Yay! Congratulations on this new journey in your life! We are doing the same ... going to settle in NE AZ. Maybe we'll be neighbors, or at least connect so that we can share ideas and encouragement!
I am looking at land in Northern Arizona off of I-40 to the East and West of flagstaff. Thanks for this video. Gives me an idea of the flora and ground of the area.
A Big Hello to you both, And congratualations!!! We purchased a parcel of land south of Concho,AZ. Concho Lakeland area. We did not leave pennslyvania yet, But we are packing now. we want to leave after the new year, weather permitting? We need the peace and quiet. All the Best to you both, We may meet up in the future. Be safe 👍
I just bought a little over an acre of land in Arizona myself. It’s near flagstaff. I’m going to be doing a homestead and off grid hopefully to. Both always been my dream so yeah.
It didn’t work so good for us. We had Verizon and that was really bad in our area but then we got AT&T and that worked better. Both still spotty. The best thing for Internet is Starlink. But that’s just us in our specific location.
Looks like you all are east of Snowflake, in between Snowflake and Concho. My grandparents have 80 acres out there and been out there since the early 80’s.
Good question. I’ve meet the one building inspector in St. John. He has a lot of territory to cover. He visits my neighbors cause they are building. We are hoping to get back in March. Life stuff is getting in the way. Wind season in March and April. Mostly April according to our neighbors who have been living on their land while they build. I was disappointed when I talked to the inspector. They have standard building code with options to go alternate but you have to show engineered drawings for shipping containers or Cob or Earth Ships. Must have septic. So stupid.
This video reminds me of the 5 acre parcel down in Wilcox that saw. I could make it work.. but thinking the town doesn't have all the local resources I like. So.. Did you go through a website or a realtor to find this place..?
I think the answer is yes to both, composting toilets (even a set up that includes 30 gallon trash barrels buried in the ground) are allowed and shower and laundry grey water can go to irrigation BUT dishwashing water isn't approved for either system and you need an approved water treatment system for both a permanent RV permit and a building permit and Arizona legislature just shot down a bill about alternative wastewater treatment. This is all just me doing internet research, my info can be outdated, it can be wrong, and it definitely doesn't match real life for some people currently living there.
Yay ! There's a Thunder/Lightning Storm coming... Lets get the longest Metal Pipe that we can to make a Lightning Rod ! lol Nice Piece of Land... I just bought a 41 acre lot today in the same general area. Gonna head down for a few weeks at the end of May. *FJB !*
Hi @victoriap.6432... I just finished the paperwork and payment on a 41 acre lot in St. Johns/ Apache County today.. Gonna head down in about 3 weeks to hang out and get a feel for my new land ! *FJB !*
Hello, could you please tell me what you plan to do for water, sewer and I assume solar? thank you I really want to buy but it is so difficult to get definitive answers on zoning etc. I really hope you can reply to this. Cant wait to see your progress
We plan on doing rain water collecting, traditional septic, and Solar. We are waiting on the septic plans and the Apache Counties’ reply. We might be too close to the flood plain. Will have to see. Then we may have to seek alternative forms of septic.
He says its in Apache County. I lived in Navajo County for 12 years and worked in Apache Cty. a lot during those years. Lots of good land for sale up there [see Lands of America], but DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Look at how water drains off the land [use satellite view tool on Google Maps] and buy accordingly. The wind up there NEVER ENDS, so buy accordingly. Find a low spot for your house. The closer you get to the mountains, the more pinion juniper you get. Almost anything goes in terms of what you can build, but do contact County P&Z in St. Johns to be sure. Navajo County is larger, so P&Z in Holbrook will be a bit more difficult. Regarding a well, contact a drilling service. I'm pretty sure one can be found in Snowflake, and anoother in St. Johns. They will advise you about how to get a permit. The good news is the "C" aquifer extends under the country East of Snowflake. Lots of water. I wish you good luck! The quality of land you get will depend on how much work you put into finding it. I have friends that live on 20 acres East of Snowflake. They found land with a shallow depression that shields their house from the wind. Their water table is shallow and they have lots of pinion juniper on their land. It is a lovely place, and only 15 minutes from Snowflake.

