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

Juniper-covered high desert bordering State Trust Land, with 24/7 shared well access, flexible A-General zoning.

Located in the G-Bar Ranch community of Apache County, this 37.5-acre parcel offers the kind of flexibility that's tough to find on rural land: A-General zoning permits single-family homes, modular and manufactured homes, and alternative construction methods including cordwood, rammed earth, cobb, earthships, and tiny homes under 600 square feet with streamlined county review. Full-time RV living is allowed once connected to an approved septic system.

The terrain rolls gently upward to the north, covered in juniper and high-desert brush that offers natural privacy. State Trust Land runs along the entire southern boundary, giving you that much more open country to explore. Wildlife commonly seen in the area includes mule deer, pronghorn, elk, and coyote.

Access comes in off Hwy 191 via POA-maintained roads, about 2.7 miles in. As a G-Bar Ranch owner, you'll also have 24/7 access to the community's shared water well for hauling - a real head start while you're getting set up on the land, though usage limitations apply. The POA itself is low-key: residential and recreational use only, non-commercial hobby ranching allowed (no swine), and dues are just $275/year covering road maintenance.
