I have a turn-key, fully furnished off-grid property for sale. The property consists of a 1 acre lot, fully renovated and furnished camper, large deck, and all off grid components, (solar, water tank, etc). 

My wife and I are located in Missouri and have spent the past year setting up this property, but due to a specific opportunity, we are looking to invest in land locally.

We set this property up as an Airbnb, but it is not uncommon for locals to live in campers like this in the area. It does have 3 months of Airbnb income and I’d be happy to share the numbers with serious buyers. We have a management team in place that also owns similar properties, and is equipped to handle EVERYTHING that comes with an off grid property. They handle guest communication, turnover, maintenance, water hauling, etc. They are ready to work with the new owner as much or as little as needed.

I know exactly how much money we have in this property, and am willing to share with anyone who is seriously interested. I recognize that this is not traditional real estate, and we don’t have a long history of income, so the value is effected as such. I think we are willing to be pretty fair in our valuation.

Please message me with any questions!

Thank you @Chris Seveney!

I think that all makes sense. I recognize by selling with only 3 months of recorded income we are likely losing out on some potential value. I know exactly how much we have in the property, land and all, but that doesn’t include labor, as we did almost everything ourselves over the course of the year. Still, I think if we could sell for 1.25-1.5x what we have in it, we would be happy. 

Any recommendations on where to look for a potential buyer? I’m considering the usual suspects, (FB marketplace, Craigslist, etc), but was hoping there was an easier way to target investors. 

Thanks again for the reply!
 

Hello! My wife and I live in Missouri have spent the past year setting up our property in between Williams, AZ and the Grand Canyon, (about 25 minutes from the South Rim). We own a one acre lot, and have a fully renovated camper that has been converted to be entirely off-grid, (full solar, water hauling, functioning toilet, etc). We launched it on Airbnb the first week of April and have been really happy with it's performance. We have full management with a great team that handles everything from guest communication and cleaning to hauling in water and servicing the solar array. 

That being said, we are considering selling for a couple of reasons. We were recently offered an amazing deal, and ultimately purchased 5 acres of land in Arkansas near a Marina on the lake. However, between the capital we put into our AZ site and the capital we spent on the new land, we are relatively tapped out. I see a lot of potential in the land we purchased, especially because it is less than an hour away and I can develop it myself over time. And honestly, I'm not sure I'm cut out to own property so far away. As lame as it might sound, even with how well the property is doing, I find myself dealing with a lot of anxiety about not being close by. 

All that being said, I have no idea how to go about finding a buyer. I know some people will say all I have is a one acre lot and a camper, but I have to imagine with it being entirely turnkey, with management in place, several months of income, and dozens of comparable properties, I should be able to find someone looking for this type of investment. 

Anyone sold a site like this? Any suggestions for where to look for a buyer?
