What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Completely "Off Grid" with an excellent Solar & Wind System.
The separate Storage Unit has Straw Bale insulation under the Roof.
Metal Building is low maintenance-no exterior paint upkeep (VOC Paint)
Although it is zoned as Agriculture/Residential , I do not know of any large scale commercial farms in the development or in the area. I only know of one fairly large organic orchard nearby but not in this development. The Santa Fe Ranch Development is very large; approximately the size of San Francisco, but with only about 2,000 land owners and approximately less than 500 of these parcels have had homes built on their land since the year 2000. Therefore, the pristine nature of pure nearly untouched desert nature still remains. Most land owners want to keep it this way and alternative energy efficient building is encouraged. Please do your due diligence to check everything here and see the area for yourself.Property Description
This is all READY for you to build your completely "Off Grid" DREAM HOME or RETREAT CENTER. Centrally located just 3 hrs from Las Vegas, NV, 4 hrs from Phoenix, AZ, 9 hrs from Albuquerque, NM and San Francisco, CA and 7 hrs from Los Angeles, CA. (we love the location !) There is a very efficient Solar and Wind Powered System and a Propane Back-Up Generator (which is rarely ever used). Solar & Wind System provides enough energy to live here comfortably, use power tools to work on projects, run a refrigerator or use any electrical appliances and washing machine, plus this system is used to pump water for the 220 volts well pump.
Large Metal Building 50' x 75' x 16' tall (Strong “Butler” I-Beams) with 2- 14' x 14' Drive Thru Roll Up Doors with Breezeway to additional Storage Building 45' x 12' x 9' tall with Straw Bale Insulation under the roof to keep it cooler and completely enclose for long term bug free storage.
Spacious and fabulous room for Tools, Supplies and Fabricating Art Sculptures, Collecting Cars or lay down a wooden floor in the Metal Building and begin your Yoga-Meditation-Seminar Retreat Center.
This is not a "home" per say, NO Bedrooms NO Kitchen (but plumbed and ready for it if you like)
No worries... there is an Outdoor Modern Toilet to Septic System.
Not only is this a Prime piece of Realty due to the most spectacular “foothills” view location (not to mention the neighbor Guest Ranch that just sold for over 1.2 mil. $$$ ) and the ability to enjoy an “outback” lifestyle yet be close enough to an easy drive to “world-class shopping” (think Channel, Prada, etc... less than 3 hrs away !) all within AT&T Cell Phone reach and with Satellite Internet...we think it is simply incredible !
A person could find some empty land in this area for less, but it will lack this supreme location and
after experiencing the hard work and effort it takes to go from completely empty rural “Outback” land to being comfortable to enjoy the space, we have to say that this is an IDEAL Set Up as it is now because now you can be comfortable and ENJOY building whatever else you like and/or just bring your Motorhome and enjoy a Giant Spaceous Workshop, Drip Water Greenhouse, Mini-Orchard and MORE...READ ON:
Imagine: awakening to the chirping of little birds flying everywhere then step outside, take a deep breath of fresh air and stretch out into wide open spaces. No distant traffic noise or landscaping blowers to disturb your relaxing morning as you sit down to enjoy the sunny ideal indoor-outdoor living climate (for 9 months out of the year) Do a little light exercise then pick some fruit from your mini-orchard and relax in your hammock. Where is everyone ? No one is around to disturb your peace as you melt into and become one with the earth landscape: Majestic mountains rise in the distance, watch the shadow of the clouds roll across the lush Desert Valley floor below (as this property sits in the foothills) and feel at home in the "Land before Time".
Feeling lonely...? ...not when surrounded by pure nature and just when you think you are the only person on earth you hear the laughter and a group of horses gallop by with people in cowboy hats trotting out from the closest neighboring Guest Ranch a half a mile away.
In the afternoon, take your UTVs or Horses out for ride on the thousands of acres of BLM land located right out the gate of your back yard. Climb the Mountain Trail just a few miles back and search for Gold in the many washes (desert river beds) and rock canyons and crevices. Return home to tinker around on various projects; build sculptures, work on cars, play music in the large 50' x 75' x 16' tall walls (with approx. 18' at center) Metal "Workshop" Building. Or if you have parked your Motorhome or SUV and Boat on Trailer inside the Metal Building, there is still plenty of room on both sides for workshop and activity space.
Just before dinner, walk to your screen enclosed Greenhouse to pick fresh sweet peas off the vines and gather Basil and other fresh organic veggies to go with your Solar Oven cooked feast. As the sun begins to set get out your camera to capture the endless variety of breathtaking color created in the big Arizona sky. No buildings to get in the way as you view in awe the spectacular sunsets and realize that this truly is a special place.
As the Sun begins to set and the Moon rises out of the distant Mountains, build a bon-fire and sit happily around with loved ones and keep cozy warm as you share your life stories, sing songs, study astronomy or just sit back to gaze at the zillions of stars in the starry starry night sky.
It is all here for you to experience.
Wide open spaces and tranquil living back to Earth in the "Outback of Arizona".
Bring your horses, goats and everyone you love to live a "Self-Sufficient" Dream.

This is a wonderful place for Artists, Writers, Workshop, Retreat Location, Ranchers, Organic Farmers, Preppies, Survivalists, Homesteaders or anyone who wants to “get away from it all” and experience how the Earth was before “Time”: Enjoy the sublime quietness/nothingness and unwind in the pristine near “virgin” Desert with sunny days and starry starry nights, clean air, fresh water yet all within Satellite Internet and Cellphone reach.Neighborhood Description
The neighborhood is ideal for remote living. You are far far away from the maddening crowd yet you feel comfortable knowing that you have a fully operating Guest Ranch (Dude Ranch/Horse Riding Ranch) just within birds eye view about 1/2 a mile away and two other friendly neighbors about 1/2 mile in the other direction who all look out for each other. The road to the place in not a through road and we and our one other neighbor are the only ones who ever drive on this section = peace & quiet !Market Area
We really enjoy this ideal location approx. 50 miles from the beautiful but busy tourist attracting small city; Lake Havasu that provides endless entertainment from International Boat Racing and Fishing Contests to Off Road Events and Firework displays. There are an abundance of restaurants, grocery stores even a Super Wal-Mart, for everything you need. And if you want a "Big City Fix" Las Vegas is only 2 1/2 hours drive. Yet, we are always happy to return to our beautiful quiet off grid nest.School District
We are not familiar with the local school district other than knowing that the elementary school is located in Yucca about 15 miles away. There is no bus service as far as we know.Community
There is an active community of Desert Loving people out here. If you are interested in getting involved with others, you can meet many of your distant neighbors at the Santa Fe Ranch Land Owners Association meetings. Some people have Music Events/Concerts in their homes and others share their insight into building with alternative methods like Straw Bale or living Off Grid on Solar & Wind and Organic Gardening. But most people move here to get away from it all and enjoy being on their own.Location of Home or Land
