Experience Painted Desert Beauty with Mountain Views

This 20-acre property showcases northeastern Arizona's dramatic high-desert landscape with a distinctive mesa in the northwest corner providing elevated views across the painted desert. The East Twin Wash, a seasonal streambed, meanders north-south through the center of the property, creating a dynamic water feature during monsoon season while leaving buildable terrain on surrounding ground. Whether you're seeking a remote retreat with commanding views or a basecamp for exploring the Painted Desert region, this property delivers an authentic high-desert experience at an exceptional price point.

What Makes This Property Special:

The mesa in the northwest corner serves as a natural overlook to the painted desert terrain surrounding the property. BLM land touches the northwest corner of the property, with State Trust Land just 0.38 miles to the east, providing immediate access to thousands of acres for hiking, camping, and recreation. At just $570 per acre, this property offers remarkable value for painted desert landscape with bordering public lands.

Off-Grid Potential:

• Economical well depths, averaging 100 feet in the area
• 280-300+ days of sunshine annually for solar power
• Power lines 1.11 miles away if preferred
• Mostly level terrain with excellent building sites
• Large wash with possibility for small catchment/retention pond (buyer to verify with Arizona Department of Water Resources and Navajo County)

Recreation & Wildlife: The property lies in Game Management Unit 2A with hunting opportunities for elk and mule deer, both commonly seen in the area along with coyotes. Sitgreaves National Forest is 1 hour 10 minutes away, and Lyman Lake State Park (1 hour 32 minutes) offers fishing and boating. With BLM land on the corner and State Trust Land nearby (accessible with affordable annual permits), you have immediate access to extensive public lands for exploration and outdoor activities.

Access & Important Disclosures: Legal access is via easements around property boundaries. Physical access is via dirt roads and easements with multiple washes along the route--high-clearance vehicle required, 4x4 strongly recommended, especially during or after wet weather.

Zoning & Flexibility: Agricultural-General zoning provides maximum flexibility for rural property use. Build a single-family dwelling (site-built, manufactured home, or factory-built building), place an RV temporarily (up to 30 days once per year without permit, or up to one year with Temporary RV Permit), or use for recreational camping. RV living is allowed during construction when a Building Permit is issued. Full-time permanent residence requires a permitted dwelling.

This property stands out even in a region known for dramatic desert beauty. The combination of a mesa with mountain views, seasonal streambed, immediate BLM access, nearby State Trust Land, and convenient Interstate 40 proximity creates exceptional value. At just $570 per acre cash, properties offering this level of natural features with public land access and highway convenience are rare finds in northeastern Arizona.
