A
sprawling 28,000 acre wilderness sanctuary located along the upper reaches of the Little
Colorado River in the White Mountain area of northeastern Arizona. This seasonally flowing
river attracts an abundance of wildlife from miles around and has contributed to an
unusually plentiful groundwater supply.
The White Mountains are an impressive mountain wilderness range in this
scenic region of Arizona. The area has been a prime vacation/weekend-retreat choice of
Arizonans for decades. Its cool summers, mild winters, stunning natural scenery and
crystal-clear air are a refreshing departure from the smog and congestion of the city. The
area's huge forest expanses (mostly protected Federal and State) abound with fish and
game. Charming country towns, numerous lakes, golf courses, historic sites and more round
out the attractions. But privacy, seclusion, freedom of land ownership and laid-back
lifestyle are still the main reasons why so many have responded to our large-parcel
wilderness ranches there.
Situated in this prime vacation land is RIVER MEADOWS RANCH, a large and varied
selection of approximately 40-acre parcels (also 80's and 160's) apportioned from private
farm and ranch holdings. Parcels offer a broad range of terrain selections. Here you can
choose from dense stands of evergreens throughout, blends of trees and meadows,
rugged-highset wooded ridge tops, and all open pastureland. Some border the Little
Colorado River and State Trust Lands. These expansive 640 acre wilderness tracts are
reserved within a State Trust and provide a quiet, scenic backdrop for ranch owners.
You're bound to find your perfect fit here. And all at a summer-cool, winter-mild 5600' or
so elevation.
The land remains in a pristine natural condition. Anasazi Indian
artifacts are still found throughout the area. Local owners commonly retrieve pottery
shards, spear points and arrowheads that were crafted by the Anasazi over 1,000 years ago.
Most of RIVER MEADOWS RANCH is but a short spin from
Snowflake and Show Low, both inviting country towns with an ample assortment of shopping,
service, recreation, medical and church facilities. A bit eastward, the small community of
Concho beckons, with a fine trout lake and public golf course.
WEATHER
The Mogollon Rim and the White
Mountains, west and south of the ranch respectively, form an almost continuous barrier
protecting the land from severe winters and creating a mild four season climate.
WATER
Domestic and irrigation water is
via private wells - you drill your own. Depths to water are economical. As a RIVER MEADOWS RANCH property owner
you have access to the Coconino Aquifer, the largest groundwater supply in Northern
Arizona. Economical windmill-driven pumping is quite practical and common. (Caution: as
you look into land - from us, from anyone - be sure to determine the availability of
underground water and the depth, hence the economy and practicality of drilling a well, to
that water. Many otherwise attractive properties fail badly on this score, underground
water being of questionable quantity for domestic use. This should definitely be
considered in connection with both the usability and the price of the property! As just
detailed, RIVER MEADOWS RANCH is outstanding in the water category.)
