Sell your land in Apache County, Arizona.
Vacant parcel near St. Johns, Springerville, Eagar, Concho, or out along the interstate at Sanders and Chambers? We pay cash, cover the closing costs and back taxes, and there are never fees to you.
We are building a small portfolio of vacant land in Apache County.
Apache County is one of the rural Arizona counties we are working in — we request county land records directly and look for vacant acreage that has become more burden than asset. If your land out here has turned into a line item you pay taxes on and never visit, we would like to make you a written cash offer for it.
Selling rural acreage through an agent rarely makes sense — listings sit for years and commissions eat what little the sale brings. We are the other path: a family company that deals with Apache County owners directly, for cash, and does the legwork itself.
Our standing promise: a cash price in writing, no fees or commissions ever, we cover all closing costs and any back taxes, you pick the closing date, and no pressure — "no" is a fine answer.
Behind on the property taxes?
Plenty of the parcels we look at have taxes owing on them — often land somebody inherited, or bought a long time ago and has not seen since. We would cover what is owed as part of what we pay, so the county is settled and you walk away clean.
Owning Apache County land from far away
Apache County is a long, narrow rectangle running from the Utah and Colorado corners all the way south to the Blue Range — the third largest county in Arizona, and the county with more reservation land than any other in the country. Better than two-thirds of it is tribal land, held by the Navajo Nation, the Fort Apache Reservation and the Zuni, and that land is not bought and sold the way a deeded parcel is. So the privately held ground that absentee owners actually carry sits in two narrow belts, and they could hardly be less alike.
The first runs along Interstate 40 near Sanders, Chambers and Houck, on the edge of the Painted Desert. Promoters gridded that high rangeland into small lots decades ago and sold them all over the country, a lot of it sight unseen and by mail. The second is the southern end — St. Johns, Concho, Vernon, and the Round Valley towns of Springerville and Eagar, climbing into the White Mountains toward Nutrioso, Alpine and Greer. That country is high grassland and pine rather than desert, and the lots there tend to be cabin ground and small acreage that changed hands inside families.
Owning either kind from out of state wears on you the same way. The lots off the interstate are honest high desert — wind, sage, no utilities anywhere close, and hauled water as a fact of life. Many of them are a long way from any road the county maintains, which is the single thing that most often surprises an owner who has never stood on the parcel. The White Mountain ground sits well above six thousand feet, where winter closes unplowed subdivision roads for stretches at a time. Both are easy to love and slow to sell, because an agent wants the lot near pavement, not the one your family bought from a brochure fifty years ago. Meanwhile the tax bill arrives every year regardless, and that is usually what brings somebody to us.
