It's nice country, high elevation, cold winters and not near any population centers. Last time I was there, the hunting was pretty good, too. Does seem like a lot of money, compared to other locations? LB

Six acres in good hunting area for $29,900 sounds pretty good to an old fart that lives in a town where an empty city lot will go for more money than that. Problem is, the cost of digging a well, installing septic system and etc. would lkely be cost prohibitive.

I've heard ads for that group on the radio for years and always thought to myself that I only need an area about two feet wide and six feet wide to hold a nice deer as it passed through, or whatever...

Well, that's the thing. I wouldn't be surprised if those six acres had reasonable access up to the Mogollon Rim. It's not what you think of when you think of Arizona. More like the Sierra Nevada lower elevations.
Good hunting. LB

Ive got 40 acres of the same stuff, most of you have been there for a about $1100.00/ acre rolling hills and one seed juniper and a few pinion pines. That windsor valley ranch is way overpriced. but there is no shortage of people willing to buy it.when mine originally sold it was for about $400.00 an acre now thats more like it.

Several years back in this area, a large ranch went into the real estate business targeting out-of-staters with deep pockets and divided their land into 10 and 20 acre units for sale at a sky-high price. The "ranches" offered scenic views with deer and elk in abundance. This was true for the most part, but most of this acreage was steep, rocky, and it was a crapshoot whether water could be hit. Most of the game resided on private land offlimits to hunting. The roads were poor and the nearest WalMart was 2.5 hours away.
They sold these parcels like hotcakes to oblivious buyers who did not read the fine print where the seller retained grazing rights and had first option to buy back the property. Even after signing on the dotted line the seller could still graze "your" land. After a few years many buyers grew tired of sinking money into dry holes and having someones elses cattle grazing in their yards, pulled up stakes and headed back to the city.

Hey Lonny.Same thing down here about ten year's ago they were advertising in the Idaho Statesman 5 acre "ranchette's" for $5000-$10,000 dollar's located in the Owyhee mountain's.
I like the Owyhee's so I called & they sent me some literature so I checked it out..The $5000 dollar parcel's were narrow & probably had a 35%-40% uphill grade they were really steep..
The $10,000 parcel's were ok..But I also felt that hitting water would probably be a crapshoot in the rocky terrain so I dropped it.There wasn't a power line for probably 20 mile's..Remote country's cool but no water is an issue.
I still think about it though..LOL..

Yep Dave, lots of dreams for having a ranch in the mountains are crushed when buyers do not know what drilling a well and building a road might cost. I know a guy who bought one of these high profile view lots and spent more than on twice as much on the road going to his building site and 3 times as much on the well than what the property originally cost. For some of the very wealthy it was no big deal as they could pump in the money necessary. For others it broke them.
