Elk Valley Ranch, 39 Acres Off Grid

Land Description

This 39 acre off grid tract is located high atop the crest of towering mesa fifteen minutes east of an historic northern Arizona pioneer town. The land is situated at 6,600' above sea level in the heart of prime grazing ranchland. For over a century, ranchers have raised healthy herds of free ranging cattle on this property. Today the land is available for those seeking large parcel ownership in a quiet wilderness environment free of neighbors and big city noise and congestion. The property is level throughout and covered with a fine sandy loam soil ideal for growing abundant harvests of organic vegetables and fruit trees. The land was surveyed to include over 600' of frontage along the crest of the mesa behind which the balance of the acreage rests. Cabin decks positioned along the crestline will command uninterrupted views of thousands of acres of uninhabited wilderness in the valley below. Striking views of this caliber are very rare and can't be blocked or interfered with anyone or anything. Park your weekend RV anywhere atop the ridgeline and enjoy colorful sunsets and sun rises along with dramatic summer monsoon storms as they cross above the valley below. The land is bordered on its north and west boundaries by thousands of acres of uninhabited State of Arizona Trust woodlands. These trust woodlands provide a quiet and scenic backdrop to the property. The maintained road access all of the way to the property is built entirely along title insured easements recorded with the county recorder's office. The residential, recreational and agricultural zoning allows livestock, camping and RV use at the owner's discretion. St. Johns is a charming pioneer town founded in the 1870'S where you'll find everything you need for your rural homestead including grocery stores, hardware stores, automotive stores, banks, restaurants, pharmacy, schools and churches. Outdoor work is rarely curtailed due to the weather. The winters here are mild, typically producing less than 18 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 land is blessed with an average of 327 days of sunshine a year. The average high temperature in the coldest month of January is 50 degrees under sunny clear skies. Summer temperatures are mild with daytime highs averaging in the upper 80's. The summer lows average in the 70's. Summer temperatures see additional cooling with the arrival of the seasonal monsoon rains. Typically arriving in mid-July, these refreshing afternoon rains bring forth a profusion of colorful wildflowers and turn the ranch's lush native range grasses vivid with down and payments of Call.
