Rural Subdivision

About

Desert Shadows Ranchos is an off-grid rural subdivision near Yucca in Mohave County, Arizona, organized in numbered units close to Interstate 40 between Kingman and the Colorado River. Lots are commonly around 2.35 acres, and some parcels border BLM land on two sides. Mohave County applies no rural zoning across most of its unincorporated land, so owners typically install solar systems, drill domestic wells or haul water, and add septic, in open Mojave high-desert terrain.
