The 5 Greatest Secrets of Living Off Grid
Some families on large parcels of land in Northen Arizona live in year-round, solar-powered homes (site-built, modular, or mobile) with productive home gardens. Beautiful unique properties for any of these purposes are available between Kingman and Ash Fork near I-40.
The 5 Greatest Secrets of Living Off Grid Secret #1 = Solar systems to run a small homestead are about $13000 to install an adequate 1 KW. After your 30% tax credit as a tax refund, that $9000 investment will pay for itself in a few years.
Secret #2 = Property owners associations' fees are low and usually only pay for road maintenance -- about $5 per acre per year, making the yearly fee very affordable. Some owners have established small ranchettes on parcels of this land complete with horses and cattle.
Secret #3 = Start small and buy the land and then use your property as a hunting camp, camping site, center for hiking and ATV fun, and/or a central point for exploring the area's abundant national and state parks until you get your homesite set up.
