We had 60 inches of snow last year not 130. 130 is Williams proper. Prices are over priced to cover back taxes. I don't suggest leaving your trailer here or things will be taken away unless you have a fence. 4x4 is a must.
depending on where in texas it could be a MUCH further drive than 45 minutes to a city the size of flagstaff. I could also see this place getting some demand from seasonal RVers (RVing is much more popular in the west coast) wanting to be close to the Grand Canyon NP.
One acre of raw, arid land for $18,000? There are places in rural Maine and Arkansas and Mississippi, where the cost per acre is less than $2000 and there is plenty of rainfall for gardening or having a wood lot. The cost of a piece of raw land is just the beginning of the expenses. Be aware that it can be very expensive to improve raw land enough so that you can put a permanent modern home there and live there. This is why house lots in towns and cities are more expensive than raw rural lots -- most of the improvements have already been done to make the lot ready to put a house on it. And the more improvements you make to the raw land, the more valuable it becomes -- and the higher the property taxes will go. Find out how local property taxes are calculated before you decide to buy. Never buy a piece of raw land without knowing who owns the mineral rights to it and what plans they may have for "your" land. You do not want an oil well to be put in your front yard or strip mining on that property. Find out how much it costs to have enough water delivered to fill that water storage tank. Estimate how many times a year you will have to fill that tank and how you can prevent water rustlers from stealing the water (yes that is a real thing). Also find out whether drilling a water well is allowed and, if so, how deep the water wells are on nearby properties and the cost per foot/yard of sinking a well pipe. Also find out if you are allowed to do rainwater catchment -- yes some states do not allow this. Find out what the local electric power company would charge per foot/yard to bring a power line onto the property to where you want your house to be built (or your house trailer placed or your RV parked). Check out the local cost of hiring heavy equipment + operator to grade a driveway if the property does not have a driveway where you want one to be. Check out the cost of getting loads of gravel dumped onto a newly graded driveway. How much would it cost to put in a level concrete parking pad for an RV or park model trailer if that is how you want to live? Check out the costs of putting in a septic system and whether the soil is suitable (ask about perk tests on nearby inhabited properties). Get an idea of the local cost of pumping out a septic tank or of using a local dump station if you have an RV. Always use the services of a local licensed real estate agent who specializes in raw land/agricultural land sales or a local real estate attorney so you can be sure the seller has clear title to the land and there are no liens or undisclosed restrictions on the property. Expect to pay cash for raw land -- banks do not like to loan money for purchases of small parcels of raw land. Beware of entering into a contract to make monthly payments directly to the seller -- if you miss a payment the seller could take back the land and not return any of your payments (you need your own attorney to review any such contract and advise you before you decide to sign). Lack of an HOA means your neighbors may be allowed to do things that make your living on your land miserable. How are nearby properties zoned? Commercial? Agricultural? Mixed use? What if neighbors are within their rights to put a pig farm or smelly stockyard up wind of your property? What if they install a target range and like to practice shooting at 5 a.m.? What if a truck stop is built nearby and there is the sound of big rig engines 24/7? Know how nearby properties are zoned before you buy a rural property. If nearby properties have shacks and derelict vehicles on them and look like junk yards, this will adversely impact the value of your residential property when it comes time for you to sell. Few people want to live next to a shanty town or a junk yard or a trash dump. Be aware that the longer the distance from a fire hydrant, the more expensive your home owner's insurance will be. The longer the travel time to the nearest emergency room, public school and supermarket, the less desirable the property is and the less someone else will be willing to pay, some day, to buy the property from you. Hire the right professionals and get the true facts about a property before you decide to part with any of your hard earned money. Know what you are getting into before you buy.
Thanks for sharing! Where do you think a good area to find 5 acers or less for under 10K that you can have a small farm on and build small structures without a permit such as green house and able to live in a van/RV/or tiny home/log cabin? Also would like to hunt, fish and farm year round with a warmer climate, thanks!
