Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in St. Johns, Arizona

Red rock terrain, mountain views, roads on 2 sides, 1 mi. to paved CR6040, State Trust Land border, A-General zoning, just 12 min. to St. Johns.

If you've been searching for a piece of northeastern Arizona that actually delivers the scenery, the access, and the flexibility to do something real with it - this is worth a close look.

This 40-acre parcel in River Springs Ranch sits at 6,140 feet in Apache County, featuring the classic red rock, boulder-strewn landscape that makes this corner of Arizona so visually compelling. The terrain rolls naturally, with a central rise surrounded by valleys and a seasonal streambed along the southern edge adding character. From multiple points on the property, you get long-distance views of the surrounding mountains and badlands formations - the kind of views that remind you why you wanted land in the first place.

What sets this parcel apart from most off-grid land in this price range is the access. Roads run along two sides of the property - N6440 to the north and N6414 to the west - and you're just about 1 mile from CR6040, putting you on a quick 12-minute drive to all of St. Johns. The River Springs Ranch POA maintains community roads, which makes a meaningful difference out here. Power lines run along CR6040, roughly 0.8 to 1 mile away, with other parcels in River Springs Ranch already connected - so bringing power to the property is a real option. The area lies over the Coconino Aquifer, with typical well depths around 270 feet.

Apache County's A-General zoning is about as flexible as it gets, welcoming traditional homes, manufactured homes, modular homes, tiny homes, earthships, rammed earth construction, and more. The River Springs Ranch POA has modest covenants - residential and recreational use, road maintenance, livestock allowed (no swine), and flush toilets required for any permanent residence. State Trust Land borders the property to the north and east, giving you open space and recreational access adjacent to your land with the appropriate permits.
