0.42 acre of land for sale in Holbrook, Arizona about 3.5 hours NE of Phoenix and 1.5 hours E of Flagstaff. It sits close to Interstate 40 and has views of the mesas in the Petrified Forest National Park and Painted Desert! It's made up of 2 adjoining lots being sold together and there's power close
The first set of photos was taken about 1/2 mile NW of the property near the cell phone tower in January 2016. The second set of photos was taken in July 2021 1/2 mile W along Pima Street. Pima Street is a graveled sandy road along the south.
Take Sun Valley Road north off Interstate 40 to Pima Street, then E to the lots. There is a fence running along the south of the property and you will need to verify with the parcel map how to come in. In the aerial photos it looks like there is a break in the fence line just 3 lots to the east and then an overgrown dirt road leads along the fence line to the lots.
A jackrabbit raced along the road as I pulled up - too cute! Looking west down Pine Street about 1/2 mile away from the lots.

Hiding really still so I dont see him! Ha!

Looking east down Pine Street - the property sits on the left hand side of the road. You can see the power sitting at the end of the block m and the fence line that runs along the south of the lots.

The area is mostly flat with scattered vegetation. There's several scattered homes in the area from the SW to the SE. It's a wide open view of the Colorado Plateau and in the far distance are peeks at the mesas.

To the NW about 1/2 of a mile is a cell phone tower.

From the SE to the S is a pretty view across the valley to the mesas by the Petrified Forest National Park.
Woodruff Butte rises to 5,633 feet across the valley to the South about 13 miles. Woodruff is a picturesque little town off the beaten path in Navajo County.
And way across the other side of the valley are the White Mountains, home of Smile4u Inc!
The onramp onto Interstate 40 sits 1 mile SW. There's some gravel piles by the onramp I assume are for the roads in the wintertime.

Awww look at that - Buddy was out here helping me! RIP My Little Man!
I have been here a few times now and have easily found painted and stamped pottery as well as petrified wood! I've read that the painted pottery is about 1000 years old and the stamped pottery is 10,000 years old. It sits about 20 minutes west of the Petrified Forest National Park which documents over 13,000 years of human occupation in this area! Part of the park contains the Painted Desert, a strangely beautiful landscape with intriguing land forms with multi-colored layers - truly a magnificent sight! I collected this pile a few years ago!

Here's a bit of information about the petrified wood from their website: "Petrified wood found in the park and the surrounding region is made up of almost solid quartz. Each piece is like a giant crystal, often sparkling in the sunlight as if covered by glitter. The rainbow of colors is produced by impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon, and manganese."
The White Mountains are considered the playground for people in the Phoenix and Tucson areas who wish to escape to the cooler temperatures of the higher altitude. It's the home of the Apache/Sitgreaves National Forests and White Mountain Apache Reservation. It is the second highest mountain range in Arizona. It's also home of Smile4u!
In the past few years I've fished a few lakes, hiked a few canyons, found Native American pottery shards and petrified wood, taken quad rides, harvested a Christmas tree from the forest, driven over a few one lane bridges, seen a few waterfalls, floated the creek, seen a couple hundred beautiful sunsets, adopted a homeless cat we named Winslow, explored pueblo ruins of the Native Americans, and spotted herds of elk and antelope.

The Apache/Sitgreaves National Forests, often called the White Mountains, and White Mountain Apache Reservation is the second highest mountain range in Arizona. It is very diverse geographically and culturally and known for it’s outstanding fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, golfing and in the winter months cross-country, downhill skiing and snowmobiling. It is home to more than 400 species of animals including antelope, elk, deer, fish, big horn sheep, mountain lions, black bears and gray wolves. With over 450 miles of streams and 50 lakes with over 2000 surface acres of cold water lakes, many fisherman, bird watchers and hunters are drawn to the area. It also offers winter time recreational fun like skiing and snowmobiling.
Here are a few of my fishing adventures these past few years: I fell in love with Big Lake in November 2015 and included a few photos of fisherman out having fun! It is considered one of the White Mountains best fishing lakes because of its size and amount of trout caught. I asked these guys what they were catching and they said catch and release trout because they had so many fish already.
Fishing at Black Canyon Lake on my 52nd birthday! I caught my face and my middle finger!
The first fish I caught in the White Mountains was this giant blue gill on the Fort Apache Reservation near the Salt River Canyon! I let him go!
Within two or three hours are some of the most interesting Indian ruins and parks to explore including Canyon de Chelly, Window Rock, Monument Valley, Walnut Canyon and Wuptaki National Monument. My favorite spot to take visitors is to the Wukoki ruin which is part of the Wuptaki National Monument near Flagstaff. It resembles an old castle and is enormous and makes me marvel at how they made it by hand!
If you look closely you can see Buddy standing on the steps on the right hand side!

