$3,350,000
Rare Coconino National Forest Boundary Ranch — Accessible, Usable & Ready
What makes this property special is not just the acreage — it's how usable and accessible it is. Located only 12 miles south of Flagstaff and approximately 140 miles from North Phoenix, this 64.62-acre ranch parcel borders Coconino National Forest on the north, east, and south sides, creating an exceptionally private setting with direct access to miles of riding, hiking, and recreational trails.
Unlike many Northern Arizona ranch properties hidden far down rough dirt roads, this land offers easy year-round access while still delivering the quiet, secluded western lifestyle buyers are searching for. The terrain is predominantly level and highly usable, with open pastureland blending into beautiful stands of mature ponderosa pine along the forest boundary.
The property is already improved with substantial livestock infrastructure: perimeter fencing, cattle pens, sorting and loading facilities, shelters, a barn, water holding tanks, and a rustic cabin with APS electric service and septic installed. Strong cell service is available throughout, and large trucks, horse trailers, and heavy equipment access the site with ease. Properties that combine National Forest boundary, existing infrastructure, level terrain, strong access, utilities, and development flexibility this close to Flagstaff rarely come available.
Everything That Makes This Property Exceptional
National Forest on 3 Sides
The property borders Coconino National Forest on the north, east, and south, delivering extraordinary privacy and direct access to miles of trail riding, hiking, and backcountry recreation.
Cabin with Utilities Installed
A rustic cabin is already on site with APS electric service and a septic system in place — giving you immediate functionality while you plan your long-term vision for the property.
Full Livestock Infrastructure
Perimeter fencing, cattle pens, sorting and loading facilities, shelters, a barn, and water holding tanks are all in place — ready for immediate equestrian or livestock operations.
Year-Round Access
Large trucks, horse trailers, and heavy equipment access the property with ease throughout all seasons — a significant advantage over most comparable ranch parcels in Northern Arizona.
G-10 Zoning — Development Ready
The current G-10 zoning allows a 10-acre minimum parcel size, opening the door for future subdivision, a family compound, equestrian resort development, or a conservation-style community.
Strong Cell Service Throughout
Reliable cell service across the entire property means you can run a business, manage remote operations, or simply stay connected — without sacrificing the privacy of a true ranch setting.
Why This Land Stands Apart
The Combination That Rarely Comes Available
- Borders Coconino National Forest on three sides — north, east, and south
- Level, open terrain with mature ponderosa pine stands along the forest edge
- Existing cabin with APS electric and septic — utilities are already in
- Full working livestock infrastructure including pens, barn, sorting, and water tanks
- G-10 zoning supports hobby ranch use, equestrian retreat, or parcel development
- Just 12 miles south of Flagstaff via I-17 — accessible to all seasons, all buyers

The Surrounding Area
Forest Service 772
Car-Dependent
This parcel sits within Coconino County's south rural zone, a corridor along I-17 between Flagstaff and the Mogollon Rim defined by ponderosa pine forest, working ranch land, and uncluttered open sky. The area includes a handful of small unincorporated communities — like Mountainaire and Kachina Village — where longtime locals and weekend ranch owners coexist with a quiet, self-sufficient culture far removed from the pace of city life. There are no HOA fees, no dense subdivisions, and no noise — just the forest, the elk, and the horizon. Residents drive into Flagstaff for full services in under 15 minutes, making the balance of seclusion and accessibility here genuinely rare.
Recreation at Your Doorstep
🌲
One of the most diverse national forests in the American Southwest, Coconino spans 1.856 million acres surrounding Flagstaff, from Humphreys Peak — the highest point in Arizona — down through the Mogollon Rim. This property borders it directly, giving owners immediate, private access to its trail systems without a single gate or trailhead parking lot.
🏕️
A 621-acre recreation hub just 3 miles south of Flagstaff offering multi-use trails, an equestrian arena, archery range, bike park, disc golf, the Pepsi Amphitheater, and seasonal camping. It's the community gathering point for south Flagstaff residents and equestrian enthusiasts alike.
🎪
Adjacent to Fort Tuthill, the fairgrounds host the annual Coconino County Fair, Overland Expo, rodeos, livestock shows, and major regional events. For a ranch owner or equestrian operator, having the county fairgrounds this close is a genuine asset.
✈️
Flagstaff's regional airport is less than 15 minutes from this property, offering commercial flights and private aviation services — a meaningful convenience for buyers traveling between Northern Arizona and other parts of the Southwest.
🏔️
Arizona's premier ski resort sits on the slopes of the San Francisco Peaks just north of Flagstaff, offering downhill skiing, snowboarding, and scenic gondola rides in winter — with mountain biking and trail access in summer. Roughly 30 minutes from the property.
Where Ranch Life Meets a Good Meal
A beloved local institution since 1980, just off I-17 south of Flagstaff — known for some of the best burgers in Northern Arizona, draft beer, live music, and a genuine mountain-town dive bar atmosphere that feels like home.
A Flagstaff institution serving family-recipe Northern Arizona Mexican food since 1986 — house-made margaritas, green chile, steaks, and shrimp tacos anchored by a full bar with over 20 tequilas on offer.
Flagstaff's favorite craft brewery, housed in a beautifully restored historic building in downtown — featuring rotating seasonal taps, elevated pub food, and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that Northern Arizona buyers love to call their backyard.
A true Arizona western experience — a historic steakhouse and saloon southeast of Flagstaff surrounded by ponderosa pines and open meadows, popular with ranchers, riders, and anyone who appreciates a proper cowboy steak in an authentic setting.
