In the cool highlands of northeastern Arizona, set amid a lush wilderness ecosystem of evergreen woodlands, nutrient rich native grasses and rich sandy loam garden soils are the 36 acre homesteads of Sierra Mountain Ranch. At an average elevation of 6,200 feet above sea level, these spacious properties enjoy pure mountain air and cool refreshing temperatures amid incomparable seclusion and privacy. Sierra Mountain Ranch is a sprawling 11,000 acre wilderness sanctuary in the White Mountain area of eastern Arizona. The White Mountains are an impressive mountain wilderness range in this scenic region of Arizona. The area has been the vacation/weekend retreat choice of Arizonans for decades. Its cool summers, mild winters, stunning natural scenery and clear air are a refreshing departure from the smog and congestion of the city. The area’s huge forest expanses (mostly protected Federal lands) abound with fish and game. Charming country towns, numerous lakes, hiking trails and historic sites round out the attractions. The ranch’s woodlands are sanctuary to free roaming herds of stately elk, antelope and mule deer that peacefully graze its grassy meadows. Undisturbed, they can be seen grazing in the ranch’s lush grasslands throughout the seasons. Wildlife conservation corridors have been established within the ranch to allow their continued access and to preserve their presence in it.. Ranch parcels offer a range of contours and landscapes. Here you can chose from dense stands of evergreens throughout, blends of trees and meadows, high set wooded ridge lines, or all rich pastureland. Many border beautiful State Trust lands. These sprawling 640 acre natural landscapes provide a quiet scenic backdrop to adjoining Sierra Mountain Ranch owners. Zoned for recreational, residential and agricultural use, owners have the freedom to use their land in a wide variety of ways. Camping, RV’s, 5th wheels and cabin construction are at the pleasure of the property owner. There are no requirements to build and no time requirements to finish construction. Horse and livestock privileges are included. Maintained roads constructed upon recorded perimeter easements provide title insured access to each property.
