Imagine having privacy, incredible views, elbow room, electricity available and fairly quick access to local amenities for under $50,000? At 4000 ft., this elevated 5-acre parcel just east of Kingman AZ has it all.
With a spur running east to west provides the buyer with miles of 360 mountain views. Water haul is available as well as the opportunity to drill a well. Best yet no HOA/POA or CCRs to hamper one’s building dreams of either a site built home or manufactured home.
This truly is a vacant land parcel that can make your dreams come true.

vacant land: Making An Offer on Vacant Land? Please Remember…
- 05/21/26 09:14 AM
Real estate listing agents receive offers both verbal and written for vacant land. Sometimes buyers when making an offer fail to remember there are both positive and negative results.
Many will immediately understand the positive results such as satisfied sellers, ecstatic buyers and grateful professional real estate agents. Yet, the negative unintended results are often ignored.
For example, just yesterday I received a verbal “low ball” offer for a fully improved vacant land listing. This over 2 acre parcel had:
A 4-bedroom septic installed with concrete holding tank Fully fenced with horse fencing Underground electric RV hookups Custom lighted gate Additional truck gate … (6 comments)

vacant land: Yes You Are Important, But…
- 05/03/26 02:37 PM
Often we have real estate sellers or buyers who are in a hurry rather to list or buy. Here is my most recent example of what I call “Hurry Up, Wait and Hurry-Up Now!”
On April 14 of this year a potential vacant land listing client contacted me about listing a vacant land parcel. My standard of practice is to visit any parcel before I accept the listing. The seller agreed to meet me 4 days later to show me how to get to the property as the seller knew access was an issue. Due to some unexpected issues, the seller could … (10 comments)

vacant land: An Out of the Blue Call with a Unexpected Surprise
- 04/26/26 08:20 AM
Imagine my surprise when my phone rang and the caller ID showed a past seller’s name. This seller and her spouse had me looking for a house several years ago. I had previously sold two of their vacant land parcels. My last conversation with the husband was he had a medical issue. The clients went dark and knowing about the medical issue I did not “pester them.”
The husband came on the line and explained they bought a house from a friend without a agent. Now a couple of years later they want to sell the home and do some traveling. This … (10 comments)

vacant land: On the Road Again – Finding Property Corners Markers Matter
- 04/24/26 10:26 AM
With lots and I mean lots of vacant land here in Mohave County, finding the exact vacant land parcel as a buyer’s agent or as a brave buyer(s) who is willing to travel the dirt roads property corners matter. This particular nearly 10 acre off grid property located in White Hills, AZ on North Nighthawk Rd had the NE property corner marker clearly identified.
Frequently due to mother nature, other unknown reasons, the property corner markers are missing. This is why apps such as OnxHunt are quite valuable.
Just imagine seeking a vacant land parcel on a dirt road in an unfamiliar area … (3 comments)

vacant land: Being Directionally Challenged Is Common in Real Estate
- 04/23/26 11:09 AM
In rural areas, the general public aka as consumers, customers or clients are often directionally challenged. These individuals have a poor to actually no sense of direction. GPS is often their goal to navigational tool and often in rural areas GPS is in error.
Imagine receiving a call from a potential vacant land listing client who wants you to list a parcel. The directions all contain left, right, left, etc. Oh, yes and when you come to the next dirt road, no name given, turn left.
Not only is the general public directionally challenged so are many real estate agents. These agents also … (5 comments)

vacant land: On The Road Again Checking Out Vacant Land
- 04/17/26 01:07 PM
On a regular basis I receive requests to list vacant land here in Golden Valley AZ and the west side of Mohave County including Chloride, Dolan Springs, North Kingman (Stockton Hill Rd), White Hills and Yucca. Given many of these requests are from investors or family members who have inherited the property, I do not commit to listing the vacant land until I can physically travel to the property.
What this means is I print out the map including the right of way, identify the nearby parcel owners, employ the app onXHunt and attempt to determine the best physical access. And as … (5 comments)

