Hideaway is nestled in a rural corner of Sanpete county and although many homes by the main roads do have electricity, the ones farther away, may find it quite expensive to pull in. However, many of our residents and weekend cabins have chosen to go green and actually use solar panels or small generators for their needs. To set up a complete solar system for your home costs between $17,000 and $40,000. If you drive around the valley, you will notice many places that have panels set up--and with so much sun, it is a very good alternative to the grid.Originally, all lots were sold with water rights of .75 acre foot. However, some lots have lost their water rights due to a failure to understand the complicated water rights in Utah. You can go here for more information: UTAH WATER or call 801 578 8820 and talk to Brad Dobson. Be sure when you purchase your property that you are deeded water rights or understand that you will have to buy them from a third party if you intend to build.
All lots are on their own private septic systems and the requirements for these can be found on the Sanpete county website. Before Building or buying be sure and go through all of the legal steps necessary including but not limited to water supply, septic permit, wild land urban requirements etc. All of the information is on the Sanpete County website. http://sanpete.com/pages/inspector
