous that you need to have one, even if you use an incinerating/composting toilet.. Which you can do in Mohave, but you still have to have the 8k$ septic installed..
@@foxmulder7616 this was valuable info! Ty so much. Absolutely ridiculous we can pay for a piece of land and still have to abide by these rules. What if we don't want a septic. Man oh man....I really appreciate you :)
@SamNme in a RV Hello!! This in my plan in that area. I live in Phoenix and I am sick of the heat. Can you answer a few questions for me? Is there access to the internet out there? Is it COX or the Tesla's Starlink? What kind of download speeds area available , if any? Thank you and congrats on your property!!
My wife and I lived on similar property in California. It's important to always think about rattelers whlle walking around, we usually kicked rocks ahead of us as we went....
Very nice! I'm thinking of doing something similar myself a few years down the road. Hopefully I'll be able to find my way out for a visit at some point.
Not sure if anybody else noticed this but in the beginning of your video between the times 0.25 and 0.50 what is the rocket looking thing flying in the air behind you which disappears and then in the same location something turns from a dull dot into a bright star and disappears?

Beautiful land! This has been a goal of mine for a while. I want to do more traveling first. Happy to live vicariously through you until then.
water catchment is a better bet than a well. Permaculture would be your best friend. Keep the water on your land instead of washing away.

maybe on the inside of the wash bed
maybe 20 to 30 feet away from the wash
With a channel into it

What's the name of the big wash ? Most washes that big have a name, maybe name the property after the wash that runs through it ?
Maybe dig a deep spot in wash to hold water for animals after the rain….. 🌧
Welcome to the neighborhood!! Son's family and us just live off Concho highway. Sounds like you got some plans, will be fun!
Awesome! Thank you!
Did you find somebody to drill your well? My husband may be able to do it if you are near Witch Well.

Lots of space in Yavapai. Have 8 acres to sell you :]
@@Step-n-Wolf You got anything near civilization?
@@steveurkel1487 right off i40 west of Seligman 8 acres
Apparently you didn't watch the video, he said there is a community well that you can use as you need, but you have to haul the water back to your property.
I saw that too and it was a first for me. Very nice
What kind of fruit trees does your neighbor have. Curious as to what grows out there, looking at land out there
I wana do same. Looking at owner financing in apache county. Never been to arizona but i wish to do similiar with off grid living and camper van. Im excited seeing this as all the pics of properties im looking at look just like this:)
I would be hugely greatfull if could help me know how to find RV friendly land there in Apache I need something low I can live in my motorhome
Currently boondocking in quartzite
@carolmaplesden916 according to frugal offgrid he said they told him living in his van, which he made into an "RV" is fine, he lives in it, and keeps it inside a barn. I'm thinking about calling them to make sure, I'm pretty sure it's Apache, and Navajo.. Those are the only places I know of you can actually just live on a piece of land, with nothing but an RV.. Mohave county you have to have a septic, which I was quoted is about 8,000$, before you can do anything more than camp on it for a few weeks a year. You can get a yearly special permit for an RV in Mohave county, but you have to have a county approved septic system installed. The frugal offgrid guy doesn't have a septic, as far as I know, and it's ridiculous that you need to have one, even if you use an incinerating/composting toilet.. Which you can do in Mohave, but you still have to have the 8k$ septic installed..
@@foxmulder7616 this was valuable info! Ty so much. Absolutely ridiculous we can pay for a piece of land and still have to abide by these rules. What if we don't want a septic. Man oh man....I really appreciate you :)
@@foxmulder7616
Same thank you so much for this information some how I didn't get a notice from you
I hope you can find something
Let me know okay!!!
@@carolmaplesden916 your welcome thanks for commenting! 😊 Good luck!
@SamNme in a RV Hello!! This in my plan in that area. I live in Phoenix and I am sick of the heat. Can you answer a few questions for me? Is there access to the internet out there?

Good luck on your endevors...
I'm down here in Lakeside....going on 35 years... AZ-329
My wife and I lived on similar property in California. It's important to always think about rattelers whlle walking around, we usually kicked rocks ahead of us as we went....
Enjoyed your video very much and hope to see more of your Off Grid Land
Congratulations! We have been looking as well! Ron...as in Ron Allen?? Can we join your RV Club??😁 I'm really happy for you!
It is Ron Allen and you’re already a member of the RV club . Thinking of having a rendezvous, I’ll let you guys know.

I’m glad I prepared myself for Retirement. I would hate to start over in my 60s.
I'm looking for the same thing you have.
Beautiful. Going up there next week to scope out some spots
I am looking forward to your videos. Great looking land. Congratulations.
Thanks.
Very nice! I'm thinking of doing something similar myself a few years down the road. Hopefully I'll be able to find my way out for a visit at some point.
Thank you, you should make a plan and do it. That’s what I did. Best of luck, and you should do it sooner cause they’re not making anymore land.
Awesome parcel! Apache county looks great online. Hope to check it out in person this winter.
You should!
Wow, lovely place!
(edit) A possible name;
Relaxation Wranglers Headquarters
I've been trying to talk my wife into the same thing in the same area. Eventually living inside an earthship.
Can you share your realtors information please.
Congrats Craig! I was thinking Travelers Roost?
Looking to buy in same area!! Thanks for sharing!!
Call it Samsville Ranch 😊
Not sure if anybody else noticed this but in the beginning of your video between the times 0.25 and 0.50 what is the rocket looking thing flying in the air behind you which disappears and then in the same location something turns from a dull dot into a bright star and disappears?
Rusty Rock Ranch
Rockin' Ranch I know it a year too late... just thought I would participate.
Beautiful property !!!
Beautiful country. Congratulations.
You also have a lot of dead wood to harvest