@@jamesesslinger1976 I would look in rural Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi for lower cost rural land parcels. In any county where there is low median income and few job opportunities, you likely will find lower prices on unimproved house lots and small parcels of raw land. Look to buy in rural areas where there are already people living in single wide and double wide trailers. Keep in mind that a used mobile home will probably cost you a lot less and give you more living space than a self-built or purchased tiny home. RVs are fragile and not designed for cold weather living. Many county governments do not allow use of RVs as permanent residences -- check this out before you buy land if you are set on living in an RV. Or be prepared to "store" that RV inside a large metal barn on your property. I have heard that many county governments are unfriendly towards off-grid living. Expect to connect your home to the local power grid to avoid problems getting permits.You can always hire an electrician to install a disconnect so you can switch from local grid power to your own solar power. Pay attention to cell phone tower coverage, soil fertility and history of flooding when choosing agricultural land. Budget for digging a water well (if you intend to irrigate crops), installing a septic tank, putting in a gravel driveway and installing a livestock fence and farm gate to keep human and livestock trespassers off your property and away from your crops.
I just happened to see your video and enjoyed it... thanks so much! It peaked my interest because I bought 5 acres - sight unseen - 10 years ago on eBay in the southeast corner of Arizona for $3000. I'm about halfway between Douglas and Willcox at the foot of Chiricahua Mtn. in Cochise County. I love it out here and have somehow survived through it all. For the first 8 years I lived in a tent!!! I finally finished however a small house that I built completely by myself. I still don't have heating or cooling, not to mention running water, but I put in solar (again, by myself) for electrical power, which truly makes things every so much better. I have a very small water tank and haul in my own water, which is no big deal. Anyway, just thought I'd comment because I truly love living out here without any rules and regulations and have nothing to enjoy but Mother Nature.
It is ridiculous to buy 1 acre out there for $18000! I am glad you talked about the snowfall, I was out there in September when it was really hot, difficult to even think there might be snow there, but that makes a big difference in formulating dreams of what a person needs to survive there.
Wow - $18k for 1 acre in the desert, seems extremely high. I am in Texas, and quality land here tends to go for around $10k an acre. (And in our deserts in west Texas, you can buy land for about $1k an acre.
Informative video. That area had a zoning change at the end of 2019 (to “General”) and since then, investors have poured millions into the Valle area (UnderCanvas, ClearSky Resorts, etc.) and according to public records, many of these investors have split these lots and are currently going thru the “approval process” with the county for new projects. It’s just a matter of time before this area explodes with new development.
For everyone wondering why it is so expensive for just one acre in the middle of Nowhere with no amenities. It's because these properties are being sold by a real estate company. And you better believe it will be twice as much then if a private seller sold it.
Very true! I bought mine just in time and now I get letters from companies every month wanting to buy it from me. They buy huge lots and divide them up into 1-acre lots.
@@Jj-gi2uv I'm looking to buy two acres off off grid land to farm/homestead where it's warm over the winter. Phoenix AZ has 300 sunshine days and that's most in America
You can't just do what you want. You can get a permit to live in your RV for 120 days at a time as long as you're building a home and have a current building permit. Plus, you've got to have a permit for your generator, your solar, and your solar batteries bank.
People on reddit talk about nobody enforcing these permits, but I can imagine getting caught and fined for not having them wouldn’t be very fun either. Me, I would probably risk it. lol
Most people do not live in those areas is because the wind is extremely annoying after awhile. Just along the 40 freeway windy windy ALL the time. Ughhhh
Just two years ago there was almost no one out there. The 180 side has blown up. The mud builds up in your wheels and can literally break axles off if you’re in a car. Heard theft is major issue. Oh and the wind…
I went to NAU so I am quite famaliar with the area, but havent lived out that way since 2007. I have been keeping my eye on properties around Williams for a while now, I think this year will finally be when I buy. Luckily I plan on getting property without utilities and doing an off grid setup so that isn't an issue for me.
I used to live on my 5 acres in a glorified shed cabin in Valle. It's a gorgeous area. There are serious details you need consider before buying there.
Neighbors here in Phoenix got sucked into the "deal". Yes, horrible wind daily, no water, have to haul in. Snakes, scorpions, they ended up walking away
I own 2 acres, right there, South of Valle - one road in from the highway. You CAN NOT do whatever you want. There are rules and permits and all kinds of regulations regarding what kind of structures you can build, what size, set backs from adjoining properties, how many days you can have a trailer or RV parked. You also can't build a structure without first doing a perk test and installing a septic system.
Sold my 2 acre plot for $5k last year due to restrictions and cost of utilities. Plus neighboring plots combining to fence across the listed access roads. Had no interest in fighting it due to cost of development.
@@flagstaffazliving Hi, Oops, I changed that, after I reread it. Sorry dear, I sometimes don't see the full impact a few words can have. I want you to keep helping others find properties. I hope it's ok now.
