5 Acres Arizona Residential Ranch Land /Colorado Plateu

5 Acres Prime Arizona Ranch Land 

Near Winslow Town

This large lot in the Arizona Rancheros Subdivision is actually made up of 7 standard lots, making this a rare find and much larger then other parcels offered in the subdivision. This property would make a great future home site or real estate investment.

This parcel provides an excellent short to long-term investment in an area that has all of the conveniences of an urban development but located in a private and rural like setting. This is one of the most beautiful and spectacular areas of the state.

The parcel is located in the secluded high county of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona. Grasslands punctuated with stands of pinon-juniper pines that grade into Ponderosa Pine and Aspen at higher elevations are characteristic of the region. The terrain of the region is typically flat to rolling with frequent outcrops of ancient sandstone and deeply incised river canyons. Nearby are the dramatic geological formations of the San Francisco Peaks, the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert and Monument Valley.

Navajo County has a rich cultural history and has been inhabited for at least two thousand years. Evidence of the some of the earliest inhabitants (Ancestral Puebloans or Anasazi) are remarkably well preserved and include intact buildings and structures as well as beautifully decorated pottery that is found throughout the region. The county is also home to the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe. Many of the important events in the history of the American West also transpired nearby.

The climate is generally mild with 300 days of sunshine a year. World class recreational opportunities are available in Navajo County along with the convenience of shopping and services located in charming Flagstaff in neighboring Coconino County only 102 miles away. The major communities in Navajo County include Holbrook 12 miles away (the county seat), Winslow 45 miles away (made famous by the Eagles song), and beautiful Show Low 60 miles away.

< p>Land ownership opportunities of this quality in the west are rare. Only 20 percent of Navajo County's land is available for private ownership. The balance is owned by Native Americans, the State, and the Federal Government (National Park Service, National Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management). As a property owner in this area you can declare your independence from metropolitan chaos and escape to a quiet, secluded, enriched life for you and your family for generations to come.

< p>The land may be used for ranching, camping, hunting, hiking, as well as off road recreation. Navajo County is heavily utilized by the population of the Phoenix Metropolitan area as a pleasant retreat from the hot summer temperatures and as a playground for winter activities particularly within the Sitgreaves National Forest about 47 miles away.
