37 Acres in Saint Johns, AZ - $29,800

Sierra Highlands Ranch is a majestic wilderness in northern Arizona, nestled among lush stands of piñon pine, juniper woodlands, and broad grassy valleys atop the Little Colorado Plateau at a cool, clear 6,200-foot elevation. Once home to the ancient Anasazi, today it hosts free-roaming herds of elk, antelope, and mule deer—as well as the fortunate few who are claiming their spacious 37-acre off-grid homesteads here.

Owners can choose from a variety of terrains, ranging from densely wooded tracts to a blend of trees and meadows to wide-open pastureland. Many parcels are contour surveyed to include rugged sandstone ridges with dramatic wilderness overlooks. Each property offers uninterrupted, long-range views through clear, pollution-free mountain air.

The exceptional four-season climate is one of the area's most appealing features. Outdoor work is rarely interrupted due to weather. Winters are mild, with less than 18 inches of snow annually—typically falling two to three inches per storm and melting within a couple of days. January's average high temperature is 50°F, while summer highs average in the upper 80s.

Private wells are allowed, and the ranch lies above two secure aquifers: the Coconino Sandstone and the overlying Bidahochi. A community well provides 24/7 water access for hauling. The soil is a fine, tillable sandy loam ideal for growing fruits and vegetables, including apples, cherries, plums, pears, and garden crops.

This secluded location is best suited for those seeking large-acreage ownership, far removed from neighbors, who value the freedom to live and work in a wilderness setting free from urban noise and pollution. All corner markers are set by registered surveyors, and a recorded plat map with property dimensions is provided to each owner.

Access roads are maintained and built along title-insured easements recorded with the county. Residential, recreational, and agricultural zoning allows for livestock, RV use, and camping at the owner's discretion.

Prices start at $29,800 with $2,980 down and monthly payments of $257, serviced by Pioneer Title, Inc., one of the nation’s largest title companies.