vacant land: A Seller Shares His Appreciation About Selling a Difficult Property
- 04/09/26 01:00 PM
Sometimes real estate agents sell properties that have issues. Out here in Golden Valley, AZ washes, flood plains and road access are always issues facing sellers especially those wanting to sell vacant land.
This particular seller publicly shared his appreciation with my efforts:
"I recently worked with Leanne to sell a difficult piece of land with a challenging access road, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leanne's communication was always timely and clear. She promptly notified me of all offers and prepared counteroffers efficiently. Her advice throughout the process was invaluable. Leanne truly went the extra mile, taking excellent photos of … (5 comments)

vacant land: Sometimes All You Have Is Steak
- 04/09/26 11:56 AM
As much as we would like to sell the sizzle, some properties only provide steak. Examples might include vacant land, off grid parcels or properties that need a little to a lot of work.
Writing up public remarks for vacant land to sell the sizzle continues to challenge me. How many times can one write panoramic mountain views?
When vacant land has property improvements such as wells, power, easy road access, makes the sizzle a little easier.
Yes, we may do our best to sell the sizzle but at the end of the day, still we just end up with steak.

vacant land: Being Old School Fits Me to a "T"
- 03/30/26 06:19 AM
With all the emphasis on technology including automated systems, my sense is the human connection is appearing to be ignored and eventually lost. This is why I believe being old school is a competitive advantage and fits me to a T.
This past weekend I drove 40 miles to meet a potential customer. Here in Mohave County, AZ driving 40 miles is nothing. I suggested scheduling a breakfast appointment at a restaurant near him in Bullhead City, AZ. Initially, we did talk on the phone and then via email and text. This particular buyer came from a local referral source.
When we sat … (8 comments)

vacant land: Vacant Land Buyers, Please Be Aware!
- 03/28/26 12:26 PM
Probably today more than ever before vacant land buyers need to be aware when speaking with or reaching out to vacant land sellers. Often these sellers are not the actual sellers but posing as the sellers.
Just this past week, I received a call from a young couple looking for vacant land here in Golden Valley AZ. They had traveled down from Idaho and were to meet a “seller” at a property to sign a contract; then go to the title company to pay the seller his full price; and have the deed recorded. Unfortunately, the seller was a no show because … (5 comments)

vacant land: Buyers for Vacant Land-Improvements Cost Both Time and Money
- 03/24/26 08:25 AM
For buyers thinking of purchasing vacant land, there are basically three options:
Option #1: Purchase unimproved vacant land meaning no improvements and no access to utilities such as on grid power.
Option #2: Purchase improved vacant land with limited improvements such as access to on grid power.
Option #3: Purchase improved vacant land with improvements such as access to power, fencing, permitted septic, power pole with meter, buried utilities, gates, grading of the vacant parcel, water availability including water meter, well, etc.
So what are the costs both in time and money for improving vacant land?
Here in Golden Valley, AZ permitted septic systems range from $8,000 … (2 comments)

vacant land: Professional Real Estate Agents Will Read the Title Commitment
- 03/21/26 07:56 AM
Yesterday late afternoon I received a Title Commitment for a piece of vacant land here in Golden Valley, AZ or what I call a Preliminary Title Report. Within this report are embedded links that can be saved as PDF’s and then read. These links refer to a variety of documents such as recorded deeds, plat surveys, judgements (liens), etc.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered three errors:
Purchase price for the vacant land parcel was in error by several thousand dollars. Commission instructions were in error due to the purchase price being in error. The escrow agent failed to read all of … (13 comments)

vacant land: Wow, Septic, Power and Fencing Oh My!
- 03/19/26 08:12 AM
At first impression, the gate says it all about this vacant land listing. This seller has invested the time, effort and dollars to improve this 2.2 acre lot with permitted installed septic system, underground utilities, RV plug ins, cleared and fenced with horse fencing. Being less than 2 miles from paved Shinarump (1.5 miles are County Maintained dirt roads), horse friendly and not having a HOA/POA to contend with only add to the desirability of this parcel. This vacant lot is ready for your mini-ranch, vacation retreat or Barndominium.

