Property Summary

This 10 acres in Northern Arizona is a FANTASTIC recreational property with astounding views of the painted rock badlands from an elevated perspective. There's easy access (4x4 required) and you'll even drive a section of the Old Route 66 to get to it. A seasonal creek/wash called East Twin Wash cuts through the northeastern corner near where the property gradually transforms into badlands. Bring your off-road toys and explore all of the public lands in this area. There are AZ State Lands and BLM lands nearby, both within 1/2 mile of the property. In addition, the Petrified Forest National Park is only 3 miles away as the crow flies. Electric poles are nearby, only 3/4 mile away. It also lies over the Coconino Aquifer and nearby wells show that the water table averages between 100-200 ft in this area.

This is a true desert oasis and a wonderful location for an off-grid hideout, campground, or retreat of any sort that you can dream up. A slight elevation in the center of the property offers a perfect perch for you to experience stunning views for miles around. The unique landscape offers an unparalleled escape from normality. For example, taking advantage of this landscape a few miles away is a Mad Max-style campground called "Uranium Springs," which hosts a few yearly festivals to create a post-apocalyptic scene, getting you "way beyond the pale of civilization" and into a whole different world. It's an "artistic convergence" unlike anywhere else.

  • NO covenants or restrictions
  • Agricultural-General zoning
  • Includes badlands!
  • Seasonal streambed/wash cuts through corner of property
  • Electric only 3/4 mile away

This land is close to the city of Holbrook (~20 minutes) with plenty of supplies and amenities. To reach the property, exit I-40 at Goodwater (Exit 300), and take the Old Route 66 west (just north of the highway) about 1 mile until you see dirt tracks heading north, and take a right. Then, 3/4 of a mile up the path, look to the west and cross the wash to get to the property. This property is bordered by private land, but there is legal access to the property via easements along all property lines in this area. The above directions utilize a current two-track trail which is likely not a legal road. Please research a plat map, our MapRight app, or the county's GIS map before visiting to understand legal access routes.

Cash price: $7,997

Financing price: $10,800 - Only $500 down and $206/month for 50 months!

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 😊

The Ashbrook Land Company is a superb company. Their communication skills and desire to help you obtain the land of your dreams is top notch. Probably some of the best service I’ve had when buying a piece of land. I would recommend them to anyone.

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.
