Globe, AZ 85501 - Gila County

The 410 acre Ash Creek Canyon in central Arizona is one of the extremely rare privately owned riparian environments in all of Arizona. Only 1.5 hours from Phoenix and bordering the 3 million acre Tonto National Forest, Ash Creek Canyons evergreen covered hillsides, red rock cliffs and tree lined waters offer exceptional scenic beauty and lasting privacy. Ash Creek provides a rich riparian habitat for its diverse wild life and tree species. A walk along the creek's banks reveals crystal clear pools of water, gently plunging waterfalls and towering stands of sycamore, ash and Arizona walnut. The weather at the property's 4,700' elevation is comfortable throughout the seasons. Winter lows average in the 30's with daytime highs warming into the 70's. The summer highs average in the upper 80's with nighttime cooling into the 60's. Rainfall averages 15" annually along with a few occasional snowfalls totaling less then 8". A well maintained forest service road provides outstanding rear-round access to the ranch's locked gated entrance which provides both privacy and security. There is potential for future development of this property into 40 acre estates. Contour platting of the land into ten individual tracts has been completed and the mapping is available upon request.
