Flagstaff, Arizona II  

Posted by Stan Harrington

We have enjoyed the rock formations throughout Utah and northern Arizona so much that we have decided against having a motor home in the future and in it's place have a winter home in the area. We found the ideal place today, just 40 miles north of Flagstaff and at the entrance to the Grand Canyon. The little "ranch" house comes with seven acres bordered by federal land on one side and the Hopi Indian reservation on the remaining three sides. We met with a Realtor today and have made an offer on the property which was promptly accepted. We can close on it after we get back to Alaska via mail. It is a "fixer upper" but we figure we can work on the HITW in the summer and retreat to Arizona to work on the "ranch" during the winter months. It will take some work and time but there is so much potential for improvements and landscaping. I will have a great choice of rocks to work with in the landscaping. We are excited.

I see plenty of room for cattle and sheep...think you can train your dog to herd???...and you may want to check the well...or buy mom a four wheeler for hauling water.

It is backed by this huge plateau, several hundred feet high and most of the land runs from the bluff base out to the highway so access is no problem. Surprisingly water is no problem, see the green and yellow area to the right of the house,that is a natural spring, clear, cold and good water, gurglesto the surface 365 days a year. GThat is what really sold us on the property - it is rare to find good water in this area.

I don't believe you....there are no plants, trees, or rivers. What would you do all day pick sand out of you teeth? Mom would do nothining but sweep!
You have to move somewhere I want to move to so...so we can retire with you!
