20+ Acres of High Desert Freedom with Painted Desert Views

Discover your gateway to Arizona's most spectacular high desert landscape on this exceptional 20.23-acre property in Navajo County. Located just one mile north of Petrified Forest National Park and 1.3 miles south of Interstate 40, this rectangular parcel offers the perfect balance of wilderness access and practical connectivity that's increasingly rare in today's market.

Unmatched Location and Access

This property sits in the heart of Arizona's famous Painted Desert region at an elevation of 5,310 feet, where sweeping views stretch to every horizon. Direct road frontage along Sun Country Road provides year-round access, while the proximity to I-40 means you're never more than 20 minutes from Holbrook's full services or 1.5 hours from Flagstaff's urban amenities. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway runs just 0.75 miles south, connecting this land to the historic transportation corridors that built the American West.

Power and Practical Advantages

Unlike most remote Arizona properties, this land benefits from APS power lines just 1/4 mile to the north—a significant advantage that eliminates the need for extensive utility runs. The property sits above the reliable Coconino Aquifer, where area wells typically reach water at 100-300 feet. With A-General zoning and no POA restrictions, you have complete freedom to build a traditional home, manufactured housing, or alternative structures according to your vision.

Recreational Paradise at Your Doorstep

Step outside your door into some of America's most unique terrain. Petrified Forest National Park's 346 square miles of petrified wood forests, colorful badlands, and ancient petroglyphs begin just one mile south. The surrounding high desert offers unlimited opportunities for hiking, rockhounding, photography, and off-road exploration across vast stretches of public land. With minimal light pollution and over 300 days of sunshine annually, this location provides ideal conditions for stargazing, solar power, and outdoor living.

Development Flexibility and Investment Potential

The gently undulating terrain with desert shrubland vegetation offers multiple building sites while maintaining the property's natural character. A-General zoning permits single-family homes, manufactured housing, agricultural uses, and home-based businesses. The 30-day annual camping allowance makes this perfect for recreational use while you plan future development.

Climate and Lifestyle

This area enjoys a high desert climate with comfortable year-round temperatures, mild winters, and low humidity that makes summer heat more pleasant. The four-season climate supports a growing season ideal for high-desert gardening and small-scale agriculture. This elevation also provides relief from the extreme heat of lower desert regions while maintaining the clear skies and dramatic landscapes that define Arizona living.
