      Why would people build these then just up and abandon them??? I don't get it. Its obvious they wouldn't have water before they were built and I didn't see power poles. Really nice homes. So is this public land also???

    Living in arizona, and working here, I would say someone bought the land and wanted to start high dollar investment property. However, the market crashed several years ago and with the remoteness of this location, the properties would have been a hard sell. It is not uncommon for a couple houses to be built out here only to be model homes to sell plots to build more homes.

    There is a little known law that if you homestead a place for like 7 years and make improvements while you are there..the house automatically becomes yours legally. The house must be vacant of course to be able to get it that way, but these houses would be worth doing that..They are really nice homes if they were fixed back up.

    • @yahstino
      @yahstino 3 роки тому +7

      Sure, if you have a lot of money to throw around. I question if these places ever even had power. I don't think they would make actual good houses without some serious work which could take quite a bit of money, time and individual effort to complete. Especially considering you couldn't really hire anyone to work on the place for you. They don't even have toilets or bathtubs installed. Though if you're just looking for a roof over your head and total isolation they probably wouldn't be so bad as is... if of course you're not allergic to bees.

What you'd get out of unfinished places like this wouldn't be worth the amount of work you'd have to put in to make one comfortable or the legal loopholes you'd have to find just to make anything happen. Too much time effort and money for the kind of person who would even consider living here in the first place.

    The Mohave County approved the Silverado Ranch Master Planned Community in 2006. The developers had purchased 4800 acres of land outside Kingman AZ. The community called for more than 12,000 homes, an 18 hole golf course, with more than 1600 acres of commercial development and schools. The project was scratched in 2008 due to the US Housing crash, soon after plans for a 1 billion dollar solar plant was approved by the county. Unfortunately, the developer never filed an application with the Arizona Corporate Commision, and the plant was never built.

    If this place is what I think it is, it was the Silverado master-planned community and the 200-megawatt Albiasa solar plant both slated to be built on the property.
    The project was approved in 2006. It would have covered more than 4.8K acres of land on both sides of U.S. 93 near where it intersects with Interstate 40 east of Kingman, AZ. Plans called for more than 12,000 apartments & homes, a golf course and more than 1,600 acres of commercial development, schools, utilities and a clubhouse.
    When the 2008 housing market crash stalled any further development of Silverado, the developers wanted to rezone 1,400 acres of the Silverado community for the $1B Albiasa solar plant. After much controversy over the amount of groundwater the plant would use, the county finally approved the zoning for the plant in 2009.
    But Albiasa never applied to the Arizona Corporation Commission for approval and the project was never built.

    Bees ain't no joke. Honey bees will only sting you once and their stinger detaches from their body and they die, but wasps are worse. They can repeatedly sting you over and over again, and they can follow you up to a mile. They're very territorial. Im 6'6 280lbs and I'm not scared of anything but wasps. If I see one pissed off and coming at me I will run like a lil school girl lol! When I was a kid I almost went down like Thomas J. from the movie "My Girl", i was swarmed by wasps and had no where to go, i dont remember alot about it, but I know I got really sick. Ever since then I don't mess with bees or wasps.

    Unless there is some underground utilities that isn't visible in the videos, that is probably the reason for abandonment.
    Lots of developers bought up cheap tracts of Arizona land and built on it before they discovered the cost of bringing electrical power to the build sites. Maybe there wasn't any water nearby.
    Also, many places were developed and sold with false advertising in the '60's, '70's, and '80's. Like Meadview, AZ.
    None of those homes are so badly vandalized that they couldn't be fixed up. Most is just windows and some sheet rock. Still, if there is no water and/or no electricity, you might not want to move in unless you want to live off the grid. Solar panels will solve one of the problems.. 8^)

      A guy I worked with built a lot of homes in California pre-2006. He moved to Colorado in 2008 to find work (how I ended up meeting him). A lot of contractors built subdivisions in the middle of no-where because California was anticipating a continued and sustained housing boom, so they built these to keep up with demand. Of course, that was based on faulty speculation about the health of the housing markets.
      To make a long story short, they built thousands of homes out in the middle of no-where preparing for a housing boom and the expansion of cities, then in 2006 California housing market collapsed. In the subsequent years a lot of the subdivisions were squatted in by illegal migrants and people coming from Mexico. Rather than try to sell the homes and recoup any lost money, a lot of developers simply tore the subdivisions down.
      It's hard to say if this is an example, wherever it is, but it's likely a related situation. Markets everywhere began to collapse following California.

    I see that he has hidden the location by blacking out the road names, but I don't think it's a problem for me to just say that I recognize this. I used to drive a lot back and forth from Phoenix (where I live) to Las Vegas and these big houses are just west of the highway. You can easily see them as they stick out like a sore thumb. Everyone who makes this drive has seen these for many years now. I haven't made the drive for a long time now and the video is almost 4 years old as I write this. I wonder if they're still standing.
    Anyway, even back before the housing bust when these were being built, all I would ever say is "who in the world would buy such a house WAAYYYYY out here in the middle of nowhere?" It's not surprising to me that this went belly-up. Even if the collapse hadn't occurred, I would think the developers would have had a hard time selling these for what they wanted. For those of you reading this, the closest town of Kingman is still far away. I never understood this plan.

      Sounds like the results of capitalism. I suggest supporting the pro worker unions around your town! It’s better advice than:” why’d anybody complain about quality of life/lifestyle? Doesn’t everyone have the same abilities and resources to do whatever any American can for the American dream?” Short answer is, no. Very few people can ever actually achieve a house. Let alone two for business. @Michel Chapman , I feel like you, completely understand that same condition here. Stick up for the “little guy” living an honest life, it’s key. :)

      It could be Susan that the "bee situation' took over all of the houses when they were being built and perhaps they couldn't get rid of them, so the workers refused to come back and finish the houses. Therefore, since the houses weren't finished no one was able to move in. It's just a wild guess. I know quite a few guys that don't like to deal with bees.

      Because they were model homes for a building project that didn't get approved or went bankrupt. That's my guess. You'd probably be doing whoever owns the land a favor if you burnt those things to the ground.

    Too bad bad people seem to think they should destroy these places. They don't think about anyone but themselves. It's going to cost someone a lot of money to repair them. I wonder if the land owners had intended to expand into the desert. It is possible. I see it in So Cal a lot now(past Big Bear towards Vegas.i think more people need to see Flip or Flop and Fixer Upper. Then they'll see how much it costs to repair what they destroyed. Thousands of dollars.

    I'm a custom home builder here in AZ and heard about this neighborhood. Think it's called Silverado or something like that, guess the builder was developing this neighborhood right as the recession hit back in 07 or 08. Builder went bankrupt in the middle of the process and that's how these custom homes were abandoned.

      That's exactly what I was thinking; a property in development when the crash struck, and suddenly there was no money, so they just abandoned it. All kinds of places like that here in metro Atlanta after the crash, but it's finally starting to show signs of new development (fall of '19). Still WAY too many abandoned, trashed places though -- why don't they knock the damn things down? Total eyesores!
