The Land: 36 Acres of Space, Privacy & Natural Beauty

Each 36-acre property in Horizon Ranch offers a remarkable combination of open meadows, rolling terrain, and pockets of mature tree coverage. This variety creates multiple ideal building sites, excellent solar exposure, and the ability to design your homestead exactly the way you want it.

The landscape is classic high-country Arizonawide open, big sky, and endlessly scenic. Long-range views stretch to distant mesas and ridgelines, while gentle hills on the property create natural privacy and depth. Meadow areas are ideal for gardens, orchards, corrals, greenhouses, or building pads, while the tree-covered sections offer natural windbreaks and shade.

Because the land sits at a cool, clear 6,000-foot elevation atop the Colorado Plateau, the air is crisp, clean, and refreshing. This is not desert landthis is high-country ranchland with grasses, wildflowers, wildlife, and a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Elk, deer, and antelope roam the area freely, feeding on the abundant native grasses. Watching wildlife is a regular part of life here, not an occasional treat.

This is land where you can walk for hours in quiet, uninterrupted peace. No traffic noise. No crowds. Just open country, fresh air, and natural silence.

Build when you want

Camp whenever you want

Park an RV full-time

Bring horses, cows, goats, or chickens

Plant gardens, orchards, or food plots
