Lot Description
Drive On and Start Living - 1.04-Acre Arizona Lot with Leveled RV Area Prepared
Discover your personal outdoor headquarters on this exceptional 1.04-Acre property in the Hacienda San Juan neighborhood near St. Johns, Arizona. With a leveled RV area already prepared with driveway access, long-term RV living approved, and power nearby, this land isn't just a parcel - it's your opportunity to establish the permanent outdoor adventure basecamp where hunting, fishing, hiking, and exploration begin right from your own property in Arizona's stunning high country.
Affordable Ownership Options:
Cash Price: Own it outright for just $9,750 plus $249 doc fee (total: $9,999)
Owner Financing - No Credit Check Required: We believe wilderness basecamp ownership should be accessible to outdoor enthusiasts regardless of credit history, which is why we offer straightforward owner financing with no bank involvement, no credit checks, and no complicated approval processes.
• Initial deposit: Just $349 to get started (includes $249 non-refundable doc fee plus $100 down payment toward purchase price)
• Monthly payments: Only $200 per month for 54 months - less than most people spend on weekend camping fees and outdoor recreation permits annually
• Total financed amount: $10.900 over 54 months
• Deed transferred upon completion: Once your final payment is made, the deed is transferred and filed with the county recorder in your name - it's that simple.
No hidden fees. No balloon payments. No interest. No prepayment penalties. Just honest, transparent terms that make permanent outdoor basecamp ownership achievable for working outdoor enthusiasts earning regular incomes. The monthly payment is less than what many hunters and anglers spend on licenses, tags, and access fees in a single season, yet it builds equity in your own permanent hunting and fishing headquarters.

Why This Property Stands Out:
LEVELED RV Area With Driveway Already Prepared: This property delivers immediate usability that saves you thousands in site preparation costs and months of delay. Recent roadwork created a proper entrance drive coming directly off the main road to a leveled area specifically designed for RV or tiny home placement. This means you can drive your RV or tiny home onto the property and start using it immediately without expensive grading, or access road construction. No waiting months for contractors to prepare your site. No spending thousands on bulldozer work before you can even occupy the property. No uncertainty about whether your access will work or your RV will fit. The hard work is already done, waiting for you to simply arrive and establish your basecamp. For outdoor enthusiasts eager to start using property immediately rather than dealing with construction delays, this ready-to-occupy preparation is invaluable. You can be camping on your own land this weekend rather than planning for next season.
LONG-TERM RV Living Approved: Unlike many properties where RV use is limited or prohibited, this land explicitly permits long-term RV living with proper septic setup. This approval provides exceptional flexibility for outdoor enthusiasts who value mobility, affordability, and connection to nature over conventional housing. Live in your RV full-time while maintaining complete mobility and low overhead. Establish a seasonal hunting or fishing camp you occupy during prime seasons. Create a weekend adventure base you visit regularly from primary residence elsewhere. Test Arizona high country living before committing to permanent construction. Maintain minimal fixed costs and maximum flexibility for lifestyle changes. This RV approval combined with the already-prepared pad means you can establish occupancy immediately, building equity in property while living affordably and maintaining the outdoor-focused lifestyle you value. Many outdoor enthusiasts find RV living on their own land provides the perfect balance of homeownership, outdoor immersion, and financial freedom.
FULL Acre OF Arizona High Country: At 1.04 acres, this property provides substantial space for outdoor pursuits, privacy, and future expansion of your basecamp. Establish your primary RV or tiny home site on the prepared pad while maintaining additional acreage for other uses. Create dedicated areas for equipment storage, workshop space, or additional camping spots. Build archery ranges with adequate safety buffers. Establish wildlife food plots or habitat improvements on portions of the property. Practice bushcraft, wilderness skills, or survival training on your own private land. Set up astronomy or photography equipment with space for proper positioning. Store boats, ATVs, hunting equipment, or outdoor gear without space constraints or neighbor complaints. The full acre gives you genuine elbow room for outdoor activities and projects that smaller lots simply cannot accommodate. You're not cramped onto a tiny parcel - you have the space that serious outdoor pursuits require.
