You can get land with water in America for under $1000 an acre. Strongly recommend investing in land with water. Electricity can be pulled in via solar, trucked in with diesel fuel for generation, starlink can be arranged, sewage can be collected in containers and disposed of periodically (worst case), but having a place to stay legally with a water connection shouldn't be underestimated. I lived in a van I converted to solar too for six months before finding employment in a city and consequently a cheap apartment. This was before remote work was more accepted.


Thanks, people always tell me about this, but I can never find a way to do it. Do you have any links or ways to find these pieces of land? Every time I look, there’s always a catch.


Find a parcel near a river or with an aquifer underneath it

https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/en/

Right sidebar, Hydrology -> Aquifers -> ON

Then check local ordinances to see if there are prohibitions against living in an RV on your property. Typically you want to stay away from properties which specify "Covenants and restrictions apply" because they typically prohibit RV living.
