Black Creek Ranch

Land Description

Bordering the sprawling Sitgreaves National Forest in scenic northern Arizona is this 163 off grid ranch estate set amid lush juniper/pinon pine woodlands and scenic rain fed Black Canyon creek. The property controls a generous portion of creek frontage as well as ample portions of woodlands and meadows. Once a part of the historic O'Haco family Ranch, these large secluded tracks are now available for the first time for private deeding. This property is unique in its contours, view sheds and individual attributes. The elevation averages 6,000' across the property. The soils and range grasses provide excellent grazing conditions. Native grass varieties include blue and black grama, galleta, muhlys, and needle grass. Primary brouse consists of chamiso, winterfat, fourwing salt- bush and cliffrose. Frontages along a wilderness canyon with a seasonal creek are a rare find in this prime northern Arizona location. Ownership of portions of Black Canyon and several of its tributaries represents an exceptional opportunity to own riparian land. This part of north central Arizona is highly sought after by hunters and fishermen for its abundance of free roaming herds of elk, deer and antelope as well as the many freshwater national forest lakes that are stocked with rainbow trout and other sport species.
