Zoned RC (Recreational / Conservation), this property is not intended for traditional residential use. RVs ARE ALLOWED, and tiny homes are allowed only if they are non-permanent structures. This land is designed strictly for outdoor recreation, making it ideal for camping, hunting, fishing, trail riding, ATVs, buggies, and other off-road activities. Permanent structures, houses, manufactured homes, and any permanent living structures are not allowed, preserving the natural recreational purpose of River Ranch. There are no restrictions on how long you can stay you may live on the property as long as you want using an RV or approved non-permanent setup. This is raw, unimproved recreational land with no public utilities available. Electricity is handled off-grid, and many landowners rely on generators, solar panels, battery systems, or wind generators if power is needed. Water wells and sewer/septic systems are NOT allowed to be installed on this property. RVs must be fully self-contained, meaning all water supply and wastewater must be handled within the RV itself. Access to River Ranch is controlled through a guarded gate, and ownership requires a River Ranch membership, with dues of $175. Heres the straight answer about water and wastewater in the River Ranch area. There is no public water service and no public sewer service available to individual lots. Unlike traditional vacant land, private wells and septic systems are not permitted to be installed. Most River Ranch landowners rely on self-contained RV systems, hauled water, or portable water solutions that comply with River Ranch rules.
