Hello,
We own a couple acres in Old Concho, Arizona. We noticed a lot of folks have purchased land in the past 10+ years in this area in the hopes of homesteading the property. Few have lasted but out of those some have done well. We're in the middle I guess since we're still building the infrastructure before committing to move on permanently. We've owned this property for about 8 years now but it's been slow building on it because we're Broke Ass Po' Folk. Most people out here are so I thought I'd make a post for those considering the area possibly benefitting from our experience in Concho. So far, we got the property surveyed. This isn't as easy as it sounds. Then got a perc test and passed. Then built a 5 strand barbed wire fence and gate around the perimeter of the property line. We also put in 3/4 minus red cinder for our driveway and graded homesite. We just got a water meter to the property line. We also have a 20ft shipping container. We have a van with 400 watts of solar on top that powers a charging station and a freezer. We are currently hauling water but I bought 750ft of 1in pvc water line. Trenching looks impossible so I guess I need someone with a backhoe. That's where we're at right now. Howdy!
