Calling all Adventurers and Off-Roaders!

You can find peaceful privacy on this secluded 40 acre lot in Apache County, Arizona! It’s a blank slate, making it perfect for you to live out your off-grid dreams. This lot is just waiting for your homestead, cabin, or anything else you can imagine. You can have the best of both worlds, as it’s private while also being close to Highway 180 and only 15 minutes away from St. Johns, where you can stock up on supplies when you need to. The eastern border of the property touches Arizona State Trust Land, which ensures your privacy and offers an additional 640 acres of land for you to use and explore!

The terrain is varied here and far from ordinary. It’s hilly in some spots, yet the two flatter areas on the western and eastern edges of the property would be perfect sites for a cabin or residence. These elevated vantage points allow you to soak in the gorgeous landscape below and would offer views for miles right from your front porch! A seasonal streambed runs through the center of the property in the wet season, and the plentiful mature pinon and juniper trees offer shade and attract wildlife.

Rock crawlers wanted! This is a wonderful off-grid adventure property for someone who wants ultimate privacy and has the right vehicle for the job. There is an old dirt road that leads to the property which likely hasn’t been used in many years – it will require a lifted Jeep or similar 4x4 vehicle to traverse. Or, why not take your horses? The legality of this existing road is undetermined (see the yellow dotted line on the MapRight map). In addition to this old dirt road, this property has insurable legal access from multiple routes, so there are many options for you to access the property or blade your own road as you see fit. There is a 40’ easement for utilities and access along all parcel lines in this area (see the light blue dotted lines on the MapRight map). Alternatively, you may elect to keep the property extremely private by parking on the State Land next door and driving or backpacking to the property for a real adventure. Our photographer was able to drive across State Land to arrive at the Southeast corner of the property. (Arizona State Trust Recreational Permit required – permits are affordable, easily accessible, and last 12 months. They can be purchased online at https://asld.secure.force.com/recreationalpermit/). See a visual of the different access options in the "Photos" section.

This could be the hunting retreat you’ve always dreamed of! This land lies in GMU 2A, specifically in the St. Johns Elk Hunt Area, and legal hunting is allowed on the State Land next door. The tags are over the counter here! More hunting information can be found here: https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/units/pinetop/2a/

There is no POA and the zoning allows for almost anything, giving you freedom from covenants and restrictions. This property has the least restrictive zoning possible, and Apache County even welcomes your alternative build ideas – including earthships and tiny homes! If you’re interested in the privacy and seclusion that this area has to offer, but you’re not quite sure about being truly off-grid, electric lines are only about ¾ of a mile away if you prefer to bring in power. This property lies above the large Coconino Aquifer to supply abundant water to your private well. Water levels in this area are economical, averaging about 100-200 feet below the surface.

This area provides ideal weather all year long with over 300 days of sunshine per year. In the winter, it’s sunny and dry with an average high temperature of 50 degrees. Snow is light and usually melts within a day or two. Summer brings warm days and cool nights, with highs averaging in the upper 80s and lows in the 70s; much cooler than the lower elevations near Phoenix! In addition, this area benefits from occasional monsoon rains that nourish beautiful greenery and plant life. Lyman Lake is a short drive for fishing and boating, and you’ll only be about an hour away from the Petrified Forest National Park, where you can hike, fish, camp, or just take in the amazing scenery.