Who in their right mind would WANT to move to the desert in Arizona, land of low rainfall, no trees, high heat, etc. !!! Here in Ga, have had rain for 5 out of 10 days plus a well for 40 years and never had to worry about running out of water. And NO HOA’s and CC&R’s where I live !!
@@bennym1956 born raised them Minnesota I got tired of all the cloudy days no sunshine too much rain mosquitoes there’s not a perfect place to live for I enjoy six months of beautiful weather in the winter here in Arizona and don’t use my furnace or my air conditioner for half the year. Besides, I enjoy the pool all summer.
Yeah, we bought an acre only to find out that digging a well was impossible, 5,000 feet for water. Electricty was $12k. Try to dig a septic ststem good luck!
Great channel, PLEASE KEEP it up. There are many and many, like so many people who are redirecting their lifestyle and your channel WILL CATER to their needs. Maybe incorporate your business with realtors/brokers, local businesses that are in the area that WILL benefit your marketing efforts that will help their business, etc. BEST OF LUCK.
When I look at land in Az it is about $1000 per acre and less for many acres, I think you got took, now it went up slightly in 2022-24 do to the housing bubble but not that much. For instance, there are many 40 acre lots for $28 - 30,000
In 2017, we bought an acre near concho/Vernon, Az for $1500. Now those same acres are going for $8000 to 11,000. The wind is a huge factor in eastern, and northeastern Arizona. ...sometimes 40-70 mph for two or three days straight. It can wear on your psyche.
I would imagine most people there would use solar panels and battery banks for power but what about sewage? If I bought there I have an RV that I live in and travel with but concerned about dumping the tanks
I was recently offered $120k for my Northern Arizona property by a solar panel company that puts in hundreds of acres of solar panels. So, prices are going way up soon.
I have a property in Navajo County. Less restrictions. You can build as many 400sft structures as you want on your property. They can't touch though. With no permits or codes.
Freezing , windy winters , no ground water , no electricity until you spend a lot of money . Price everything carefully before you buy this type of land
It’s a water haul area, no wells, as far as I know. To connect to the existing electricity our local company will give you a $10,000 credit towards setting it up (APS)
Most lots have to be 1.25 acre, The reason the distance from the septic to well. If you don't have a well it would not apply, check county codes first. Delivery of water cost? Cost of truck, cost of driver, cost of water. The San Pedro river area is a much better choice Wells can be drilled easily, and only need to be 60' deep for the most part. Make sure a survey is done before you buy, I would never buy any thing without a well.
Don't forget to tell people that if there are cattle in the area Az is a free roam state. It would be the land owners responsibility to fence anything they don't want eaten or damaged.😊
Why wouldn’t you come to Golden Valley Az? They have the same as you have there as far as no HOA and no CCRs. Big properties starting at 1 acre for small prices like you except that no snow, maybe up to an inch but it goes away right away. And lots and lots of big mountain views. Same permit for living in RV’s and septic put in. Who wants to come and have snow to contend with. Way better in Golden Valley Az. You have no views. And we have some places that have water in the road and some electricity. Lots of those. And we have some paved roads. Very nice.
Lived there for 2 decades if one buys up here try to find property on a county maintained road saw many people come and go it's not for everyone Camp up.there first then.make the decision to buy
So you brushed over something real quick. So you said in the beginning you can do what you want on the land. Yet near the end you stated if the living area was around 200 sqf you have to buy a permit every 120 days? Thats buying a permit 3 times a year…to live on property you paid for. Did I hear that correctly? That doesn’t sound like being able to do what you want. I am currently living in a county with similar restrictions. I understand paying yearly property taxes. I don’t understand how state officials snuck a law in telling people they need to buy permits to live on property they paid for.
I think the reason is because they dont want a thousand 2 acre sites with one trailer parked on it year around. It's not good for future development. So usually you have to live there showing progress towards a permanent structure in increments. But each county in az is probably a little different. Just for the record tho I'm all for being able to just purchase land and park a trailer on it period.
Other places in az are good,just remember weather in summer no matter where you are in az can get hot,and in the winter gets cold . And do your homework on the area as alot of people who want too live this way do it for a reason and not just cause of hoa or ccr. Be cautious
@@flagstaffazliving The whole point of williams area lots is a) cooler b) not too far from a sizeable town- Williams- not dozens of miles out. This is why this property is a) hot b) far from any real town, c) a good price (and there is no water). Thanks VERY MUCH for this overall video and discussion!
If you are trying to sell these plots, you just turned a lot of people off from that idea. What are the “common pitfalls to avoid” ? Like buy in Arizona?
