Should We All Be Survivalists?

I just listed a home and property which caused me to stop and think.  The home built in 2003 is a territorial "Western" ranch home on an acre plus in a Maricopa "county island." ( That means it belongs to the "county" and not Scottsdale, Phoenix, Cave Creek,etc.") It has rustic tranquility but is close to roads, schools, shopping and is about 5 miles north of the 101 off of Tatum.  What is intriguing about the property is that the current owners have developed the land from "raw" desert to completely landscaped with vegetable,herb and flower gardens, citrus, fruit, nut and fig trees, grape vines and have their own chickens for fresh eggs.  It is completely walled in and has a pebble tec salt water swimming pool.

It seems to me that the current owners and future owners of this property are prepared to be "Survivalists" in an uncertain world where affordability of daily living has become an issue.  Gas, food and energy prices keep going up.  There is talk of scarcities occurring, global warming having an impact and the advantages and necessity for "Going Green."  Here at this "Desert County Oasis," the occupants are certainly more prepared than most to survive in the type of world which some are predicting will come, sooner or later.

The improvements made to this home and property are just at beginning stages if the next owner chooses to do more such as solar panels, building a green house, expanding to more livestock, there are numerous possibilities.  If you would like to take a look, go to website 4408emorningstarlane.platinumrealtyaz.com.  At any rate, "food" for thought. (Pardon the pun!)
