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.

Spreading out across a heavily forested expanse of prime northern Arizona high country land, these spacious 7 to 16 acre estates are for the first time being released for private deeding. No other forested land in the sought after White Mountains of northeastern Arizona can be purchased with their location, features, freedom of use, and affordable seller financing.
The properties are situated 15 miles east of Show Low and have direct access of off paved highway 60. Show Low is the commercial hub of the White Mountains offering a broad selection of shopping, automotive, medical, construction and service related businesses.
You can visit the Show Low chamber of commerce website at http://showlowaz.gov/. The properties are one mile from the border of Arizona’s most sought after recreational land, the Sitgreaves National Forest. The forest teems with over 36 alpine lakes, hundreds of miles of free flowing trout streams and the State’s best big game hunting. http://www.fs.usda.gov/asnf/ The State’s best ski runs are only a short drive away at the Sunrise Ski Resort where eight lifts provide access to three mountains of alpine runs. http://sunriseskiparkaz.com/ The weather in this portion of the White Mountains is ideal. At 6,900 feet the air at this elevation is crisp and pure, the clear nighttime sky arrayed with the majestic beauty of the Milky Way. Summertime temperatures are in the very comfortable 70’s & 80s. Winters are brisk but never severe. A white Christmas from the area’s several light snowfalls is common.
A thick mantle of mature pinon pine and rocky mountain juniper covers each parcel, providing both privacy and seclusion for each lot’s selection of building sites. Several lots have open view corridors into the national forest mountains to the south, yet all two story cabins and homes will have uninterrupted views across the forest’s expanse from their picture windows and upper decks.
Domestic water is available to three of the tracts. Tracts 1, 4, & 5 each have domestic water lines along a portion of the boundaries. (see surveyors map for the water line location). Tracts 2 & 3 are approximately 200+ feet from the pressurized lines. A will serve letter has been issued by the local water company for all lots in Skyline Ranch, although lots 2 & 3 will require the extension of the water lines at the new owner’s cost. This is a relatively inexpensive trenching expense, when compared to the expense of having to drill a private well currently costing $15,000 or more. Power service also runs along the boundaries of tracts 1, 4, & 5. Tracts 2 & 3 are but a short inexpensive extension away. Contact your First United Realty agent for current extension fees. All interior roads are completed and are surfaced with crushed cinder. Septic tanks are approved by the county to handle wastewater and are easily and inexpensively installed in this region of northern Arizona.
There are no CC&R’s and there is no homeowner association.. All building and septic tank permits are issued through Apache County. Owners may build the architectural style of their choice. RV use is permitted. Each lot can be repartitioned into small lots for either investment or estate planning purposes. Ask your First United Realty agent for the details.