My stepbrothers mother not mine bought a lot out there 30 years ago still no building out there you know why it was a real estate ripoff like like they do in Florida years ago
No !! most people don't realize how high up Arizona is.. average elevation is 4100 ft. I've called you got to dig at least a thousand feet up to 1200 maybe 1500 ft.. it's about a hundred thousand dollars to dig a well. you have to bring in water if someone willing
Most land sales are strictly cash, I've been trying to find land. I looked in new Mexico and they won't allow me to live without power or water, says it's unsafe. Well due to inflation on literally everything, I'm now living in my van. I guess they assume this is safe
Hello! @Terribassalay7665 if your interested My husband have 10acre s an willing to take half down an rest on payments. .he will work with you an no bank involved we have land deed in hand.
Spring thaw makes the roads nearly impassable. We had to park our four-wheel drive Surburban and walk into our ranch in Howard Mesa Ranch. And when we left for work. we had to worry about the locals stealing our stuff. Most people who live there were collecting state or federal aid: po-folks.
Yes I won't 100 Acers Ground .I see problom's I don't like city life City people I have Fedral Land Grant filed Must be A Structure on the property .I will find place not in the city round drug antics or drug Dealers .

There are rules and permits and all kinds of regulations regarding what kind of structures you can build, what size, set backs from adjoining properties, how many days you can have a trailer or RV parked. You also can't build a structure without first doing a perk test and installing a septic system.
Sold my 2 acre plot for $5k last year due to restrictions and cost of utilities. Plus neighboring plots combining to fence across the listed access roads. Had no interest in fighting it due to cost of development.
Very nice. I will be in touch. You look like a very honest person. Thanks very much for sharing your Amazing Adventure in life.
Thank you!

@@flagstaffazliving Hi, Oops, I changed that, after I reread it. Sorry dear, I sometimes don't see the full impact a few words can have. I want you to keep helping others find properties. I hope it's ok now.
@@AhJodie you’re very kind! Thank you!! 😘
Who in their right mind would WANT to move to the desert in Arizona, land of low rainfall, no trees, high heat, etc. !!! Here in Ga, have had rain for 5 out of 10 days plus a well for 40 years and never had to worry about running out of water. And NO HOA’s and CC&R’s where I live !!
Thank God, people have different interest otherwise everybody was going to live in the same place. Five out of 10 days of rain would be depressing.
@@5toed-lizard. Not all day, but nice trees, grass , etc. !!! Main thing it insures is drinking water !!
@@5toed-lizard.not to mention their ungodly humidity! Clean air, dry heat. It’s actually hotter in Ga, than Northern Az . Humidity sucks,.
@@bennym1956 born raised them Minnesota I got tired of all the cloudy days no sunshine too much rain mosquitoes there’s not a perfect place to live for I enjoy six months of beautiful weather in the winter here in Arizona and don’t use my furnace or my air conditioner for half the year. Besides, I enjoy the pool all summer.
Yeah, we bought an acre only to find out that digging a well was impossible, 5,000 feet for water. Electricty was $12k. Try to dig a septic ststem good luck!
How deep to drill a water well down to secondary water? & price .
Just what we need more people moving into that area.
No trees! I just purchased 18 acres for $23,000 in Williams off RT 64 & I have a lot of mature trees. Valle no trees & always so windy
18 acres for $23k?!! That’s a great deal!! And yes, valle is windy!
Can you share what realtor you had

Thank you 🙏😊
I remember the newspaper ads for these lots. It was an illustration of your dream home sheltered in the shade of one of these bushes.

Great channel, PLEASE KEEP it up. There are many and many, like so many people who are redirecting their lifestyle and your channel WILL CATER to their needs. Maybe incorporate your business with realtors/brokers, local businesses that are in the area that WILL benefit your marketing efforts that will help their business, etc. BEST OF LUCK.
When I look at land in Az it is about $1000 per acre and less for many acres, I think you got took, now it went up slightly in 2022-24 do to the housing bubble but not that much. For instance, there are many 40 acre lots for $28 - 30,000
In 2017, we bought an acre near concho/Vernon, Az for $1500. Now those same acres are going for $8000 to 11,000. The wind is a huge factor in eastern, and northeastern Arizona. ...sometimes 40-70 mph for two or three days straight. It can wear on your psyche.
