Important Tips for Vacant Land Buyers:
- The true vacant land supply in Lake Havasu is limited. Many open desert areas that appear available are actually BLM controlled or restricted from residential development.
- Verify utility availability before making an offer. Costs can vary depending on the distance to service connections.
- Review setback requirements and confirm the buildable area, especially on irregularly shaped or hillside lots.
- Consider soil testing early to avoid construction surprises.
- Walk the lot to understand slope, access, and view potential.
- For hillside lots, factor in possible retaining walls, engineering needs, or elevated construction costs.
- Out-of-city and Desert Hills lots may require wells or septic systems.
- Work with a local builder who understands Havasu terrain and city building standards.
Why Buyers Choose to Build in Lake Havasu:
- The ability to personalize a home from the ground up.
- Opportunities for modern layouts and large garages.
- Long-term value and energy efficiency.
- Flexibility in lot size, elevation, and views.
