If you’re looking for extreme privacy at an affordable price tag, this is a great property. You have 2.5 acres to work with, but no neighbors or towns for miles. This isn’t in a subdivision. It’s part of what used to be a larger 40-acre parcel, but has since been divided up and is completely uninhabited. The west side of this lot shares a boundary with 7,680 acres of state land. So your 2.5 acres will feel like thousands. At this price, that’s hard to beat.
The deed to this property references a 30-foot easement along the north and west boundaries of the parcel for roadway. No roads are currently built, but that’s where they should run when they’re put in.
Joseph City is just 10-15 minutes away. There, you’ll find the legendary Jackrabbit Trading Post – a Route 66 icon. Joseph City has some basic services, but Winslow and Holbrook are bigger and just a few exits down the highway in either direction. Homolovi State Park is just a few miles west, near Winslow, and the Petrified Forest National Park is east, past Holbrook. Both parks feature some great hiking and sight-seeing.
Your new property is in the heart of Arizona’s Painted Desert. This beautiful piece of the American Southwest, just off Route 66, features excellent panoramic views and an abundance of privacy. If you like to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine on quiet afternoons, this area can’t be beat. Use the property for occasional camping or make long-term plans to build an off-grid home. This parcel is a great low-cost option to get started! With few restrictions and no timeline to build, you have the freedom to use the land on your terms.
The Holbrook area was inhabited first by the Anasazi, then Puebloans, then the Navajo and Apache. In 1540, Coronado searched for the Seven Cities of Cibola and camped some sixty miles east of Holbrook. Coronado sent an expedition west to find the Colorado River, and they crossed the Little Colorado about twenty-five miles east of Holbrook and found a wonderland of colors they named “”El Desierto Pintada”” – The Painted Desert.
