Incredible off grid home for sale - We built our beautiful house on the side of a mountain in New Mexico (14.5 acres remaining) as our "forever home," completed in 2013.  Unfortunately, due to unforeseen health issues, we must move to a lower elevation.  And we just dropped the price.

This isn't your rough, rustic cabin in the woods.  We built it to take advantage of the spectacular 360 degree million dollar views of the mountain and valley, green building methodologies such as super insulated walls, passive solar design, fully off grid solar electric system with panels and batteries, hydronic in floor radiant heating, and Energy Star appliances.  The house is appointed with high end finishes, Pella windows, rainwater collection tanks, fire suppression system (which reduces home insurance rates significantly), 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 decks, over-sized 2.5 car garage, a basement work shop or additional living space, and a beautiful attached greenhouse.  You wouldn't suspect it is off-grid unless you noticed the battery room, the 21 solar panels, or the lack of power poles to the property.  Perfect for those that want to eliminate their electric and water bills, without giving up comfort and modern amenities.  Truly the best of all possible worlds.  If you feel you HAVE to be grid tied, the nearest transformer is only a bit over 1/4 mile away, however we have never felt the need.

And if you are looking for nature and solitude away from the hustle and bustle, but still reasonably close to civilization, you need to check this place out.  Literally at the end of the road, the nearest neighbor is over 1/4 mile away to the East.  To the North and West there are no houses, and won't be due to slope building restrictions, and to the South is a arroyo that will prevent home construction unless someone is willing to spend an absurd amount of money for a bridge.  The property is covered with undisturbed pinon pine/juniper forest with mule deer, birds, and all other manner of native wildlife.  To top it off, there is a bench about 30 yards behind the house where you can sit, truly disconnect from the outside world, and be at one with nature.

Edgewood has all the essentials (grocery, Walmart, gas stations, pharmacy, veterinarians, Harbor Freight, feed stores, physicians, dentist, schools, etc.) and is less than 8 miles South on a nice paved road, Albuquerque is a 40 minute drive, and Santa Fe is about an hour.

If you want to learn more, please check out the listing on Zillow for the house and 14.5 acres (https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/30-Skyview-Ln-Edgewood-NM-87015/126287435_zpid/)  and/or contact Diane Stearley, Mountain View Properties, 505-281-3755, or other local East Mountain realtor for a viewing.

I see a lot of people here looking at raw land who get excited when the seller says "Well Permit on file!" or "Water is available!"

Just a heads up from someone who looks at this data daily: A permit doesn't mean water. It just means you paid the county $100 to drill a hole.

I just ran a check for a parcel in Colorado. The permit looked fine, but when I pulled the actual Driller's Construction Logs for the neighbors, they were all drilling 360+ feet deep through sandstone to hit the aquifer.

The Lesson: Before you buy, go to your state's DWR (Division of Water Resources) Map Viewer. Turn on the "Constructed Wells" layer (not just "Applications") and click on the dots next door.

• Permit = Permission to drill.
• Log = Proof of water (and how deep/expensive it is).

Don't buy blind. If anyone is looking at a specific parcel and doesn't know how to navigate the GIS maps, drop a comment or DM me and I can try to help you pull the logs.

Want to own a slice of Oklahoma paradise? This 2.66 Ridgeline parcel in the Illinois River Ranch may be the perfect spot! Surrounded by oaks, your closest neighbors are the birds and squirrels three seasons out of the year! Currently I use this as an escape from the city and occasionally an Airbnb, enjoying the peace and quiet of being in the forest from my own deck or the cabin! The 8x12 cabin has been finished as a bedroom currently with a twin mattress and a futon, powered by battery pack or through a 2500 watt generator (used for the window A/C or space heater). The enclosed generator shed and buried extension cord allow power the cabin in all types of weather. The outhouse is used in a "carryout" fashion, and water is hauled to the property currently for the outdoor shower. The property has a lot of mature timber, and the sloping area near the cabin would make an excellent earth ship house site. If you want to build, power is just feet away from the property line, or you can use solar and generators like I do. Contact me if you'd like listing details or photos

I've been reading this sub and because I'd eventually like to own some rural land for an off-grid cabin.

One thing I've noticed is that YouTube makes everything look pretty straightforward, but the people here who've actually done it always mention problems that never get talked about.

If you could go back before buying your land, what's one thing you'd spend a lot more time researching?

Not the obvious stuff like solar panels or batteries—I mean the thing that actually caught you off guard after you owned the property.

I'm curious what the biggest lessons have been for people who've already gone through the process.
