One more thing I failed to mention is the county here doesn’t bother you about anything. You are free to build or not build. You can live fully off-grid if you want and never see anyone. My 5-acre property is 3 miles to my closest neighbor and my new property is on the highway but is 1/2 mile to my neighbor. the closest town from my property is 15 miles. only 400 people live in the town. This is where you can get your food, water, and fuel. Pippi contact me on my email,I know I can help.
I have been living full time in my RV for 6 years. I bought 5 acres in west Texas about 8 years ago. It is desert land but very comfortable hot summers, cold winters and windy most of the time. With that said all of that is manageable. Summer may be hot but if you build some kind of shade is fine. Winter is cold at night but mostly warms up after the sun comes up. As far as the cost, that is why I am here. I paid about $1,500.00 for my 5 acres, it is too far to have power run but when I was staying on that land I used solar and augmented it with a generator. I have now bought another piece of land that has power right at the property line, I’m in the process of getting the power connected. You must have a septic tank installed and what is considered a permanent structure. Most of the people here either put their RV’s on blocks and remove the wheels or buy a small storage building, there are some that are like small cottages. If the power is not at the property or across the road you would have to have it run and that can get expensive. There is a company here that sells 20 acres for $18,800 with $0 down and $148.00 per month. This area is exactly 1/2 way between El Paso TX and Carlsbad, NM. Water is not a problem. I have a friend here that delivers water to you, 800 gal for $80.00 dollars. I also have a frontend loader that I do land clearing and driveways for people in the area for a small fee. If you want to contact me you have my email If you interested in this area you are welcome to come and stay on my property and see what you think.
