A tiny off-grid city built in the middle of the Arizona desert, some 150 miles from civilization, is seeking future residents to join their self-sufficient residents. 

The community of Coslor Cove in northern Navajo County, is just east of the tiny town of Snowflake in Arizona - about a three hour drive to the nearest big city of Phoenix.

Completely remote, the 1,300-acre commune wants to remain off the grid, with eventually all 200 of its residents participating in garden-farming toward its goal of self-sustainability. 

Whereas traditional land developers are in business to maximize profits, the settlement of Coslor Cove was set up by Philip Gleason in order to reduce the costs of living and stress of daily life.

The entire community is still in its infancy and encouraging people who are looking to live life off-grid to pay $25,000 to secure a two-acre lot in the off-grid farming community.

Those living off the land will also be able to grow food, which could later be sold at a co-op store on site or through commercial channels, with water and power also created and provided on site. 

Next month, in July, the community is holding an open day for those interested in taking a closer look at a potentially new way of living.  

The settlement sits directly above the Coconino Aquifer - which is the largest in the state. It means there is plenty of water below ground, despite the arid nature of the surrounding countryside. 

Some buildings have already been constructed together with some basic solar panels and water storage tanks.
