Property Description
The ranch is contained in one primary block being 6 miles from north to south and 11 miles from east to west at the widest points. The ranch is more or less rectangle with State Highway 180A crossing through the central portion from north to south and County Highway 5020 crossing through the southern edge of the ranch from east to west. Range improvements are typical with perimeter fencing and interior cross-fencing. There are no headquarter building improvements on the ranch, only shipping corrals and holding traps.

The large block of deeded land located along Highway 180A contains a typical set of livestock shipping corrals and several dirt tanks for livestock water. The current owner has an agreement with the Concho sewer company to utilize effluent water for potentially irrigating 300 acres of pastureland. Historically the pasture has not been irrigated, but could possibly be put into production in the future.

The second deeded block located in Mail Station Draw includes nearly 100 acres of fallow farm land. The farm has historically been irrigated with water claims including 1,248 acre feet per annum storage rights located in three separate reservoirs, 300 acre feet per annum underground sub-flow and an irrigation well capable of producing 800 gallons per minute. The irrigation well equipment is in place, but has not been used for several years, operating condition is unknown, the well is powered by electricity. The farm is irrigated by head gates and dirt ditches. Amount of available water depends heavily on the annual rainfall and varies significantly from year to year.

Elevation ranges from 5,500' in Mail Station Draw near the north boundary to 6,000' near the south eastern boundary near State Highway 61. Vegetation is Plains & Desert Grassland with Pinion/Juniper woodlands intermixed. Rainfall averages 17.2" per year at Show Low and 11.2” per year at St. Johns.

Area Description
