Location & Area Description
Apache County & Concho Area
Apache County represents one of Arizona's most authentic and unspoiled regions, preserving the genuine character of the Old West. As the state's third-largest county by area, encompassing over 11,218 square miles (larger than the entire state of Massachusetts or the country of Belgium), it offers incredibly diverse terrain ranging from high desert plains to forested mountains reaching over 11,000 feet elevation at Mount Baldy.
About Concho:
Concho is a small, peaceful unincorporated community in Apache County with a population of approximately 50-100 residents who value privacy, independence, and the wide-open spaces of rural Arizona. The community sits at approximately 6,000 feet elevation in the transition zone between the White Mountains to the south and the high desert plains to the north.
Originally established as a Mormon farming settlement in the late 1800S, Concho maintains its rural agricultural character with ranches, small farms, and homesteads scattered across the landscape. The community offers a genuine small-town atmosphere where neighbors know each other, help each other, and value traditional Western values of self-reliance and independence.
Your property near Concho provides the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility - remote enough for peace, quiet, and dark skies, yet close enough to services in nearby Springerville and St. Johns for convenience.
Elevation & Climate:
The property sits at approximately 6,000 feet above sea level, placing it in Arizona's high desert climatic zone. This elevation provides a dramatically different and significantly more comfortable climate than Arizona's famous low desert regions:
Summer Temperatures: Daytime highs typically range from 75-85°F with refreshingly cool nights dropping to 45-55°F. Unlike Phoenix's brutal triple-digit summers regularly exceeding 110°F, this elevation offers genuinely pleasant conditions perfect for outdoor activities, camping, building, and comfortable living without expensive air conditioning.
Winter Temperatures: Daytime highs average 35-45°F with nighttime lows of 10-25°F. Cold but manageable with proper preparation, appropriate clothing, and adequate heating. Winter days are often sunny and pleasant.
Spring/Fall Temperatures: Perfect shoulder seasons with daytime temperatures ranging comfortably from 50-70°F and ideal conditions for hiking, camping, building projects, and outdoor exploration.
Annual Precipitation: Approximately 10-12 inches per year, with most moisture arriving from dramatic summer monsoon thunderstorms (July-August) bringing afternoon and evening storms, and winter snow events providing beautiful winter landscapes.
Snowfall: Light to moderate snow possible from December through March, typically accumulating 10-20 inches annually but usually melting within several days to a week, rarely causing extended access issues.
Humidity: Very low year-round, typically 15-30%, making both hot and cold temperatures more comfortable and bearable than humid climates. The dry air means 80°F feels pleasant rather than oppressive.
Wind: Moderate winds common throughout the year, especially noticeable during spring months (March-May) when sustained breezes can reach 15-25 mph, providing natural cooling and excellent wind energy potential.
Seasonal Highlights: Four distinct seasons with spectacular monsoon thunderstorms featuring dramatic lightning displays, torrential downpours, and magnificent double rainbows in summer; crystal-clear, star-filled winter nights perfect for stargazing when the Milky Way appears in stunning detail; and brilliant fall colors in nearby mountains.
Natural Environment & Wildlife
The property is situated in a pristine high desert ecosystem characterized by remarkable biodiversity, stunning natural beauty, and relatively undisturbed habitat:
Vegetation:
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata): The dominant shrub species covering vast areas with aromatic silvery-green foliage that releases its distinctive, pleasant scent after rain showers
Native Grasses: Blue grama, Indian ricegrass, galleta grass, buffalo grass, and other species providing year-round ground cover and important forage for wildlife and livestock
Juniper Trees: One-seed juniper and Utah juniper scattered across the landscape providing vertical interest, shade, nesting sites for birds, and critical wildlife habitat
Chamisa (Rabbitbrush): Adding brilliant golden-yellow blooms in late summer and fall, creating stunning landscapes that contrast beautifully with bright blue skies and attract numerous pollinators
Four-wing Saltbush: Hardy native shrub offering year-round browse for wildlife and livestock, with distinctive four-winged seed pods
Wildflowers: Native species blooming spectacularly after spring rains and summer monsoons, including Indian paintbrush in vivid reds and oranges, lupine in purple and blue, penstemon, globe mallow, evening primrose, desert marigold, and numerous others creating carpets of color
Cacti: Prickly pear with edible fruit (tunas) and pads (nopales), and occasional cholla cactus in select microhabitats and rocky areas
Wildlife:
The Concho area supports diverse and abundant wildlife populations that make every visit an adventure in natural observation and provide excellent opportunities for wildlife photography and viewing:
