Little Colorado River Valley Ranch

Land Description

38 Acre Little Colorado River Valley Ranch

This scenic 38.20 acre ranch is situated in a remote valley along the banks of the Little Colorado River north of St. Johns, Arizona. This is outstanding horse property carpeted with a variety of native range grasses and springtime mountain wildflowers growing in a tillable sandy loam soil. This sought after soil not only provides the grasses for your livestock, but it also provides the perfect base for vegetable gardens and fruit trees. The acreage is level throughout and features attractive rock formations in its northern reaches. Power service is extended to the property and available for immediate use. The Little Colorado River courses through the northern portion of the property. The river, which is a seasonal rainfed water course, has contributed to an abundance of groundwater below the land. The Arizona Department of Water Resources report for this property confirms the availability of groundwater from the massive Coconino Sandstone aquifer beneath the land. The report estimates water depths to range from 200' to 400' below the surface. With the abundance of groundwater, this land is exempt from the requirement to obtain a drilling permit for the drilling of a domestic well producing 35 gallons a minute or less, although all wells in Arizona must be registered with the State. At a cool and clear 6,200 foot elevation, 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 80's. The seasonal July/August monsoon rains bring additional cooling and turn the native grasses lush green. This is an exceptionally quiet and peaceful setting of sweeping mountain vistas and broad grassy valleys devoid of urban noise and teeming with free roaming elk, antelope and deer. This is a very 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 quiet and peaceful wilderness setting free of close by neighbors, urban noise and air pollution. All property corners are clearly marked by licensed surveyors. Road access is along County recorded title insured easements. Zoning allows residential construction of the owners choosing, livestock privileges, camping and RV use.
