Direct sale of 640 acres to private buyer
The Bureau of Land Management proposes a non-competitive direct sale of a 640-acre parcel in La Paz County, Arizona to 174 Power Global, LLC for no less than the appraised fair market value of $350,000. The land would not be offered for sale until after May 15, 2026, and the sale is presented as a way to resolve management issues and support economic development in La Paz County.
No mineral rights conveyed with sale
The sale would transfer the surface estate but the mineral estate is reserved to the State of Arizona, so no mineral rights would convey with the sale of this 640-acre parcel in La Paz County, Arizona. This reservation is stated explicitly in the notice.
Land segregated from claims and applications
Publication of this notice (March 31, 2026) segregates the 640-acre parcel from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, and the BLM will not accept land use applications affecting the parcel until the sale is completed or segregation ends. That segregation will end on issuance of a patent, publication of a termination, or 2 years after publication (on or about March 31, 2028) unless extended.
