I heard about an interesting “turn-key” off-grid retreat property that is for sale. It is just over 60 acres in northeastern Washington State. This property is remote, yet quite accessible. It has plentiful well water, PV power (1600 watts, with very good solar exposure for future expansion), an existing small house, multiple building sites, and the owners have already established three types of small livestock and a garden. The property has a hidden underground 40-foot CONEX that is fully stocked with a three year supply of long-term storage food. (Included.) There is also a military surplus vehicle that will come with the property. The property is priced under $260,000. There are tenant caretakers available to carry on, if desired. This property is not MLS listed, nor is it listed at our SurvivalRealty.com site, hence the special mention here. Contact Todd Savage at SurvivalRetreatConsulting.com, for details.
