Shadow Rock, Sierra Verde and Juniper Mountain Ranches - General Info

Sat, 18 May 2013 15:43:52 -0700

Shadow Rock, Sierra Verde and Juniper Mountain Ranches are located generally southwest of Seligman, Arizona which is on Interstate 40 between Flagstaff and Kingman. The area of the Juniper Mountains is heavily wooded in many places with Juniper and Pinon Pine Trees.

Shadow Rock Ranch has an article that explains much of its features. See that article here. There are around 118 lots in Shadow Rock Ranch. All were originally 36 acres or more. There are lots of trees in this development. Elevations run from about 5,700 feet to 6,200 feet. Here is a map and a flyer about Shadow Rock Ranch. I dominate this neighborhood. I presently have eight to ten listings there.

Sierra Verde Ranch has around 1,800 lots. Shadow Rock Ranch is within the outside boundaries of Sierra Verde Ranch. This ranch has more variety as it covers a much larger area. Some lots are in the open, nearly level land. Some of the lots are similar to Shadow Rock at around the same elevations.

Juniper Mountain Ranches are mostly located near Anvil Rock Road which starts at I-40, Exit 109 and runs mostly south. There is no Home Owner Association in Juniper Mountain Ranches. A few of the lots in Juniper Mountain Ranches have trees but many are on nearly level open ground. I am getting new listings in this area. Please call for more information.

Here is a link to my map of Ranch Developments in the area near Seligman, Arizona. This map shows the locations of the three main developments. All were developed around 36-Acre minimums. This map is designed to print on tabloid (11" by 17") paper.

If you want to see these properties, be prepared for hiking over rough, steep and rocky terrain. There are very few real estate signs on these lots. Most lots are irregular in shape and property corners are not usually marked. You will need assistance in finding your way as well as finding specific properties. The subject areas cover an area that is about 25 miles square or 625 square miles.

There is LOTS of open space. This area was developed within an area with the checkerboard pattern of land use. See my article about how this happened and what it means to you.

These developments near Seligman, Arizona were based on minimum lot sizes of 36 acres. The land is zoned residential but is generally used for camping. Very few lots have cabins or homes built on them. There are very few wells in the area as the lots are not used frequently. One can buy a lot of water for what a well costs. Many of the cabins are rough and unfinished.

If you want a turn-key property, you may want to look closer to Prescott and be prepared to pay much higher prices. There are a few specific listings which you may want to consider:

Lot 4 in Shadow Rock Ranch
Lot 10 in Shadow Rock Ranch
29775 Ridge Runner Road in Sierra Verde Ranch

Do not ask to see specific properties until you have decided that you want to be in the area. (this part of Arizona).

Be prepared to pay cash for your purchase. There is NO financing via institutional lenders because there are NO comps. Very few institutional lenders will loan using land as collateral. Most of the land in this area was sold with low money down and interest rates around 11%.

A few sellers are willing to do "Owner May Carry" financing. DO NOT PLAN ON OWNER CARRY FINANCING unless you have at least 25% of the ASKING price to put down. I may ask for details of how you plan to do this before wasting at a day of each other's time to show you properties.

Almost all the roads are dirt. Many roads are not passable in wet weather due to boggy, rough or slipery conditions. Some places are steep and a few are hazardous due to steep side slope conditions (eg Our Street). If you want easy access via paved roads, don't expect a lot of privacy.