One of the greatest adventures in my lifetime was my trip in 2017 to Monument Valley which sits about 200 miles NE of Holbrook. I met up with a Navajo guide Roger for a jeep tour of Mystery Valley and Monument Valley. At one point he beckoned me to sit beside him as he painted a Kokopeli with sand on a rock in front of one of the ruins. He first spent a moment touching the rock with his hands, feeling it. I sat quietly and watched so mesmerized by how quickly the image came to life.
.JPG)
Roger had been joking with us that if we listened we would hear the Kokopelis flute calling us to him. Apparently he calls all the ladies, a modern day Casanova. He was said to travel to villages bringing the change of winter to spring, carrying a sack of seeds and songs on his back. He is the source of human conception and everyone would sing and dance when they heard his flute. The next morning every maiden in the village would be with child.
.JPG)
When we were done I said we should say a prayer or something - it was so spiritual. And before we left Roger walked over to the rock and said a quick prayer then used a stick to erase the image. I asked him what he had said in his native tongue and it was something along the lines of "I did not have the right to draw on this rock and I have erased it to show respect."

In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt set the land aside as a National Monument. Petrified wood is a fossil of a fallen trees that became a rock and they are strewn about the park.
The badlands are incredibly unique painted landscapes called the Painted Desert and can be seen in the northern part of the park. This is definitely my favorite part! I ran across badlands on my first visit ever to Navajo County while out exploring land by Sun Valley which is about 20 miles east of the park. It's called Little Lithodendron Wash, also known as Carrizo Wash. She is so stunning that I stop by every time I visit the area!
They have documented over 13,000 years of human occupation in the park. While reading about the preshitoric people who have called this home I got chills, hairs stood up on my arm! Some of the same tools and pottery found in the park are on my own property! I read that you can actually hike and horseback many trails within the badlands in the park.

Property Maps
Prior to visiting the property I suggest you study the maps and the satellite image as they tell the story on how to get there. Get a mental picture of how to get to a property from a main road. I frequently write notes on how I got to the property.
Print out the important maps like the parcel map, aerial photo with the GPS coords and street map. These are the maps I use myself if I was going to view the property. You can enter the latitude and longitude into Google or Bing maps by putting a comma between them.
I also suggest you bring a street dedicated GPS like a Garmin, not your phone. Do not rely on your GPS to take you the correct way as she'll take you down miles of roads that aren't the main drags. I've named mine Thelma and Louise because she's tried to drive me off a cliff a few times! If I could just get Brad Pitt to sit in the back seat! : )
Most of the properties I sell are down some kind of dirt road - my favs! Be smart and bring a shovel, water, food, blankets, mace, a dog and anything else you might need if you get stuck for a day or two. I've been stuck in the sand, a marsh, had tires blow out - you name it. Be prepared, be safe, and have fun. She's a beautiful Earth. We only get one shot here - get out there and see all she has to offer. Char the Explorer : )

Apache and Navajo County Area Information
Apache County has a population of about 69,423 and encompasses 11,216 square miles. The Apache and Navajo Indian Reservations cover more than 65.4% of the county and more land is designated Indian Reservation than any other county in the USA. Approximately 21 percent is public land and 13.2 is privately owned so majority of the land is not for sale. Its also home of the Petrified Forest National Park and Canyon de Chelly National Monument.
Adjoining to the west is Navajo County with a population of about 107,500, encompasses 9,960 square miles. Many people think that Arizona is a vast, open desert without vegetation but Navajo County offers Monument Valley, Keams Canyon, part of the Petrified Forest National Park, and the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in North America.
The counties offers extreme diverse regions with the forested White Mountains and green pastures in the south and high, dry, colorful plateau regions to the north. The Petrified Forest National Park and Painted Desert that we learn about in our elementary school geography books, offer visitors a spectacular journey into prehistoric times.
The dinosaurs originally came to the banks of the Little Colorado River and then the Indians. Pioneer families arrived from the east in the early 1880's. Scattered over the greater portion of the county and especially along the Colorado Chiquita River are many ruins of a prehistoric people. There is plenty of pure spring water in every town and village in the county, constantly fed by the rains and melting snow in the mountains.
The area is gorgeous and not what you would typically think of when you think of the desert. With elevation ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 feet, plush green pastures with animals grazing in the plateau region to the north and the snowcapped ski slopes in the White Mountains to the south offer a picturesque setting. The area has four seasons with warm summer months and a few snow days in the wintertime. The snow usually melts in the lower altitudes in a day or two but the White Mountains become a wintertime playground.
Excellent fishing, hunting and skiing make the White Mountains a year-round recreation area for many living in the hot Phoenix sun. It is home of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests with 8 notable cold water lakes and numerous lakes and reservoirs: Aker Lake, Big Lake, Woods Canyon Lake, Willow Springs Lake,Black Canyon Lake, Chevelon Canyon Lake, Luna Lake, Bear Canyon Lake, Crescent Lake, and Blue River. There are over 680 miles of rivers and streams and the headwaters for the Black, Little Colorado and San Francisco rivers are in the White Mountains.
