Eighty acres of juniper woodland sitting on a plateau at 6,500 feet is the starting point here. The trees run 25 feet tall in places, there's a seasonal wash through the lower valley section, and the whole thing has the kind of elevation that keeps summer temperatures from getting brutal. For $139,900, that's the land itself — before you count anything else on it.
There's a circle drive in the back corner of the property with three cabins around it. They have some separation from each other, which means room for family, or a guest situation, or the beginning of something rental-oriented if that's where your head goes. Starlink is already installed and positioned to reach all three. Two 40-foot high-cube containers — each 8 by 40 by 9.5 feet — are on site, with a 20-by-40 dome connector that comes with the sale and still needs to be installed. That's a serious amount of covered, weather-proof storage.
The zoning is unrestricted. No HOA, no ranch fees. The driveway easement at 200 feet is shared with Arizona Game and Wildlife Land, and the property gates with private access. It's 15 to 20 minutes south of the I-40 Navajo exit, 30 minutes from Petrified Forest National Park, 45 minutes from Holbrook.
Here's what it needs: septic has to be installed, propane lines have to be run, and each cabin needs a sink, shower, and toilet once septic is in place. Water right now comes from a 325-gallon hauling trailer that stays with the property — you fill it in town for three dollars. This is not a move-in situation. It's a build-out situation, and the gap between what it is now and what it could be requires real work and real money on top of the purchase price.
What the price makes possible is 80 acres of high-elevation Arizona land with infrastructure already started, internet already working, and no one telling you what to do with any of it.