@@tubesurfer4331 Let Chute come in my yard and growl at me and both of us may meet John.😉 Dog and animal owners must take responsibility for their animals or face the consequences. The only alternative you truly have is to buy a really BIG spread and let your dog run where he wants, within the bounds of your property. Otherwise you must be ready to face the consequences. That's just how life works...
@@forsbergmicah are you closer to the show low area? How is that looking? If i built a 20x40 house would there be enough supplies or will i be waiting for a couple weeks? Sorry for all the questions, i just want to be ready before i make the leap lol thank you
@ÜᗷEᖇᗰEᑎᔕᑕᕼ There's no supplier inside St Johns. But there's HD and Lowes in ShowLow, Woodland in Springerville, and a local sawmill serving the area that sells pallet/seconds etc
That is an absolute beautiful spot. Good views and plant variety.
Got me 13 acres on the way to peach springs...just moved up here this week i love it
wonderful place lots of fire wood. its the American dream. wishing you guys the beat.
wishing them WHAT.. haha..

Thanks so much
A Big Hello to you both, And congratualations!!!

We did not leave pennslyvania yet, But we are packing now.
we want to leave after the new year, weather permitting?
We need the peace and quiet.
All the Best to you both, We may meet up in the future.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
Nice spot!! We are neighbors. Concho is super cool.
Lots of really good people up there.
Enjoyed the video very much. First time here and you have a very nice piece of land.
I just bought a little over an acre of land in Arizona myself. It’s near flagstaff. I’m going to be doing a homestead and off grid hopefully to. Both always been my dream so yeah.
Nice looking area for sure!!
It sure is beautiful up there isn't it are you near chambers in Apache county?
Plenty of good firewood!
I am moving to an acreage out in NE Az and wondering more about your weBoost set up. I might need something similar. Thanks
It didn’t work so good for us. We had Verizon and that was really bad in our area but then we got AT&T and that worked better. Both still spotty. The best thing for Internet is Starlink. But that’s just us in our specific location.
If you folks are anywhere near Seligman... Some of us UA-camrs are "Doinng Lunch" once a month there!
Thanks so much for the invite. We aren’t there now. Back in MN
Concho to Seligman is a long haul for lunch😢 Happens I have land in Seligman I am selling and am shopping in Concho.
The little cactus is a Mamillaria, will stay small.
You want to make a drag to go behind your car or truck to help clear up your road or flat spots
Cool😊
Amazing , it’s ARIZONA ?
Looks like you all are east of Snowflake, in between Snowflake and Concho. My grandparents have 80 acres out there and been out there since the early 80’s.
We are finally moving. Will be coming out with more videos in September
Are you located in the "land of no restrictions" or is big brother gonna be looking over your shoulder?

Realtor in AZ who does a lot of land sales. A friend of a friend
@@forsbergmicah ok.. Do you recommend this person..?
@@forsbergmicah If your happy with that person.. Would you mind sharing that info..?
Water first.
How much You guys país for,40 acres ?
Thanks,Good luck.
I think they go for about $1,000.00 per acre. 40 acres 40k. A lot of times the seller will finance, and you just pay a monthly fee.
So are you allowed to compost human waste or do you need septic in order to build?
I think the answer is yes to both, composting toilets (even a set up that includes 30 gallon trash barrels buried in the ground) are allowed and shower and laundry grey water can go to irrigation BUT dishwashing water isn't approved for either system and you need an approved water treatment system for both a permanent RV permit and a building permit and Arizona legislature just shot down a bill about alternative wastewater treatment.

Where is this? We purchased 40 acres in Saint johns a few weeks ago
We are your neighbors in Concho. The same county so the same building inspector covers the whole county.
@forsbergmicah how will you build your foundation?

To be honest I'd take Nevada over Arizona where you have much better water under ground.
No state tax and cheaper to live.
@@rem1762Excellent advice hopefully many will take it. Thanks!
Dear friends, how can I talk to you about living off grid in AZ?
Have you thought about using star link?
when you watch more videos you'll see that we are and it works well.
Dude sounds a bit dissapointted... nice looking land.
What part of Arizona
Near Show Low.

White Mountains. Concho
Did you go thru Landido for that property?
No. I found a realtor who lives in Phoenix who specializes in land sales.

Look between Snowflake, Conch and St John’s. Lots of 40 acre lots out there.
There has been a lot of drugs dropped out of airplanes in Apache county near witch wells for years now

Please don't let your dogs run free. There are other people here and they will take appropriate action. Boom bang pow! Adios doggy.
