‘The perfect setting,’ cry founders of new off-grid city where you can set up 150 miles into hostile desert for $25k
NESTLED amidst the rugged landscapes of northern Navajo County, Coslor Cove emerges as a beacon of self-sufficiency and serenity.
Situated a remote 150 miles from civilization, this off-grid community in Arizona beckons pioneers seeking a life less ordinary.
In the remote heart of northern Navajo County, Arizona, a pioneering community is taking shape amidst the stark beauty of the desert.
Coslor Cove is not just a settlement but a bold experiment in self-sufficiency.
Founded by Philip Gleason, this 1,300-acre off-grid enclave sits above the vast Coconino Aquifer.
This ensures a reliable water source despite the arid surroundings.
Designed for those seeking independence from traditional urban life, Coslor Cove aims to attract 200 residents willing to embrace a lifestyle centered on sustainable farming and off-grid living.
Basic infrastructure — including solar panels, water storage tanks, and Starlink satellite Internet — provides modern amenities in an otherwise rugged environment.
“For those yearning for a life less conventional, blending the tranquility of nature with the freedom of self-reliance, Coslor Cove is the perfect setting,” proclaims its website.
This sentiment captures the ethos of a community where residents co-own expansive desert landscapes, collaborate in shared greenhouses, and practice sustainable living through solar energy and water conservation, the website says.
You can also secure a perfect slice of solitude by reserving a two-or-more acre plot in Coslor Cove’s exclusive, first-come, first-served homestead selection.
The Coslor Cove website also boasts how the community offers communal tools, equipment rentals, and a shared greenhouse to empower your journey toward self-sufficiency and sustainability.
You would also have the chance to connect with like-minded neighbors who share your enthusiasm for independence and productivity, fostering a supportive environment where ideas flourish, per the site.
MORE TO KNOW
Joining Coslor Cove requires more than a financial commitment.
Prospective residents must invest $25,000 to secure a two-acre plot and commit to building a passive-solar home, installing personal water and power systems, and contributing to the community’s ethos of self-sufficiency.
It’s a testament to Coslor Cove’s mission to reduce the costs and pressures of modern living, eschewing political or religious affiliations in favor of practical self-reliance.
