About the Off Grid Ranches
Home on the Range Properties is brokered by Amazing Options Realty in northern Arizona. There are a half dozen Ranches that were split up back in the late 90's. Mostly I focus on my favorite one. But will work a couple others depending on your personal needs.
Westwood Ranch is just one of many. In between Ash Fork and Seligman, about 9 miles off Historic Route 66. It has two mountains on the property. Mount Floyd and Round Mountain, both create a multitude of terrain changes. Allowing for Hillside, Treed, Meadow, Canyon, Ridge top, you name it when you are talking a Ranch that is 130,000 acres !
There is at least 100 miles of maintained roads on the Ranch. About half the property owners are part of the Road Association. Paying a fee of 285.00 per year. If your property does not fall within the road maintenance area. You can volunteer to join the Road Co-Op at 125.00 per year.
There is State Trust Land checker boarded through about 2/3rd of the Ranch. Most are full sections equal to 640 acres each or one mile square. We usually have a few parcels that back to these sections. 40 acres is equal to 1/4 mile square. Plenty of free roaming here.
The original rancher had surface water rights and built 30 stock tanks. He still owns and maintains all the stock tanks and land around them. The nice thing about them is that it allows for an abundance of wildlife.
There are typically 20 or so parcels available. Some owner financed with 50% down and no qualifying ! Sometimes parcel are available for a little less with owner financing. And some sell for cash and offer discounted prices.
If you have $10,000 down, we can help you secure your own great off grid property. All though rare, we do come across minimum 10 acres parcels. Taxes average 300.00 dollars a year on 40 acres.
The best way to consider a purchase is to ask lots of questions, then get out and look at the land. If you like what you see in my ads, we can schedule an appointment to meet up and visit the Ranches. A visit really is the only way to find were and what you’re looking for. The Ranches sells itself. It is a lot of fun and still amazing to me that you can own such a large piece of forested real estate.
Today’s advances in technology make it possible to develop it outside the grid. Folks living on the Ranch use, solar, wind, propane and backup generators. They also haul or have water delivered for a penny a gallon from Ash Fork or Seligman. Most have set up water catch systems as well. You are allowed by State law to drill a well. On this ranch the water table is deep. I do not know of anyone who has attempted drilling. There are rumors of shallow hand dug wells by the original homesteaders, but not confirmed.
There are a couple other ranches that are at lower elevations that have community wells. With a water table averaging 900 - 1200 ft, but they also have HOA fees. The prices average a bit higher per 40 acres. I show and sell these properties as well.
