Property Description
242 acres located on Highway 77 that backs up to Federal and State land. It is a 75-mile freeway drive from both the Phoenix East Valley and North Tucson.
The property borders approximately 25 square miles of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. The BLM land has access through our back property line, limited access through a handful of other private properties and no practical public access. A 2.5-mile hike from our property through the BLM land leads to the Needle's Eye Wilderness. The Needle's Eye Wilderness area is one of the most scenic and spectacular areas of Arizona that is virtually undiscovered. It includes a portion of the Gila River with steep-walled canyons and thick riparian growth.
The recreation, hunting and hiking opportunities in this area are transformational. The BLM rates the recreational potential of this area, "Mescal Mountains," as "3-High"--the highest rating possible. Animal species in this area include Javelina, Big Horn Sheep, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Elk, Rabbit, Quail, Squirrel, Mule and White Tail Deer. In addition, there are raptor species including the bald eagle. There is also a public boat ramp on the Gila River a few miles from the property on Highway 77.
The beauty of this property is spectacular. It is framed by two mountain ranges, the Mescal Mountains to the north and the Dripping Springs Mountains to the south. There also are rock-climbing areas nearby, including Tam O'Shanter.
Although secluded and private, shopping, restaurants and medical facilities are located in the nearby communities of Globe, Kearney and Superior. The City of Globe, founded in 1875, is currently undergoing a revitalization of the historic community and downtown area with a vineyard/wine tasting room, art galleries and unique restaurants.
Dripping Springs, as one of the 17 best places for stargazing in the United States. Clear skies and lack of ambient light make the sky beam with star light when the sun goes down. And the sunsets remind one of an Ed Mell painting with a colorful sky and mountain ranges.
One mile southwest of the City of Globe, Arizona, stand the remains of a large pueblo village, Besh Ba Gowah, constructed by the Salado culture who occupied the region between 1225 and 1450. In more recent history, our property and adjacent lands were inhabited by Apache Native Americans.
And for those interested in golfing and gambling, the Apache Gold Casino is only a 25-mile drive away!
This property is zoned RR-PAD which would allow construction of over 200 single family homes, 12 multifamily residences and/or commercial development.
A hydrologic study has been conducted of the property which sits on a bountiful aquifer that has few users. There is enough water underneath the property to support the above-described development for over 100 years with little impact on the aquifer or adjacent wells. There is a registered well on the property with a water table at 65 feet from ground level.
There is an electric line on the property. The electric service is provided by the San Carlos Irrigation Project which is a federally owned and managed electric utility. Solar energy potential is great with plenty of sunshine, clear skies and the majority of the property facing south.
The property is outlined with a down arrow pointing to it. SR 77 runs through the southwest portion of the property. Property colored white is private, yellow is federal BLM, and blue is State Trust land. To the east of the property with an arrow pointing east is the Needle's Eye Wilderness area which is colored gold.
This is a legacy property on which to live, ranch, recreate, establish a family legacy and/or develop. It also would prove ideal as a prepper property as one could survive off the grid with a private water source, solar energy, ranching, farming and hunting.
