NEVADA

Desert, Desert, Desert.

Your bartender is right. Land there is cheap for a reason.

AZ/ American south west fag here

>Real estate prices in Nevada are insanely low -- $10k for 40 acres

because they are literally selling you 40 acres of infertel dirt since you probably don't have anywhere close enough to pay for irrigation or farming.

>but I've never been out there... what's it like?

Exactly what your bartender told you it is like, NV, New Mexico, and mid-south AZ are all the same flat, nothing and bullshit hot

>What should I know about in order to have a good trip out there so I can reconnoiter the area?

Rent a car and drive from Vegas to there, because that's about the same for AZ and NM. You'll have one mega city in the state and 2 smaller cities with JACK SHIT to do outside of it. There are really 2 things to do, drugs or drinking.

>but he just says it's flat, full of scrub, and there's very little water or much to do at all.

Outside of the major cities that foot the bill for proper water distribution to turn the land green then this is correct. Even then most cities just drop off with death in every direction. If you like small towns then move to Elko, water, electricity, internet, etc will cost you probably more and I hope you enjoy life time bars and same old same old stuff because.

>I want to build my own little microcommunity or hermitage out there.

Good fucking luck, I hope this was just some drunk rambling idea

Buying cheap land in Nevada is like paying a nickel for a turd and thinking you got a good deal.

That sums it up well!

Only a good idea if you want a home base for going out to legal brothels, and even then a stretch

I've been on a train through, and knew a guy from there. Apparently it's brown, dry, barren desert full of fucking nothing. If you enjoy hiking in the desert then it's cool I guess? Good luck finding water. Or food. And it's hot as balls in summer and cold as balls in winter.

It's pretty much the empty quarter of saudi arabia.

Nevadan here. Yeah, I'd never recommend that anyone try to settle out in those areas unless they REALLY hate people.

Unionville is a literal ghost town. Elko is barely anything - a pit stop along a boring as fuck area of land.

There's nothing to do at all, resources won't be easy to come by, and it's a really bad idea.

Cults are too much upkeep. I'm looking for a faster return on my investment.

Nice plan, man

sounds like the perfect climate to start an olive farm.

>>1223516

Pretty much is...

It's shitty desert wasteland, that's why it's so cheap.

But you could probably do something with it, who knows.

>>1224186
ride 2-smoke dirtbikes, quads, dune buggies, shoot guns. there's a lot to do in the desert man

>>1224186

This. A lot of the southwest has "cheap land".. It's cheap for a reason.

Water is scarce, there are few usable minerals near surface, and it's often in the middle of fucking nowhere.

A friend tried frontiering it near Ash Fork Az, and after three years, his wife was bonkers, and he was pretty fucking kooky. it was a two hour drive to a paved road, and then another two to get water. Unless you managed to drill down 20K some feet.

Soil was rocky and the biggest plant were shoulder height cresote bushes.

Guy may as well had land on the moon.

>3000 foot well
It would for one be expensive as shit and two would really fuck up the places around you would also need to work with local government to approve tapping into the water supply so much

>>1222849
If you're into hunting skinwalkers you can potentially make a living out of that. Apparently they're abundant in the Nevada desert.
