Arizona: Power. Access. Buildable 2.35 Acres In Golden Valley, Arizona.

The power company is not rural friendly. The good days are over. You must build at minimum a 400 square foot home or put up a fairly new mobile before they will even consider running power. That’s all after you put a septic system in first. You can’t build or put in a mobile till septic is in. That will cost just under $5000 with permit. Also for example 4 poles worth of power will cost over $7,000 once you have septic in and put in a main that’s been green tagged from the county. Telling clients to “check with the county” is misleading and causes many folks that buy these parcels grief. The county will only tell you what you need but will not give you cost other than permit fees. The local power company (unisource)is very hard to work with. They’re in bed with the good ole boys in the corrupt county of Mohave. If you build your own home here the permits and engineering will cost almost 4K alone. You can’t live off grid here anymore unless it’s a weekend or short time retreat location in an rv. Otherwise you must have utilities put in but they have a catch to that. You can put the septic in but can’t get power even though the septic is in unless you build or put a mobile home on it. Power poles on the main road or near your land your looking at can be misleading as well. Just because you see poles near by doesn’t mean you can get easy power. Many of the runs you can not cross roads or some easements. Most land in the areas is also is water haul or you need a well. More homes in Golden Valley haul their own water than have utility water. Holding land for 500 for only 48 hours is shady. It will take an interested party longer than that to get the figures and availability of utilities from the county and utility company. The power company will not give quotes over the phone till they send out a person to physically look at it. They will not go off of just the plot map.

You are right . This guy just wants to sell land. Also you have to have a transformer on the power poll . Depends what County you're in you also must have a power poll on your property they will run 75 feet of wire to your pull for free the poll is around $200

Our focus is on raw vacant land mostly for off-grid type of buyers. Occasionally, we will have lots with power nearby. Of course, there will be cost to bring in utilities and other additional costs to build. The more build ready the lot the more expensive it will be.

[@windygorge1]

nothing shady about what he is doing. this guy sells raw land. buy cheap and sell cheap. pass the savings on to the buyer cash or with options. its up to the buyer to do due diligence before even pressing purchase button or contacting the seller. its in your hands to figure it out and seller just tries to help with the basics.

So they won't run electricity to your lot, even if it's already at the street, if you only have an RV? They require a 400sqft+ mobile home to be on the land?

[@Killuminatiforlyfe]

What if you dont want power. Does the septic have to be in before i start building a small cabin?

[@Killuminatiforlyfe]

This is your property?
