Residential & Recreational Lots In Eastern Arizona
Build Your House, Cabin, Tiny House, Or RV Or Camp Off Grid In This Beautiful Area
These lots are in the beautiful rural undeveloped subdivisions of Witch Well Ranches and Scholarship Estates in Apache County, Arizona. Most of the properties we have for sale are about 1.25 acres and we are selling them in groups of 6 or more. You can build on each 1.25 acre lot, or on none, or anything in between. They're about two miles from the intersection of US Highway 91 and Arizona Highway 61. The Witch Well Tavern is located at that intersection. Each lot has platted road access. The roads in Witch Well Ranches Unit 4 and Scholarship Estates were re-graded a few years ago. When the subdivisions were laid out the lots were marked with pins. Also we have excellent plat maps with property locations and dimensions. You will access these properties from County Road N7200. We also have two larger 5 acre properties in Unit 5 of Witch Well Ranches.
There are no restrictions on RVing or camping in Apache County.
