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 many reasons why people choose to go off the grid. For some, it's about conservation and getting back to the land for a more self-sufficient lifestyle. For others, they wish to remove their dependence on society and live independently without depending on anyone else for their survival.
Still others are preparing for the possible collapse of our nation's economy or the horrific effects of different natural disasters or a pandemic plague. For these survivalists, living off the grid will prepare them for any type of disaster that might occur. If you are one of the many people considering an off-the-grid move, consider making Klickitat County your new home base. This county has many available properties that are ideal for off grid land.
One of the main attractions of this county is its highly rural nature; there are more than 1,800 square miles of land, but only about 21,000 residents. It's far enough away from cities such as Seattle and Portland to be remote, yet if you need to venture into the city, they are only a few hours away. Some properties in the county are quite remote and highly isolated, off main roads, which might appeal to some buyers. Other buyers might prefer closer access to city roads and county roads or want to be within easy driving distance of a town, and those types of properties also are available. Simply contact the realtors at Klickitat Valley Realty and discuss your needs and budget with them.
The Cascade Mountains cut through a portion of Klickitat County and they provide much natural beauty for the county's residents. However, there also is plenty of open land suitable for growing food and raising animals. In addition, you also have the option to hunt during certain times of the year, and the area is teeming with deer, turkey, quail, pheasant, duck, bear and cougar just to name a few. One important aspect of your search will be to find a place that allows you have all of the water that you will need; otherwise, you will have to find ways of transporting and storing your fresh water.
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.
