You bought the land.
Now what?

If you're dreaming of getting off the grid in California without going broke, welcome to the party. Owning rural land isn’t just a flex—it’s an opportunity.
Here are 7 things you can actually do with off-grid land in Northern California.
🏕️ 1. Build a Bug-Out Cabin (or Tiny Home)
You don’t need 40 acres and a construction crew.A small, off-grid cabin or tiny home can be your weekend retreat, long-term escape plan, or secret writing den (yes, we're talking to you, future novelists).
🔋 2. Live Off the Grid—For Real
Tired of city bills and noise?
Set up:
Solar panels
Compost toilets
Rainwater collection
A cozy wood stove
Live simply. Live free. And yes, it’s legal in many parts of Modoc County.
🪵 3. Use It as a Private Campsite
Why pay for crowded campgrounds when you can pitch a tent on land you own?Build a fire pit, bring the dogs, and stargaze without a single RV generator humming nearby.
🚙 4. Park Your RV or Tiny Trailer
Many Apex Land buyers use their parcel to legally park their RV, fifth wheel, or travel trailer.
Use it seasonally. Use it as a second home base. Use it just to get out of town.
🐓 5. Start a Homestead Hobby
You don’t have to go full homesteader.But a few chickens, a raised garden bed, and a rain barrel? Totally doable.
It’s peaceful, grounding, and surprisingly addictive.
📦 6. Store Stuff. Seriously.
Tired of paying for a storage unit?Many off-grid landowners use their parcel for secure storage—containers, vehicles, tools, whatever. Just make sure it’s allowed on your specific lot.
💰 7. Just Hold It
Land doesn’t go out of style.Even if you don’t use it today, buying land now and holding it for 3–5 years can be a smart, low-cost investment—especially in up-and-coming rural areas like Modoc County.
🎯 But Wait—Can I Actually Do All This?