Yes the " dry storms" can wear on your nerves
I would imagine most people there would use solar panels and battery banks for power but what about sewage? If I bought there I have an RV that I live in and travel with but concerned about dumping the tanks
I was recently offered $120k for my Northern Arizona property by a solar panel company that puts in hundreds of acres of solar panels. So, prices are going way up soon.
That’s a great place for solar panels and wind turbines
Someone I know bought a 40 for $17k in Valle in 2019. I was in Seligman but sold and went to Concho. Lower cost, less rules.
How much would a 2 car carport cost to build up there in Williams off grid?
Beautiful AZ with BLUE SKY.
Is there a 14 day rule to stay on a property you purchased, with a 30 day rule for a year? Otherwise, don't you have to have septic put in?
If you want freedom and non interference, Apache county is the place. Plus you can get 5 acres or more for that same 11k with more foliage
What parts of Apache County do have trees/ foliage? In the southern part? I had gotten the impression it was mostly dry and open. Thx😊.
Just got back from there- long drive
I have a property in Navajo County. Less restrictions. You can build as many 400sft structures as you want on your property. They can't touch though.
With no permits or codes.
Also lots of freedom in alaska so...
What do they charge you for that 120 days camping permit ?
Freezing , windy winters , no ground water , no electricity until you spend a lot of money . Price everything carefully before you buy this type of land
Just saw your TH-cam, are you able to drill for a well? What was the 10,000 for electricity?
It’s a water haul area, no wells, as far as I know. To connect to the existing electricity our local company will give you a $10,000 credit towards setting it up (APS)
Most lots have to be 1.25 acre, The reason the distance from the septic to well. If you don't have a well it would not apply, check county codes first. Delivery of water cost? Cost of truck, cost of driver, cost of water. The San Pedro river area is a much better choice Wells can be drilled easily, and only need to be 60' deep for the most part. Make sure a survey is done before you buy, I would never buy any thing without a well.
Don't forget to tell people that if there are cattle in the area Az is a free roam state. It would be the land owners responsibility to fence anything they don't want eaten or damaged.😊
For reference, I have a FQ2514 toy hauler 8x27.5 on the inside, that's 220sqft.
You have to have a permit to camp on your own land???
We got a couple acres in Valle.
I have not been there in 10 years
Thanks for video 😊
Thank you🫂🌹 its a great idea. I love it😃
Why wouldn’t you come to Golden Valley Az? They have the same as you have there as far as no HOA and no CCRs. Big properties starting at 1 acre for small prices like you except that no snow, maybe up to an inch but it goes away right away. And lots and lots of big mountain views. Same permit for living in RV’s and septic put in. Who wants to come and have snow to contend with. Way better in Golden Valley Az. You have no views. And we have some places that have water in the road and some electricity. Lots of those. And we have some paved roads. Very nice.
Lived there for 2 decades if one buys up here try to find property on a county maintained road saw many people come and go it's not for everyone
Camp up.there first then.make the decision to buy
GOOD JOB
So you brushed over something real quick. So you said in the beginning you can do what you want on the land. Yet near the end you stated if the living area was around 200 sqf you have to buy a permit every 120 days? Thats buying a permit 3 times a year…to live on property you paid for. Did I hear that correctly? That doesn’t sound like being able to do what you want. I am currently living in a county with similar restrictions. I understand paying yearly property taxes. I don’t understand how state officials snuck a law in telling people they need to buy permits to live on property they paid for.
I think the reason is because they dont want a thousand 2 acre sites with one trailer parked on it year around. It's not good for future development. So usually you have to live there showing progress towards a permanent structure in increments. But each county in az is probably a little different. Just for the record tho I'm all for being able to just purchase land and park a trailer on it period.
Did I hear that correctly where you buy the land even if you're living in a small trailer?You have to pay monthly fees?
Retired dirt slinger here. Water availability is crucial. Restrictions?
@@russelhough8609 water haul services available. Some restrictions on water wells. I suggest the Coconino county website
No well? No water aquifer?
No. Everyone has a 1,000 gallon water cistern and water is delivered for $.03 a gallon.
@@flagstaffazliving 😱
I would say, no, nope, nada, never! Too restrictive!
Other places in az are good,just remember weather in summer no matter where you are in az can get hot,and in the winter gets cold . And do your homework on the area as alot of people who want too live this way do it for a reason and not just cause of hoa or ccr. Be cautious
Do you have bigger acreage pieces
With trees. I'm in the market.
Let me look and see what I can find.

