PROPERTY: This property is located in CONCHO VALLEY UNIT 2 making it a prime lot. Located on the northeast section just east of Concho Lake, this is a true gem because it is located in the most sought after part of Concho. Unit 2 is special because of it’s immediate proximity to the lake, golf course and town. The area is yet to be developed but on the east side of the lake where expansion and utilities will most likely head towards next. Utilities are in the area but not to the actual property line yet. The location is on the back east side of UNIT 2 so even when development occurs there will still be a great view of natural landscape to the east. All taxes are paid current. This property is perfect for investment or rural development. This is one of the most beautiful and spectacular areas of the state. Only 16 percent of Apache County’s land is available for private ownership. The balance is owned by Native Americans, the Government, or is operated by the Bureau of Land Management. Arizona’s growth rate is among the highest in the nation. Census reports show the state grew by nearly 1.5 residents from 1990, when it had more than 3.6 million residents, to more than 5.1 million in 2000. 7.3 million residents are expected by 2010. The land may be used for ranching, camping, hunting, as well as off road recreation. Many visitors come to this area to retreat from the hot temperatures of the Phoenix Metropolitan area. For investment reasons, the property is located about 200 miles from Phoenix (the largest growing metropolitan area in the country for a few years running). This parcel is secluded, lush high country property with spectacular mountain and plain views, ideal year round weather, and is surrounded by world class recreational opportunities. There is convenient shopping and services nearby. Land ownership opportunities of this quality in the west are rare. As a property owner in this area you can declare your independence from metropolitan chaos and escape to a quiet, secluded, enriched life for you and your family for generations to come. Located in the White Mountains, this in close proximity to the towns of Show Low and St. Johns. For the purpose of comparison I have attached a scanned copy of an advertisement in our local newspaper- The Arizona Republic- from August 2010. This was a 1/2 page ad for a development called Concho West Shore. The parcel listed here is approximately 1-2 miles from the Concho West Shore development. As you can see, they are selling “lots that were priced at $250k, just 2 years ago are now as low as $65K”. Their non-lakefront lots start at $35K. I trust you can see the incredible value in my Concho property listed here on auction. I am not associated in any way with Concho West Shore. I am simply making their information available to you because it is so close to my property. 30 miles southwest of Concho is the city of Show Low where there are recreational facilities like aquatics, lakes, trails, skiing, and a casino. The town also has an airport, Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center, education, rural transit system, and a recycling center. Please check here for more information: http://ci.show-low.az.us/ 15 miles east of Concho is the city of St. Johns known for many country festivals, an annual rodeo, and a spectacular 4th of July celebration. St. Johns is the county seat of Apache County. There is excellent shopping, restaurants, and recreation. Please check here for more information: http://www.sjaz.us/ ABOUT CONCHO: The village of Concho, Arizona is located at the northern edge of the White Mountains recreational area of eastern Arizona. Concho is one of the best kept secrets of the White Mountains. Because Concho is “off the beaten path”, the village has been able to keep its small town feel while the residents are still close enough to enjoy all of the amenities of the larger towns. The tourist attractions and business districts of Show Low, Lakeside and Pinetop are just a pleasant 30 minute drive away. Located on Highway 61 in Apache County, the village of Concho was originally settled in the 1800s by New Mexican sheepherders of Basque descent. In the early part of the 1900s, Mormon pioneer families came to settle in the Concho Springs area and the two diverse cultures blended into a unique community. In the 1970’s, a master-planned golf community was developed around Concho Springs and Concho Lake. Concho Valley Golf Course is a public course with an 18 hole championship golf course designed by famed golf course architect, Jack Snyder. Concho Lake is a 130 acre spring-fed reservoir with camping facilities and is stocked annually with rainbow trout. Hon-Dah Casino, Sunrise Ski Resort, hiking trails and many archeological sites are within an easy 40 minute to 2 hour drive from town. The Petrified Forest is 40 minutes away and the Grand Canyon is just a little over 3 hours away. Concho is located at an altitude of 6200’ and enjoys a mild four-season climate. Summer days usually average in the 80’s and 90’s. Winter days will sometimes drop below 30° but average in the 40-50°’s. Concho is in the cedars chaparral area of the White Mountains which means the rainfall and snowfall are less than the tall pines areas (Flagstaff, Show Low) but more than the low desert areas (Phoenix, Tuscon). A normal winter snowfall day in Concho usually is just enough snow in the morning to enjoy a white landscape and then the “solar snowplow” takes over and clears the roads by the afternoon. Summer days are pleasant for outdoor activities while the evenings are cool enough to sit on the porch and stargaze. Wide open vistas let you watch the monsoon storms, sunsets, and blue skies. City pollution is 200 miles away so daytime skies are clear and blue and nighttime stargazing is spectacular. Active retirees and those planning to retire are starting to discover Concho. The area offers great weather, a rural lifestyle, affordable property, and access to a wide range of recreational opportunities. Sports enthusiasts appreciate the close proximity to world-class fishing and hunting available on state, federal and Indian reservation land. Due to the large number of sunny days, good soil and a naturally clean water source, the ranches around Concho are attracting families looking for an eco-conscious lifestyle. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, a wide range of home sites were developed in town. There are ¼ to ½ acre lots for mobile homes, ¼ acre to 1 acre lots for site-built homes and 5 to 20 acre lots with horse privileges. A large portion of these lots offer views of Concho Lake, the golf course, and/or mountains. Surrounding Concho are mini-homestead style ranches of 40 acres and large professional ranches. Three new subdivisions are under construction offering more housing choices: lakefront, golf course condos, and 5 to 20 acre mini-ranches.
