What sets us apart from other remote locations: The number one reason is housing. We offer better quality, more affordable housing than most remote locations and we do have housing for families most of the time. Our housing is “subsidized” to cover only actual utility costs. We are also “more remote” than most remote locations.
Our location: We are located in Southern Utah on the Northern end of Lake Powell. We are very, very remote, and “off the grid” including generating our own Power. We are 8 miles north of Glen Canyon National Recreation area, where Lake Powell is located. We have millions of acres of open land around us, much of it public and dotted with trails and dirt roads. We have Lake Powell, the Red Rock Canyons and we live at the base of the Henry Mountains, so the diversity and vastness is amazing. If you love Lake Powell and the water you’re set…If you love the land, hiking, 4x4ing, camping, mountains, trout fishing, hunting etc…you’re set. We literally sit in millions of acres of open land that is our “back yard”.
What are the advantages and/or why you’d want to live and work here?: It does take a certain “type” of person to successfully live and work here. While beautiful, it’s also hot in the summer and the work we do is tough. Most of our turn over is because people don’t like being remote.
If you are the “outdoors” type, (the true type, not a poser) and are into fishing/boating/water sports, off-roading/atv riding, motorcycling, hiking, star gazing, canyoneering, paleontology, photography, exploring, and enjoy solitude by yourself, with your significant other or even a pet, then this place is heaven. If you (or a spouse) is highly social, people are a necessity rather than a luxury, and shopping/Starbucks etc…is habit, then it’s hell. Our nearest Walmart and “town” of any size is about three hours away in Grand Junction Colorado.
The winters are warm and mild and if snow does reach the ground here, it’s a few inches and melts in a day or two, while you can look up at the Henry Mountains and see nice snow-covered peaks. No Hurricanes and no Tornadoes. There is little to no crime here, no red lights, no gangs, no pollution, no traffic jams along with none of modern societies other “ills” that we just read about here and are distanced from. You can see the Milky Way almost every night and if you walk out your front door in any direction, far enough you can be lost and never found. It’s a great place for one person, a couple or a family and there is a K-12 school for kids 8 miles from us in Bullfrog.
We also have nice housing, at subsidized rates staring at $250 a month (all inclusive) for small “cowboy” studio units and $400 a month (all inclusive) for 2-3-bedroom mobile homes.
We do have a variety of other jobs in hotel, retail, food and beverage and Marine Services, so spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, and even kids of legal work age have the opportunity to work here as well…
The commute? It’s awesome. About 5-8 minutes to work, with the high desert, canyons and the mountains as your scenery. One stop sign, no red lights, or traffic jams and the longest commute to work is 2 miles!
What are the disadvantages of living and working here? One can not make a decision to live and work here based on financial need or just a need for “a job”. The wages here are lower by far than some comparable professions in metropolitan areas, but the quality of life and the cost of living (via the housing options we offer) does offset lower pay rates. Everyone has to do the “math” and make sure it works for them.
If you are running from something, or yourself/problems “geographical cure” will not work. Along with/in conjunction with the remoteness it’s a tried and true recipe for failure and misery. You have to be a little “hard wired” for this life, but for those of us who are, its pretty darn cool.
If you’re interested and/or intrigued, email me a paragraph or two of why you know you’d be right at home personally and professionally here in the middle of nowhere with the handful of us that also do this and think we’ve found utopia. Attach a resume’ and once you apply online and we can talk/interview via phone or skype to see if we’re that “mutual fit” to have you join us working and living in the high dessert of Utah, a very unique place and life!
