there's no such thing as 5 to one and 10 to the otherYou should do it.
Would you ski on your knees?
I have also been looking at that area and there are no utils on those types
of properties.....or roads for ingress and egress.
I was trying to suss out if I could go full Ogro out there, but even with a lot
of in-ground storage, snowfall and rain isn't enough....you'd have to pay to have
water trucked in.
the access issue means you probably also need multiple cisterns...one for
receiving along publicly maintained roads and then a pump line closer to
the house(s)
some of those lots butt up against BLM land as well which means you have
guaranteed open space on one or more sides of your lot.
