Wind blows a lot , winter is cold, no water. I remember when it was a hundred dollar's an acre, they couldn't give it away!

18 grand for 1 acre! Ain't no way. I bought 5 acres in rural Texas for $2,000 and it has power lines.

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.

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.

18k for 1acre is about the worst deal possible. Williams area has a better climate

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.

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.

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.

Read all of the comments for a glimpse of truth.

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.

Awesome. You should do more of these vids. I’ve driven by this area for years. Should have bought years ago. New sub.

Thanks for video 😊

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

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.

Nice informative video. I spent the last 2 summers in Williams.

Great deal!

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.

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.

Would love to see more of those cheaper plots.

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 !!

Beautiful AZ with BLUE SKY.

This is what I want!

I love this my kind of place

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.

I wonder what trees can be planted there and if they have a fast grow time something to look at

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

Very nice. I will be in touch. You look like a very honest person. Thanks very much for sharing your Amazing Adventure in life.

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…

Nice place to visit…

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.

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

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

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

For reference, I have a FQ2514 toy hauler 8x27.5 on the inside, that's 220sqft.

Retired dirt slinger here. Water availability is crucial. Restrictions?

Can you put a manufactured home in that area? Williams Az?

Just saw your KZfaq, are you able to drill for a well? What was the 10,000 for electricity?

It looks gorgeous!

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.😊

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

is there water underneath 100-300 feet?

Do you have bigger acreage pieces With trees. I'm in the market.

Can you drill a well?

Never rely on realtors for info on what you can do on land. Check with the county.

No well? No water aquifer?

Ho maintains the roads?

Vernon AZ and just outside of Show Low has low priced land as well

No water !!!

Need water

Is there internet service in the area?

What is the elevation in that area?

Aussia and tribe could be your noisy neighbors

No electricity. Solar power batteries dont last forever.

Hi

Can someone do payments

I seen 2.5 acre land for $7000.00 i rather be off grade

Our friends are all swingers and we want to develop a sort of new roman empire where we can indulge in debauchery. Do you think that would be ok?

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....

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 .

people are getting hose on small parcels of junk land. lmao.

Don’t move to Arizona it’s full with many people from different states already.

Geez, just blocking this idiocy !!

You people moving here are trashing it. People move here and leave all their crap when they find out it sucks. Dont promote this crap.

I think its pronounce VIY-Yeah

Texas Sucks lmao

The rat capital of Arizona!

Flipper! Con artists, worst place to live in AZ

Mice - no additional fees.

Not there!🤣
