The topography consists of desert terrains, river valley, and high mountain ranges.

The life zones that exist in the 127 mile trip from Clifton to Springerville (along the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway) are the same as what you would see on a road trip from Mexico to Canada.

The climate is generally mild with over 300 days of sunshine a year, average summer temperatures are in the 70-80s and average winter tempertures are in the high 40s.

The balance is owned by the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the State of Arizona. As a property owner in this area you can declare your independence from metropolitan chaos and escape to a quiet, secluded, enriched life for you and your family for generations to come.
