This unique Arizona ranch property is located near the lower left hand corner of this picture, just three miles from Springerville, and is within 15 miles of the Apache National Forest boundary. The property has easy access to the forest and mountains yet is not endangered by forest fires. The Little Colorado River runs in lower right hand corner of photo. John Wayne’s ranch is in the right center.

 

The lower levels of this property are lined with impressive red sandstone cliffs much like these which are a part of the front yard of the home. Much of the east area is divided by rock fences.

 

Back yard of residence. Wall constructed with volcanic rock from the canyon rim that runs across the property above the residence.

 

Entrance road runs along the sand stone cliffs and rock fences which protected a small orchard. Water lines run to the east boundary.  This property is at the end of the road and offers  privacy and unexcelled peace and quiet.

Entrance road view from east shows pasture (left)home(center), barns, wells and horse development area above the barn in the distance. The  Kill Canyon which is located on north west corner of property.

View from rim near north east boundary shows home(center) with underground power, barn, wells etc. Pasture land is shown in front of the residence.

This huge cedar tree is centuries old, preserved by its isolation in the bottom of the canyon.

The property also features a pre-historic kill canyon. Legend has it that the Indians surrounded the wild life in the bottom land along the river and drove them toward what appeared to be an escape trail along the canyon rim. This apparent escape route led into this deep rugged canyon that could only be exited by coming into the area shown in the picture above and then the Indians could kill them from the rocky canyon rim.

This ranch was used successfully as the Tuff Test Bull Station for a number of years. Bulls were on special rations for 100 days and tested for rate of gain and ability to perform on the rough terrain. Above view is of bull test pens with rock fences and retaining walls of feed area. Bulls water at bottom then climb up to feed. Angus bulls are pictured on cliff at bottom of pen near drinker. The west side of the property was planned for horse development program, with much longer trails to water at the top and feed near barn. This property could serve as a ranch in a similar fashion.

This property could also be used for a fish operation and Christmas tree farm. The well produced 75 gal/min with 5 hp set at 100 feet. It also has a wind mill well. Near the southeast corner a neighbor has a well that was tested at 300 gal/min.

The property could also be used as home development. This type of home would be ideal for the south facing property and various drawings and plans for solar homes have been discussed for those who want development property. Power and water are available to the area.
