Off-Grid Escape Near Grand Canyon
Lake Mead City Unit No 315 : Meadview, AZ 86444
Mohave County, Arizona
Land Description
If you've ever wanted to own a real piece of the Arizona desert without spending a fortune, this is about as easy as it gets. A full 1.25 acres of open, high Mojave desert near Meadview and Lake Mead - mountain views in every direction, the Grand Wash Cliffs on the horizon, native Joshua trees, and the Grand Canyon West Skywalk only about 20 miles up the road. Sitting around 3,450 feet, this parcel runs cooler than the low desert and enjoys some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in the state. For less than the cost of a weekend trip - as little as $100 down - you can own the land instead of just visiting it. No HOA, almost nothing in taxes, and simple owner financing make it one of the most affordable ways to plant a flag near two of the Southwest's biggest attractions.
Financing - Simple As It Gets
- Down payment: $100
- Monthly payment: $150/Month (monthly note service fee and property taxes added)
- Term: 36 months
- Interest: 0%
- Cash price: $4,599
- Credit check: None
- Bank required: No

The Property
A full 1.25-Acre lot in the Lake Mead City subdivision (Unit 31) near Meadview, Mohave County, Arizona. Apn: 338-08-315 (Lake Mead City Unit No 31 30 16, Lot 315). The terrain is open, gently sloped high Mojave desert at approximately 3,450 feet elevation, dotted with native Joshua trees, creosote, and yuccas, with wide mountain views and the Grand Wash Cliffs on the skyline. The elevated setting means cooler summers than the lower desert, exceptional air quality, and exceptionally dark night skies. Zoned Residential Estate, the parcel supports a future single-family home, a manufactured or mobile home meeting HUD standards (post-1976, licensed installer, verifiable HUD plate, state-approved skirting within 90 days), or an off-grid recreational setup. RV use is permitted up to two weeks at a time, not to exceed 30 days per calendar year; a Temporary Residence Permit (renewable annually, septic required) is available for longer stays. Tent camping is not permitted per county rules. Access is by a county-maintained dirt road, and an unnamed right-of-way dirt road crosses the parcel - true backcountry desert land, so plan on a high-clearance vehicle, which is part of what keeps this acre-plus so private and so affordable. Title is clean with no liens, and carrying costs are about as low as land gets.
