Depends on where you buy. The area I was looking at has huge acreage and most need to be on a well. If I knew about the water issues I would of bought some that were double the price 40k per acer that already had water on it. Some of that land it costs up to 60k to dig a well and it gets complicated because you are buying out where the farmers are and they are getting put on restrictions because the water underground is depleting. They have 5 or more water agency's. Very complicated. Lots of homework needs to be done before buying out there. Their laws are first to claim so you want land with water rights from the 1800 to early 1900,s. It just defeats the purpose of cheap land. Say 20k for a acer then 60k for a well and you don't even know how deep you got to dig then have multiple pumps. Defeats the purpose. now your at 80k for land and water in farm land. Not so cheap. I only did minimal research in cedar city. But water is like gold to them out there. First to claim is huge. Plus the city is sinking because of all the wells. Now they are trying to get billions of gallons from Salt Lake or a Indian reservation to the East. If they do that then that place will explode. Lots of golden realastate out hear, but water is King. I'm about a half hour away and like what I see. So many possibilities and no water issue's. Place is huge out here.. Utah that is. Wells usually cost 10k.
