1.19-Acre Desert Rose Acres Homesite in Bouse Listed for $19,900

A 1.19-acre parcel in the Desert Rose Acres subdivision of Bouse was listed for $19,900, providing local buyers and investors an accessible price point in the La Paz County land market. The property was posted to the MLS on January 23, 2026 and remained active when checked on January 24, 2026. At that price, the lot works out to about $16,723 per acre.

The listing identifies Marie Gonzalez of David Plunkett Realty as the agent and markets the parcel as a buildable desert homesite. The seller notes that well and septic will be required, and that access is by county-maintained roads. Those two facts - utilities and legal access - are central to development economics for undeveloped parcels in this part of the county, affecting both out-of-pocket costs for buyers and the ease of obtaining financing or building permits.

For local residents, the listing matters in several ways. First, a sub-$20,000 asking price for a buildable lot signals continued availability of low-cost land in the Bouse area, which can influence neighborhood comparables and expectations for future lots coming to market. Second, the requirement to install a well and septic places the financial burden of utilities on buyers and triggers county permitting requirements that can add time and cost before a property becomes habitable. County-maintained road access, conversely, improves the parcel’s practical value because it secures legal ingress and egress without private road maintenance obligations.

From an investment perspective, undeveloped acreage like this tends to attract a mix of buyers: retirees and seasonal residents seeking low-cost retreats, local builders looking for speculative lots, and small-scale investors tracking inventory levels. For municipal officials and planners, ongoing listings highlight the need to balance rural development with infrastructure and water resource planning in La Paz County.

This listing offers a data point rather than a market trend by itself, but it contributes to a larger picture of rural land supply in and around Bouse. Prospective buyers should factor in the additional capital and regulatory steps required to bring the site to livable condition, including well drilling, septic permits, and any county-level building approvals.

For residents watching housing affordability and land availability, the Desert Rose Acres listing is a reminder that entry-level parcels remain on the market. Those considering purchase should contact Marie Gonzalez at David Plunkett Realty for current status and verification, and consult La Paz County permitting offices about well and septic requirements before moving forward.
