— Why Own and/or Live Here?

As stated elsewhere, it can be very inexpensive to own here. Explore further and you will see it is possible to acquire a 1/2 acre building site starting at $10,000. What’s the catch? Well, if you want to do more than have a picnic on your parcel, you will need to make improvements. While the properties are basically flat and easily accessed off improved roads, you will need a well, a septic system, grid or solar power, permits, etc. You can buy land raw and do-it-yourself, or purchase with infrastructure in place.

As is repeated numerous times on this site, the inexpensive availability of abundant, high quality water plus sunshine cannot be overestimated!