Large Mammals: Mule deer with impressive antlers (bucks can exceed 200 pounds with antlers spanning 30+ inches), pronghorn antelope capable of sustained speeds exceeding 50 mph making them North America's second-fastest land animal, occasional elk migrating from nearby White Mountains forests during different seasons (bulls can weigh 700+ pounds)
Predators: Coyotes with distinctive howling calls at dawn and dusk creating the classic soundtrack of the Western wilderness, kit foxes and gray foxes, bobcats with tufted ears and spotted coats, badgers digging for ground squirrels and creating burrows, and very occasional mountain lion sightings in remote areas (these elusive cats generally avoid human contact)
Birds of Prey: Golden eagles with 7-foot wingspans soaring majestically on thermal currents, red-tailed hawks, Swainson's hawks migrating through in fall, northern harriers hunting low over grasslands with distinctive white rump patches, American kestrels (our smallest falcon), prairie falcons, and great horned owls with distinctive ear tufts hunting at night
Songbirds: Western meadowlarks with their distinctive melodious song considered one of the most beautiful bird songs in North America, horned larks, mountain bluebirds with brilliant blue plumage, sage thrashers, and numerous sparrow species including white-crowned, vesper, sage, and Brewer's sparrows
Ravens & Corvids: Common ravens performing aerial acrobatics and demonstrating remarkable intelligence (they can solve complex problems and use tools), pinyon jays traveling in noisy flocks, and black-billed magpies with striking black and white plumage and long tails
Small Mammals: Black-tailed jackrabbits with oversized ears for heat dissipation, desert cottontails, rock squirrels, Colorado chipmunks, deer mice, kangaroo rats with specialized kidneys allowing them to survive without drinking water, pocket gophers creating mounds, and various vole species
Reptiles: Various lizard species including collared lizards with vibrant blue and green colors, whiptails racing across open ground, side-blotched lizards, and horned lizards (often called "horny toads"); snakes including bull snakes (excellent rodent controllers), gopher snakes, striped whipsnakes, and occasional prairie rattlesnakes (please be aware and exercise appropriate caution, especially during warmer months from April through October)
Seasonal Visitors: Sandhill cranes during spring and fall migrations creating spectacular flyovers with their distinctive trumpeting calls, various waterfowl species using seasonal wetlands and stock ponds, numerous neotropical migrant songbirds during spring and fall including warblers and flycatchers
Dark Skies & Astronomical Excellence
One of the property's most extraordinary and valuable features is its remarkably dark night sky. With minimal light pollution from nearby communities (Concho has very few lights, and larger towns are miles away) and the crystal-clear air at 6,000 feet elevation, the property offers truly world-class stargazing opportunities that rival professional observatory sites:
Milky Way Visibility: Clearly visible stretching magnificently from horizon to horizon on moonless nights, appearing as a luminous band across the sky with incredible structural detail including dark dust lanes like the Great Rift, bright star clouds, and the brilliant galactic core visible during summer months rising in the southeast
Deep Sky Objects: Andromeda Galaxy (M31, our nearest large galactic neighbor 2.5 million light-years away) visible to the naked eye as a fuzzy patch, Orion Nebula (M42, a stellar nursery where new stars are forming) visible in winter, and countless star clusters like the Pleiades (M45, the Seven Sisters), Beehive Cluster (M44), and numerous others visible without optical aid
Planetary Viewing: Venus shining brilliantly as the "evening star" or "morning star," Mars showing its distinctive reddish color, Jupiter (with its four Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto visible through binoculars and cloud bands visible through telescopes), and Saturn (with rings clearly visible through small telescopes and largest moon Titan visible) observable in stunning detail
Meteor Showers: Annual events visible in full glory including Perseids (August 11-13, often producing 60-100 meteors per hour at peak), Geminids (December 13-14, the year's most reliable shower), Quadrantids (January 3-4), Lyrids (April 21-22), Leonids (November 17-18), and numerous others
Aurora Borealis: Occasionally visible on the northern horizon during intense solar storms and strong geomagnetic events (Kp index 7+), something extraordinarily rare and special this far south (approximately 34° north latitude) - a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity
Zodiacal Light: Faint pyramidal glow visible after sunset and before sunrise during optimal viewing times (spring evenings, fall mornings), a phenomenon created by sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust and only visible from very dark locations far from light pollution
International Space Station: Regular highly visible passes overhead several times per week, appearing as a bright steadily moving "star" crossing the sky from horizon to horizon in just a few minutes
Satellite Observations: Excellent location for viewing Starlink satellite trains (especially dramatic shortly after launch), Iridium flares, and other orbital objects
