Not every piece of high-desert land will actually grow something. This one will. Sitting at 5,810 feet in Apache County, this 40.97-acre parcel in Red Sky Ranch has the elevation and growing season that's made gardens and fruit trees a real success for folks in this part of the county - not just a patch of dirt that never quite works out.

Beyond the gardening potential, this is a genuinely secluded piece of the subdivision. The land slopes gently upward toward the northeastern corner, which gives the lower ground a natural southern exposure - good sun for growing, and long views out toward the White Mountains in the distance. Juniper trees are scattered across the parcel for privacy and wind cover, with open ground in between.
