This expansive property offers 528 feet of road frontage along a maintained paved road, eliminating the access challenges common to rural land while providing the privacy and space you're seeking.

Key Features:

• Rare paved road access directly from Highway 191
• 528 feet of road frontage along maintained pavement
• No HOA, POA, or restrictive covenants
• Agricultural General zoning permits residential, agricultural, and commercial uses
• Mature pinon and juniper trees providing natural beauty

Property Features & Location Situated at 6,200 feet elevation between the communities of Sanders and St. Johns, this property enjoys the best of both worlds: complete rural seclusion with convenient access to amenities. The strategic location places you just 30 minutes from either town, ensuring supplies and services remain accessible while you enjoy the peace of wide-open spaces.

The property's unique dimensions—stretching approximately 3,200 feet in length with gentle, flat terrain—create exceptional versatility for your vision. Whether you're planning a homestead, recreational retreat, or considering more specialized uses like a private airstrip, the expansive flat acreage provides the foundation for diverse possibilities.

Natural Beauty & Climate Mature pinon and juniper trees are scattered throughout the property, providing natural landscaping, wildlife habitat, and visual appeal while maintaining the open character of high desert terrain. At this elevation, you'll enjoy Arizona's abundant sunshine with significantly cooler temperatures than the lower desert regions—summer highs average 87°F with cool nights dropping to the mid-60s, while winter temperatures remain moderate with manageable snowfall.

Freedom to Build Your Vision Agricultural General zoning combined with no HOA or POA restrictions means you have complete freedom to use your land as you envision. Apache County welcomes alternative building methods including earthships, tiny homes, rammed earth construction, and conventional homes. You can raise livestock, pursue agricultural projects, or develop the property for residential or even commercial purposes with highway frontage.

Practical Considerations The property requires well drilling for water (average depths in the area around 400 feet) and septic installation for waste management. Navopache Electric Cooperative serves the region, though the distance to existing power lines would need to be determined. The flat terrain and paved road access make utility installation more straightforward than typical rural properties.

Recreational Opportunities Your property lies within Game Management Unit 2A, allowing hunting with proper licensing. The surrounding area offers access to millions of acres of public land, proximity to Petrified Forest National Park, and the outdoor recreation opportunities of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.

Investment & Taxes With annual property taxes of just $118.92, this represents one of Arizona's most affordable ownership opportunities. The combination of rare paved access, agricultural zoning flexibility, and strategic location between growing communities creates strong long-term value potential.
