The final release of G-BAR Ranch properties has just begun. The G-Bar Ranch in cool clear northeastern Arizona offers an excellent selection of 36+ acre homesteads with both wooded acreage and level grassy pasture accented by high set hills and ridges that open up panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. No parcel is less than 36 acres and most average 38 to 40 acres. All are off grid, meaning that the is no power service available. Solar panels, propane gas, wind and traditional gas generators can easily provide the energy needs of a ranch owner. An area cell phone tower provides wide coverage across most of the ranch. The ranch's rural zoning allows a wide range of uses including residential, recreational, and agricultural. Many of the properties adjoin large 640 acre tracts of State Trust and Federal BLM woodlands with their scenic-untouched natural landscapes. These vast wooded expanses provide a quiet and scenic backdrop to adjoining G-BAR Ranch property owners. The ranch offers a wide variety of terrains and landscapes from which to choose. Level grassy meadows, heavily wooded parcels and blends of both are all available here. Long panoramic views of the White Mountains to the south and towering red rock mesas are common. The land is covered with a thick mantle of nutrient rich native range grasses growing in a soft sandy loam soil which is perfect for vegetable gardens, orchards or the pasturing of livestock. Livestock can comfortably graze the land's meadows free of harmful surface rock. The massive Coconino Aquifer underlies the land for ranch owners to drill their private wells into. A free access onsite well is also available to ranch owners 24 hours a day from which they can haul fresh water back to their individual property. The well is powered by a state of the art water delivery system. G-BAR Ranch owners have access to the well 24/7 as part of their ownership privileges within the ranch. At a cool and clear 6,200 foot elevation, the comfortable temperatures allow ranch owners to enjoy their land year-round. The days here are sunny, the nighttime sky is clear and the mountain air clean and refreshing. Outdoor work is rarely curtailed due to the weather. The winters here are mild, typically producing less than 18" of snow most of which falls at a rate of two to three inches per storm and melts into the soil within a day or two. The land is blessed with an average of 327 days of sunshine a year. The average high temperature in the coldest month of January is 50 degrees under sunny clear skies. Occasional winter snowfalls are light, rarely exceeding more than two to three inches. Summer days are warm and sunny, but never hot. Average daytime summer highs are in the mid to upper 80's. The seasonal July/August monsoon rains bring additional cooling and turn the native grasses lush green. Throughout the summer, colorful mountain wildflowers spread across the land's meadows. This is an exceptionally quiet and peaceful land of sweeping mountain vistas and broad grassy valleys devoid of urban noise and teeming with free roaming elk, antelope and deer.
