Northern Az Secluded Mountain Ranch

Ranch Description

This quiet and very private 37.56 acre ranch located approximately 19 miles northeast of St. Johns, Arizona in the secluded highlands of the Arizona/New Mexico border country. This is prime ranchland set amid towering rock mesas, evergreen woodlands and grassy meadows. The land is situated at a cool and clear 6,200 foot elevation where the comfortable temperatures allow ranch owners to enjoy their land year-round. The days here are sunny, the nighttime sky clear and the mountain air clean and refreshing. Occasional winter snowfalls are light, rarely exceeding more than two to three inches. Summer days are warm and sunny, but never hot. Average daytime summer highs are in the mid to upper 80s. The seasonal July/August monsoon rains bring additional cooling and turn the native grasses lush green. Throughout the summer, colorful mountain wildflowers spread across the land's meadows. This is an exceptionally quiet and peaceful land of sweeping mountain vistas and broad grassy valleys devoid of urban noise and teeming with free roaming elk, antelope and deer. The property was custom surveyed to include generous portions of wooded acreage and grassy meadows. This property is level and entirely usable throughout. It will be very easy to fence. Solar exposures in all directions provide outstanding self-sustaining energy options.

This acreage is ideal for livestock and self-sufficiency gardens and orchards. The soil throughout the meadow is a soft sandy loam base. There is no rock here to contend with. Area gardens and orchards produce generous harvests of apples, peaches ,pears, tomatoes, peppers, corn, and potatoes. The Arizona Department of Water Resources report for this property confirms the availability of two fresh water aquifers beneath the land for ranch owners to drill their private wells into. These are both well-defined water basins that provide ranch owners with domestic quality water. Wells drilled approximately 325' tap into the shallower of the two aquifers. With the abundance of groundwater, owners in Sierra Highlands Ranch are exempt from the requirement to obtain a drilling permit for their domestic wells and may irrigate their entire property free of government oversight. Sierra Highlands Ranch property owners also have exclusive free access to the ranch's convenience well. The well is powered by a state of the art solar pump which delivers water into twin 5,000 gallon storage tanks. Dual spigots speed the water delivery into RV tanks and water haulers. Land owners have access to the well 24/7 as part of their ownership privileges within the ranch.The land is within a short drive of Lyman Lake State Park. This 1,200 acre park is located 10 minutes south of St. Johns and features the 1,500 acre Lyman Lake with its fishing, boating, and scenic hiking trails. (see photo album) down payment, per month.
