The Property
1.00 acre in the Mead-O-Rama Unit 4 subdivision (Block C, Lot 48), White Hills area of Mohave County, Arizona. Apn: 336-10-148. The terrain is sloped high Mojave Desert at approximately 2,720 feet elevation - open desert dotted with Joshua trees, yuccas, and native creosote, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the Grand Wash Cliffs. This is classic Gold Basin country: the broad alluvial fans and washes of this district have drawn prospectors and rock hounds for over a century, and the area remains one of Arizona's best-known spots for recreational gold panning and mineral collecting.
Zoned Residential Recreation (Rr), the parcel supports a future home, a manufactured home meeting HUD standards (post-1976, licensed install, HUD plate, skirting), or a recreational camp setup. RV camping is permitted up to two weeks at a time, not to exceed 30 days per calendar year; a Temporary Residence Permit (renewable annually, requires septic) is available for longer stays. Tent camping is not permitted per subdivision rules. Buyers should review all applicable Mohave County zoning and subdivision regulations before use.
Access Note: The parcel is reached by a county dirt-road right-of-way that is not fully perfected, across sloped terrain with desert washes along the route. A high-clearance vehicle or 4x4 is strongly recommended - that's a feature for the right buyer and part of what keeps this Gold Basin acre affordable and private. Plan accordingly for site visits.

Why Buy Here
Very few affordable desert parcels put you 12 miles from a Lake Mead boat launch and standing in a historic gold-mining district at the same time. The Gold Basin area of the White Hills has drawn prospectors, rock hounds, and adventurers for generations, and the surrounding BLM land offers virtually unlimited OHV and exploration terrain. At roughly 2,720 feet, this is open, big-view Mojave Desert with classic Joshua tree and yucca cover and some of the darkest night skies in the state.
Residential Recreation zoning keeps your options wide open - a weekend gold-and-ATV camp, a future manufactured home, an off-grid retreat, or a long-term land hold while the Lake Mead corridor keeps drawing buyers priced out of Las Vegas and Southern California. No HOA means no monthly fees and no approval process. With annual taxes around $19 and owner financing at 0% interest from just $349 down - no credit check, no bank - the barrier to owning a piece of Arizona gold country has never been lower.
