Property Summary
Discover the rare combination of true remoteness with surprisingly easy access on this 38.5-acre parcel in Woodland Valley Ranch. Well-maintained dirt roads along two property boundaries mean you can reach your land in a standard vehicle, while surrounding public lands ensure the privacy and space you're seeking. Two seasonal streambeds create varied terrain that attracts wildlife and adds natural character to this mostly level grassland property dotted with juniper clusters.
Key Features:
- 38.5 acres of versatile land in Apache County, Arizona
- Maintained dirt road access along northern and eastern boundaries (N6577 Dale Rd. and N6579 Wesley's Way)
- Community well available to all POA members
- Nearby public land including BLM and State Land for hunting, hiking, and exploration
- Two seasonal streambeds running east-west through the property
- Nearly level terrain ideal for RV parking or building sites
- Agricultural-General zoning with minimal restrictions
- POA maintains roads for $200/year
- 30 miles from St. Johns, AZ for supplies
Zoning & Building Freedom:
Apache County's Agricultural-General zoning gives you maximum flexibility for how you use your land. The county actively welcomes alternative building methods including earthships, tiny homes, cordwood construction, and other green builds. Traditional manufactured and mobile homes are also permitted. The POA's light covenants focus on maintaining the area's rural character without limiting your vision for the property. Whether you're planning an off-grid homestead, a weekend camping retreat, or a private agriculture project, this property provides the freedom to build your dream.
Water & Utilities:
This property lies above the Coconino Aquifer, with wells in the area typically reaching water at economical depths, averaging around 200 feet. While the POA provides a community well for all property owners, most owners haul water from St. Johns as their primary water source. For power, you'll want to plan for off-grid solutions like solar panels, which perform exceptionally well in this high-desert environment with over 300 days of sunshine annually.
Access & Road Conditions:
The property benefits from maintained dirt road access that doesn't require a high-clearance or 4WD vehicle under normal conditions. N6579 (Wesley's Way) runs north-south along the eastern side of the property and intersects with N6577 (Dale Rd.), which runs along the northern boundary. The POA grades most roads once annually. Note that surrounding roads can experience temporary flooding during heavy rains - typical for this area's clay soil composition.
Location & Surroundings:
You're positioned in a sparsely-populated area of the Colorado Plateau, surrounded largely by working ranches and public lands. The flat grassland terrain with juniper clusters offers classic high-desert scenery at approximately 6,140 feet elevation. St. Johns (30 miles southwest) provides groceries, gas, restaurants, and schools. For more extensive shopping or medical services, Show Low is 75 miles southwest. The property sits just 2 miles west of the Arizona-New Mexico border and 12 miles east of US-191.
Recreation & Nearby Attractions:
Public lands are located nearby in the area, providing additional opportunities for outdoor recreation including hiking, ATV riding, and hunting. Local wildlife includes pronghorn, elk, deer, and various bird species. In about two-hour drive, you can explore the Petrified Forest National Park to the northwest or the Sitgreaves National Forest to the south, both offering excellent opportunities for hiking, backpacking, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
Climate:
Enjoy ideal high-desert weather year-round at this elevation. Winters are mild and sunny with average January highs around 50°F and occasional light snow that typically melts within a day or two. Summer temperatures reach comfortable upper 80s with cool nights, much more pleasant than Phoenix's extreme heat. The area receives 300+ days of sunshine annually with occasional monsoon rains in summer that bring vibrant greenery and wildflowers.
Pricing:
This remote yet accessible property is priced at $29,400 for a cash purchase. Owner financing is also available with a down payment of $5,690 and monthly payments of $500 for 68 months ($39,690 total). See the "Pricing" section below to secure this property now with only $500!

Rachel made the entire land purchase a "piece of cake". She walked me through everything and was right on top of things. As soon as I sent the money, the deed was notarized and recorded only a couple of days later. I just visited my new property in Wolf Creek Montana today and I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you again 😊
I just purchased a piece of land from Ashbrook Land Co., LLC, and I am very happy with the professional yet personal approach that Bob and Rachel Ashbrook gave to me.The whole process was easy and painless, and only took a couple of days. Everything was done online, but I felt completely secure giving out my personal information, because I think the Ashbrooks are truly honest people to deal with.
Sean and Rachel made the decision to purchase land EASY! Their communication skills are amazing! Their replies are prompt, all the necessary information regarding the property was provided.
