Klickitat County Real Estate: Off The Grid Land Available

By Jerish Thieman


There is much concern today regarding pollution and the depletion of natural resources. Many of us have tried to reduce our water use, drive more fuel-efficient cars, installed solar panels or found other ways to diminish our dependence and need for natural resources. For a few brave individuals, they have chosen to completely remove themselves from the grid, no longer needing local water or power to maintain their lifestyle.

There are just about as many reasons for going off the grid as there are people who choose to live this way. Often, a family wishes to simplify their life and lessen their impact on our electrical grids and community water supplies. For others, they wish to be independent and depend on their own hard work for survival and become completely self-sufficient.

With so much turmoil in the world, there are also people who move off the grid in order to protect themselves and prepare for a variety of doomsday scenarios. These issues range from worries about societal collapse or perhaps the fast-moving spread of a deadly disease or perhaps a mega-earthquake or other type of severe natural disasters that would knock out all public power and water sources. The reasons may vary, but for anyone searching for off the grid land, consider exploring the real estate options in Klickitat County, Washington.

In general, most people searching for off grid land wish to live in a rural setting, and Klickitat County is ideal for these people. There are only about 21,000 people living within the country, yet it covers a large area of about 2,000 square miles. While it's quite rural, it also is close enough to Portland and also Seattle and Vancouver to be a good bug out location if necessary. There are all sorts of interesting land options, from those close to towns, isolated properties far from people or even properties with amazing mountain or river views. Whatever you need, the team at Klickitat Valley Realty can help you locate the perfect piece of land or home that fits your budget and needs.

While portions of Klickitat County are mountainous as the Cascade Mountains run through the county, there is plenty of good land for agriculture. You can find grazing land for livestock as well as land suitable for crops and large gardens. Hunting also is allowed throughout the county, although there are some restrictions, but you will find everything from wild turkey to deer to pheasant and other game animals. One challenge that all off-the-gridders face is locating good sources of water, and this should definitely be one of the priorities of your property search.

For those seeking alternate forms of power, you can install solar power or harness wind energy in Klickitat County. Average wind speed in Klickitat County is higher than the state and national averages. Propane delivery also is available in Klickitat County and if you pre-buy large amounts of propane when prices are low, this can be a very affordable source of energy.