vacant land: Time to Take It Easy
- 03/05/26 08:52 AM
The other day on the radio I heard the Eagles hit song “Take it Easy.” Of course I was driving down a dirt road putting up for sale vacant land real estate signs and the first line of the song “Well I’m a-running down the road trying to loosen by load” truly resonated with me.
The load was not seven women on my mind, but rather two vacant land listings and visiting another two potential vacant land listings.
Then I heard “one say she’s a friend of mine.” How often do we hear from friends who make referrals or that out of the blue … (9 comments)

vacant land: What’s My Property Worth Begins with Data Integrity
- 03/03/26 06:34 AM
Often sellers begin with this simple question:
What’s my property worth?
For some property owners they may begin with clicking the keyboard and then scanning the various Internet real estate sites to secure the answer to this question. Unfortunately, these real estate “estimates” are often not accurate for a variety of reasons.
The foundation for the any and all answers to this question begins with these two words:
DATA INTEGRITY
To begin with, clarification of these two words is essential. The Oxford Online Dictionary states DATA is "facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.” When DATA is inaccurate, this makes any research from listings … (5 comments)

vacant land: Land Sellers Choose Your Rural Land Specialist Wisely
- 02/28/26 02:44 PM
Yesterday morning as I was out putting directional signs as well as signs on two vacant land listings, I drove by another forthcoming vacant land listing. The seller was there diligently working on getting his two parcels ready to be listed.
This seller is an existing client who I sold a 40 acre tract. These two parcels have power, permitted septic, fencing, RV plugs and custom entry gates. The reason I drove by was in the neighborhood and curious if he had received the custom gates. He shared he drove to CA to pick the gates as he couldn’t wait for … (7 comments)

vacant land: What Real Estate Buyers Want. Ahh, if It Was Only That Simple
- 02/24/26 06:18 AM
When meeting buyers, professional real estate agents discuss what the buyers want. This discussion appears to be simple and forthright up front, however that is not usually the case.
Currently, I have a very nice, extremely well maintained residential 3 bedroom home for sale in Bullhead City. The first potential buyers really liked the home because the home checked off all of their expressed wants.
However, the husband decided he could not park his RV vehicle because of the gate and wall construction. Yet, the seller was able to do it numerous times. For this buyer, an extra wide RV gate with plenty … (2 comments)

vacant land: Vacant Land Buyers Relying on AI, Family or Friends Can Be Tricky
- 02/23/26 07:48 AM
Listing and selling vacant land, dirt, for the last nearly nine (9) years, I realize many vacant land buyers are clueless when it comes to buying “dirt.” This lack of knowledge can be tricky (even dangerous) and why relying on AI, Family or Friends cannot necessarily be the best purchasing strategy.
In many states when it comes to real estate, this phrase “due diligence” continues to appear. Vacant land Listing Agents will state something similar to this:
Buyer(s) to verify flood zone, lot lines, zoning and cost to connect utilities or any other information pertinent to the buyer.
If a buyer, especially an … (3 comments)

vacant land: Walking the High Desert Dirt Requires Vigilance
- 01/22/26 06:31 AM
Often rural land buyers walk for sale vacant land without real estate agents. These individuals see for sale signs out in the middle of nowhere or close to the middle of nowhere and decide to leave their vehicles to walk some of the “dirt.” Unfortunately, walking the high desert dirt requires vigilance.
For example, out here in NW AZ, Mohave County, Golden Valley, AZ there are numerous holes in the ground. These are homes to ground squirrels that look more like chipmunks from my perspective.
Often there are numerous holes within a short distance. These holes soften the surrounding dirt and one can … (9 comments)
