Ranch of the Golden Horse near Snowflake? (Show Low: real estate, house)

[swbell6]

So I bought a couple of lots there at the county land auction. Does anyone have any insight into the area, water issues, utilities, etc.? It's just a bit north of Concho Hwy.

I'm not looking to move there permanently. I would like to have a place to escape the desert heat and maybe someday retire there half-time, with some type of small home, composting toilet and perhaps a garden.

The farthest north I've been so far is Show Low, except for a quick trip to the Petrified Forest years ago.

TIA!

You're a real estate agent and bought land without knowing about it???? Just messing with you, you must have gotten a great deal.

I don't know about water issues, etc. specific to that subdivision, but in the general area I know this. I do know that the coconino aquifer is what most folks have to drill to for their water. Wells will run about 600 feet deep. Usually a submersible pump pumping to a storage tank with a float switch is the norm, then a booster pump from the tank to give regular house pressure. For electric, you can either go solar or I _think_ you have to get with Navapache Electric. There used to be a solar/wind supply store in Snowflake. The vegetation is not tall pines like Show Low, you'll be in the 'cedar country' as some call it, basically Junipers and grassland mix.

good luck
