Your Grand Canyon West Gateway Acre
27386 N Driftwood Dr : Meadview, AZ 86444
Mohave County, Arizona
Land Description
One hour from your land to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This 1.25-Acre parcel sits on the Grapevine Mesa in northwestern Arizona, just five miles from the Diamond Bar Road turnoff - making it one of the closest private parcels you'll find to Grand Canyon West, 25 road miles away. Behind you, Lake Mead's South Cove boat launch is a 40-minute drive. And unlike most raw desert land, this lot comes with real-world practicality: an assigned street address, a power line less than half a mile away, community water companies serving the area, and property taxes around $54 a year. No HOA. Owner financing from $449 down. No credit check.
The Property
1.25 acres in the Lake Mead City Unit No. 11 subdivision, Lot 249, Mohave County, Arizona. Apn: 336-06-249. The terrain is level to gently rolling high Mojave Desert at approximately 3,595 feet elevation - prime Joshua tree habitat with creosote, native grasses, and wide mountain views in every direction. The elevated mesa position means cooler summers than the lower desert, exceptional air quality, and famously dark night skies. Spring wildflower blooms (February-April) following wet winters are spectacular across this plateau.
This parcel stands out from typical raw desert land: it carries an assigned street address (27386 N Driftwood Dr), the nearest power distribution line is about 0.4 miles from the property line, and two community water companies serve the surrounding area. For buyers planning an off-grid retreat today with a future home or manufactured home down the road, that infrastructure proximity matters.

Access and Location
The property fronts N Driftwood Dr, a dirt subdivision road within the established Lake Mead City road network on the Grapevine Mesa. Pierce Ferry Road (Az-167), the paved highway serving the corridor, is approximately 5 miles away and connects south to Us-93 (27 miles at Dolan Springs) and north to Meadview (7 miles). The Diamond Bar Road junction - the paved route to Grand Canyon West - is about 5 miles south of the parcel. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended for the final approach on N Driftwood Dr.
From Las Vegas (~106 miles, ~2 hr 20 min): Us-93/I-11 south across the Hoover Dam bypass bridge, through Dolan Springs, then northeast on Pierce Ferry Road into the Grapevine Mesa corridor. From Kingman (~63 miles, ~1.5 hr): Us-93 north to Pierce Ferry Road, then northeast. Meadview's services - gas, groceries, lodging, dining, post office - are 7 miles north of the parcel.
This corridor is ideally positioned for buyers coming from Las Vegas, Henderson, Southern California, and the greater Phoenix metro seeking affordable Arizona land at the doorstep of Grand Canyon West and Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Utilities and Infrastructure
This is vacant raw land in a rural desert setting, but with better infrastructure proximity than most parcels in the region.
Electricity is available in the area - the nearest power distribution line is about 0.4 miles (roughly 2,300 feet) east of the property line. Extension to the lot will involve hookup costs. Contact Mohave Electric Co-Op at to confirm service availability and extension rates. Solar, wind, or generator power are excellent alternatives at this latitude.
Water is available through community providers in the area - Joshua Valley Water Company and Lake Mead City Community Co-op both serve this community. Buyers should confirm availability and connection requirements for this specific lot. Hauled water and storage tanks are also common in the area.
Sewer is not available - an on-site septic system is required for a residence. Contact Mohave County Environmental Health at for permitting information.
Natural gas is not available - propane is standard for this rural area.
Cell service is limited (At&T and Verizon carry signal in the area) - Starlink satellite internet is the most reliable broadband option for this location.
Trash service is by private hauling or the Mohave County transfer station near Dolan Springs.
Recreational Opportunities
The Grapevine Mesa corridor is a true outdoor recreation hub, and this property puts you at the center of it all:
- Grand Canyon West and the Skywalk - 25 road miles, about 1 hour via the paved Diamond Bar Road route
- Lake Mead National Recreation Area - South Cove boat launch 17 road miles north, offering boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and over 1,000 miles of shoreline

Why Buy Here
Very few private parcels anywhere put you one hour from the Grand Canyon Skywalk and forty minutes from a Lake Mead boat launch at the same time. This stretch of the Grapevine Mesa - at 3,500+ feet elevation with minimal light pollution, clean air, and Joshua tree forest in every direction - is the gateway corridor to Grand Canyon West, one of the most-visited attractions in the Southwest.
This particular lot adds practical advantages most desert parcels can't match: an assigned street address, power infrastructure under half a mile away, community water service in the area, level buildable terrain, and annual taxes of roughly $54. Whether you're an RV traveler, a recreational land buyer, a retiree, an off-grid homesteader, or a passive land investor, the carrying cost is negligible and the optionality is wide open.
The corridor continues to attract buyers priced out of Las Vegas and Southern California real estate markets. With owner financing available at 0% interest from just $449 down - no credit check, no bank - the barrier to entry has never been lower for owning a piece of the American Southwest.
