Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I build on 1 acre in Apache County?

A: One acre can accommodate a single-family home, manufactured home, cabin, garage, workshop, and outbuildings. Contact Apache County Planning & Zoning for specific regulations:.

Q: Is water available on the property?

A: You'll need to drill a well, which is standard practice in rural Arizona. Typical depths in this area are 200-500 feet. Contact local well drilling companies for specific estimates.

Q: How much snow does the area get?

A: The Concho area receives 20-40 inches of snow annually on average. Snow usually melts within a few days, but true winter conditions occur. It's beautiful but plan accordingly.

Q: Can I live there year-round?

A: Yes, absolutely. With a properly permitted structure, well water, septic system, and heating for winter, year-round living is very feasible and enjoyable.

Q: What about electricity?

A: Contact Navopache Electric Cooperative to check grid availability and connection costs. Off-grid solar is also highly viable with 300+ sunny days per year.

Q: Is this good hunting property?

A: The property is located in one of North America's premier elk hunting areas. Units 1 and 27 are world-renowned. You can hunt on your property with proper licenses, and vast public lands are nearby.

Q: How far to grocery stores and services?

A: St. Johns (10-12 miles) has grocery stores, gas, and basic services. Springerville (32-35 miles) has Safeway, medical center, and more extensive services.

Q: What's the nearest hospital?

A: White Mountain Regional Medical Center in Springerville-Eagar, approximately 32-35 miles away, provides full medical services including emergency care.

Q: Can I pay off the owner financing early?

A: Yes. Early payoff is allowed with no prepayment penalties. Contact us anytime for your current payoff balance.

Q: Why are the taxes so low?

A: Arizona taxes vacant land at very low rates. Once you build a home, taxes will increase based on the improvements, but they typically remain reasonable compared to many other states.

Q: Is this a good investment?

A: The White Mountains region is increasingly popular for recreation and retirement. The minimal carrying costs ($16.52 annual taxes) make long-term holding very affordable while land values tend to appreciate.

Q: What wildlife will I see?

A: Elk are very common (you'll likely see large herds.), along with mule deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, foxes, hawks, eagles, and numerous other species. It's a wildlife paradise.

Q: Can I camp on the property while developing it?

A: Check with Apache County on regulations for temporary camping. Many owners do camp on their property during the development phase.

Q: Is owner financing really with no credit check?

A: Yes, absolutely. We don't check credit scores. If you can make the $149 down payment and $149 monthly payments, the property is yours.

Q: Are there any HOA fees or restrictions?

A: No Hoa, no covenants, no restrictions beyond Apache County regulations. You have freedom to use your property as you wish within legal guidelines.

Q: How's the cell phone reception?

A: Cell service varies by carrier and exact location. At&T and Verizon generally offer the best coverage in rural Arizona. Signal boosters can significantly improve reception.

Q: Can I see the stars at night?

A: Absolutely. With virtually zero light pollution, the night skies are spectacular. The Milky Way is clearly visible, meteor showers are amazing, and stargazing is phenomenal.

Q: Is the property flat or sloped?

A: The terrain features typical high country characteristics. View the property in person or via Google Earth satellite imagery to assess specific topography.

Q: Can I have chickens or other small livestock?

A: Likely yes, but verify with Apache County regulations regarding agricultural uses and any animal-related requirements.
