Try answering these simple questions to help you decide if you’re up to the challenges as well as the advantages of country living: Is your desire simply more elbowroom with the convenience and services found in the city? If so, better buy a larger lot near a city!
Are you afraid of wild animals? If so, you may live in the country, but you’ll be stuck in the house; you’re better off in the suburbs!
Are you irritated by waiting more than a few days for goods and materials to be delivered by major carriers? (overnight is almost unheard of)? If so, don’t move more than 50 miles from a metropolitan area!

There is still affordable real estate available in some areas of California, real estate affordable to the common man or woman. One of those areas is right here in the high-desert area of northeastern California where the advantages of country living abound. Of course, as almost everyone knows, there is no free lunch. Everything in life has some kind of cost involved, and property is no exception. That cost could be in dollars. There's a very logical reason why the January 2006 median cost of a home in the San Diego area was $605,600: good weather and jobs. The same logical reasoning goes for: Los Angeles, median cost $560,740 San Francisco-Oakland, median cost $707,390 Sacramento Valley areas, median cost $373,370 The median cost of a single-family detached home in California overall was $551,300! During the same time frame the median cost for a home in Alturas had just barely reached $100,000! It's simple economics. People migrate to the good weather and jobs, they need housing, builders build homes, and the price for each home rises; supply and demand. Remember, there is no free lunch. There's also a cost involved with living in the high desert of California, although perhaps not a monetary one. Modoc County doesn't have temperate weather, although it is tolerable and much of the time it's very pleasant. Because lack of population density is another one of the advantages of country living, there aren't a lot of high-paying jobs in this area either. I’ve determined though, that about anyone can earn a living here if they want to. So, why hasn't Alturas and Modoc County experienced the dramatic growth that the rest of the state has? The answer is that this area is virtually an unknown. There's really nothing here to attract people except maybe the intersection of two minor California roadways, CA 299 and US 395. Even with the added non-monetary cost of living here, Modoc County and surrounding area do provide almost all of the advantages of country living. There is room here to grow. Open space and wildlife are abundant, with many fishing and hunting opportunities. The area's schools are some of the state's best and not crowded nor riddled with crime and drugs. The lifestyle is more relaxed here. Neighbors actually know and help their neighbors. The purpose of this web site is to compare the area's good points with its negative points. Its purpose is to provide information that allows you, the reader, to answer questions. It will enable you to decide whether real country living is for you. The information, tips, links and resources contained in this site are intended to help you make that decision. If you've decided that real country living is for you, and you’re ready to experience the advantages of country living, the next decision to make is where to live. Do you buy existing real estate, build a new home, or rent? Renting is a good option if you want to live in an area for a while before you decide whether or not you’re ready to enjoy the advantages of country living. There are a number of styles of country homes to consider. If buying, your options include an existing home on land in the county or on a lot in town. If building a new home, you must pick the type of country home construction that best fits your needs. You must also consider searching for appropriate real estate and buying land. Another one of the advantages of country living is the abundance and variety of open land suitable for building. This is especially true in Modoc County. Home construction options include stick-built foundation-up custom homes or manufactured and modular homes. Regardless of whether you're buying existing or building a new home, you'll also want to investigate what kinds of building services are available in the local area. The perfect size, location and style of country home are required in order to fully realize all the advantages of country living. Click on