@@flagstaffazliving The whole point of williams area lots is a) cooler b) not too far from a sizeable town- Williams- not dozens of miles out. This is why this property is a) hot b) far from any real town, c) a good price (and there is no water). Thanks VERY MUCH for this overall video and discussion!
Great deal!
Telling people NOT TO MOVE smwhere is a waste of time WE R ALL SHIFTing rn
This is what I want!
If you are trying to sell these plots, you just turned a lot of people off from that idea.
What are the “common pitfalls to avoid” ? Like buy in Arizona?
Can you drill a well?
@@russberg900 no, I don’t think so. Check coconino county website to confirm.
No. I believe it is water haul only.
And what are the common pitfalls?
18 grand is a bit much . I sold 5 acres in northern Idaho for only 15 grand it had trees and a spring on it.
Ho maintains the roads?
The landowners. It’s off-grid that’s why it’s cheap.
You do
Be careful buy only on a county maintained road the frontage road on 64 is like tank trap
My stepbrothers mother not mine bought a lot out there 30 years ago still no building out there you know why it was a real estate ripoff like like they do in Florida years ago
I love this my kind of place
Is there internet service in the area?
Yes
Can you put a manufactured home in that area? Williams Az?
Yes
is there water underneath 100-300 feet?
@@maximusmeridius3253 I think you can only get water hauling in this area. No drilling for wells.
No !! most people don't realize how high up Arizona is.. average elevation is 4100 ft. I've called you got to dig at least a thousand feet up to 1200 maybe 1500 ft.. it's about a hundred thousand dollars to dig a well. you have to bring in water if someone willing
From my research, the only couple lucky wells NORTH of Williams exceeded 2,000 feet.
18,000 an acre for undeveloped land is crazy
It looks gorgeous!
It’s a very pretty area. There aren’t tall pine trees but on some of the plots of land, you have a great view of the mountains.
Nice place to visit…
APS electric means a no go.
I heard of this, why is APS a no go?
@@MindFusion-ij1xl I think APS is more expensive them SRP. But now a days I would imagine everything in AZ is expensive.
What is the elevation in that area?
6,000 ft
its crazy if you own land you have to buy a permit to camp on it🤷. wtf🤷🤷
Vernon AZ and just outside of Show Low has low priced land as well
Show low is special, bigger than I expected, and fun. And Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, for some indication.
No water !!!
No you would have to look into getting a water well...Or have your water Hauled in to you 😁👍
Aussia and tribe could be your noisy neighbors
Sounds fun!
Need water
I seen 2.5 acre land for $7000.00 i rather be off grade
Over pricing
Own the land and it still requires a camping permit 😩😵💫
boy you are really selling me that you are terrified out there and you want to get back in your little bmw and run away! nice sales pitch lol
Ha! Thx!! Not my cup of tea! But a lot of people are interested in off grid living
Can someone do payments
If you get a loan from the bank. Or I can look for sellers who are willing to finance.
Most land sales are strictly cash, I've been trying to find land. I looked in new Mexico and they won't allow me to live without power or water, says it's unsafe. Well due to inflation on literally everything, I'm now living in my van. I guess they assume this is safe
Hello! @Terribassalay7665 if your interested My husband have 10acre s an willing to take half down an rest on payments. .he will work with you an no bank involved we have land deed in hand.
@laviniacontraro4705 Hello! My Husband have 10Acres for sale with Deed in hand...if your interested let Me know...
@@laviniacontraro4705 Capitalism and Greed have gotten out of control today.
They call it inflation!!! It's just plain Greedy F**Ks.
No electricity. Solar power batteries dont last forever.
No chemtrails? That's maybe the only selling point needed.
Hi
How are you
Living in the middle of nowhere, can be ok, but it can get real I mean real boring.
Spring thaw makes the roads nearly impassable. We had to park our four-wheel drive Surburban and walk into our ranch in Howard Mesa Ranch. And when we left for work. we had to worry about the locals stealing our stuff. Most people who live there were collecting state or federal aid: po-folks.
You need to spin the camera faster, I didn't quite throw up....
Great idea! 😂
American greed for realtors to push up rates like this
I think its pronounce VIY-Yeah
Yup
Yes I won't 100 Acers Ground .I see problom's I don't like city life City people I have Fedral Land Grant filed Must be A Structure on the property .I will find place not in the city round drug antics or drug Dealers .
Your comment is all but totally unintelligible.

I guess the californians and covid migrants ruined rural prices as well. 🤦♂️
It's a hard pass
