How do I get an address?

You can request that the county assign an address once the deed is in your name. You will give a copy of your deed to the Apache County Engineering Department. They will give you an application to fill out - it is completely free. Once the address is assigned, you can go to the local post office and request a free P.O. Box.

Can I do rain catchment?

Yes, it's allowed! The rainy season here is usually July-September. The rest of the year is pretty dry, so you'll need a place to store rain water that you catch.

What does a septic cost?

It depends on the size of the system: If you have only one bathroom, then the septic system will be smaller than if you have 4 bathrooms. It can range anywhere from $7,000-$15,000.

Do you offer financing?

We don't offer owner financing, but you can still finance it on your own by using a credit card (you can use multiple cards, to spread the amount out over several cards), or a personal loan from your bank.

FAQ

Cheapest option: Set up a tote or a cistern, and haul water to the property. Totes: You can find 275 gallon totes (called IBC totes) for a few hundred dollars on Facebook Marketplace or Tractor Supply. There is a community well in Springerville, AZ which allows you to fill 1,000 for $15. (Please contact them for current pricing.) You can find out more information on the town's website. Cisterns: You can buy a cistern of any size, but they are more expensive than totes. This is a good option if you want thousands of gallons instead of just a few hundred gallons. Second cheapest option: Water delivery. You can hire someone local to fill up totes/cisterns and bring it to your property for you. There are also water delivery companies that can bring larger amounts of water but usually cost a lot more especially if they aren't close by. Most expensive, but most convenient: Drilling a well. There is water available in the area, it's just a matter of drilling deep enough to reach it. Drillers charge by the foot, so it gets very expensive in desert climates where they have to drill deeper. It could be anywhere from $30,000-$50,000 or more.

Grid Power (power lines): Electric companies charge based on where the existing power lines are, and how far they have to run the lines to connect them to your property. The closer the lines, the cheaper it will be. We can't give you an exact quote, but the local power company will be able to help with that. In this county, Navopache Electric Cooperative is the electric provider for most of the area. If power is not close by, we highly recommend you consider solar power - it will probably be a much cheaper option, and you can have someone install it for you if you're not sure how to install it yourself. Solar Power: White Mountains Solar is in Show Low, Arizona. They offer entire solar system kits that are pre-built, that you can assemble yourself. They can also tell you how much power you need based on what you're planning to do. (At the time of writing this, they also offer no-credit-check financing on their Solar Systems, so make sure to ask them about that.)

No! A property survey is not required by law, but there are certain times when it can be very useful. For example, if you would like to put up a fence along the border of your property, we recommend that you hire a surveyor first to make sure you're not encroaching on the neighbor's property. A surveyor also puts stakes at all of the corners, which can be helpful for visualizing the boundary. Our GPS coordinates are very accurate, within a few feet.

Yes! We (the owners) lived off grid ourselves for many years, and our favorite YouTube channels are My Little Homestead and Our Self-Reliant Life. Additionally, Geoff Lawton is an excellent wealth of knowledge for learning how to grow food in desert climates, and The Weedy Garden has amazing tips and tricks and practical advice. For heat, we recommend diesel heaters, propane, or wood stove (electric heaters take up too much power and are difficult to run off of solar power.) To stay cool, we recommend Swamp Coolers (evaporative coolers) because they take much less electricity than ACs and you don't need as much solar to run them. Shade Cloth is also a great option, because in the desert shade is almost as good as AC because there's very little humidity and the heat is really just from the sun itself, not the air.
