Saint Johns, AZ 85936 - Apache County

Sierra Highlands Ranch is a majestic wilderness in northern Arizona. The broad grassy valleys atop the little Colorado Plateau is at a cool clear 6,200 elevation. Once the home of the ancient Anasazi, today it is home to free-roaming herds of elk, antelope and mule deer and the fortunate few who are claiming their spacious 38.97 acre off grid homestead there. The parcel is level with long range views of the surrounding Mesa tops through clear mountain air free of pollution. An exceptional climate is one of the best reasons to own a tract of Sierra Highlands Ranch. Outdoor work is rarely curtailed due to the weather. The winters here are mild, typically producing less than 18 inches of snow, most of which falls at a rate of two to three inches per storm and melts into the soil within a day or two. The average high temperature in the coldest month of January is 50 degrees. Summer temperatures are mild with daytime highs averaging in the upper 80's. Private wells are allowed. The land has a secure groundwater supply from its positioning over two defined aquifers, the massive Coconino Sandstone Aquifer and the overlying Bidahochi aquifer. In addition, a free access well is available to ranch owners 24/7 for water hauling. The land surface is blanketed with a fine tillable sandy loam soil, ideal for the raising of vegetables and fruit trees. Apples, cherries plumbs, pears and a host of garden vegetables thrive in this soil. This is a secluded location and best suited for people seeking large acreage ownership well away from neighboring owners and who place a premium on the freedom to use and work their land in a wilderness setting - free of urban noise and pollution. All corner markers have been set by registered surveyors and the recorded map with all property dimensions is provided to the new owners. The maintained road access to the property is built entirely along title insured easements recorded with the Apache County Recorders Office. The residential, recreational and agricultural zoning allows livestock, RVing and camping use at owners discretion. Sales Price $52,000 with $10,400 down with monthly payments of $505.