POWER Nearby For Modern Basecamp Conveniences: While this property offers wilderness character and outdoor immersion, electricity infrastructure sits nearby for connection when you want modern conveniences. This proximity means you have options and flexibility rather than being forced into complete off-grid living. Connect to grid power for reliable electricity without generator maintenance and fuel costs. Run power tools, welding equipment, or shop machinery for projects and repairs. Operate freezers for game processing and food storage during hunting seasons. Maintain communications equipment, electronics, and computers reliably. Charge electric vehicles, e-bikes, or battery-powered equipment conveniently. Design a hybrid system using solar with grid backup for ultimate reliability. The nearby power means you're choosing your level of grid dependence rather than having it forced upon you by property location. You can live simply and close to nature while maintaining the electrical conveniences that make extended stays comfortable and productive.
STRATEGIC Location Balancing Access And Seclusion: The property sits just 3/4 mile from Highway 180, providing the ideal balance between accessibility and isolation. This positioning delivers significant practical advantages for outdoor basecamp owners. Easy year-round access without navigating miles of rough roads or seasonal obstacles. Convenient routes for hauling RVs, boats, ATVs, or supplies without difficult drives. Close enough to reach quickly for weekend trips without all-day travel from urban areas. Emergency services can reach you if needed without extreme delay. Yet despite this accessibility, you maintain the remote, wilderness feel that outdoor enthusiasts crave. No suburban sprawl or development intruding on your outdoor experience. No constant traffic or noise from highways. No neighbors crowding your activities or watching your business. This sweet spot between access and isolation is exactly what experienced outdoor property owners seek.
ST. Johns Just 5 Miles Away For Supplies And Services: Your wilderness basecamp sits conveniently close to St. Johns, the Apache County seat providing comprehensive small-town services and amenities. Grocery stores and supplies are just 5 miles away for restocking between adventures. Gas stations fuel vehicles, generators, and equipment without long drives. Restaurants provide meals when you don't feel like cooking at camp. Medical facilities offer urgent care and basic services if needed. Hardware stores supply repair parts, tools, and building materials. Banks handle financial transactions. Post office manages mail and packages. The proximity means you're self-sufficient at your basecamp but never more than 5 miles from civilization when you need supplies, services, or emergency assistance. This balance is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who value wilderness experience but appreciate nearby town access for practical necessities.
MINIMAL 200 Square Foot Build Requirement: The agricultural zoning requires just 200 square feet minimum for any permanent structure, providing exceptional flexibility for outdoor enthusiasts. Build a small, efficient cabin for weather protection and secure storage. Construct a workshop or equipment storage building meeting minimum requirements. Design a compact hunting lodge or fishing shack perfect for seasonal use. Create a tiny home that's affordable, efficient, and meets your minimal shelter needs. Establish a rustic retreat that prioritizes outdoor living over indoor square footage. This minimal requirement means you're not forced into expensive conventional construction if you prefer investing in land, equipment, and outdoor infrastructure over large buildings. Your money goes toward what matters to your outdoor lifestyle rather than meeting arbitrary size mandates that don't serve your actual needs.
About St. Johns And Apache County:
St. Johns isn't just another small town - it's a genuine gateway to Arizona wilderness where high country beauty, exceptional outdoor access, and authentic Western heritage create the perfect setting for your outdoor adventure basecamp.
STRATEGIC Access TO Premier Outdoor Destinations: St. Johns' location provides exceptional proximity to some of Arizona's most remarkable outdoor recreation areas and natural wonders. Lyman Lake State Park sits nearby offering excellent fishing, boating, camping, and water recreation in Arizona's high desert. Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest encompasses nearly 2 million acres of diverse wilderness with world-class elk hunting, trout fishing, hiking, camping, and exploration opportunities. The Painted Desert creates otherworldly landscapes perfect for photography and geological appreciation. Petrified Forest National Park offers unique fossil experiences and stunning desert scenery. These destinations aren't distant vacation spots requiring elaborate travel - they're your nearby backyard, accessible for day trips or extended adventures launched from your own property. You're positioned at the center of outdoor opportunity rather than hours away from where you actually want to recreate.
EXCEPTIONAL Hunting And Fishing Opportunities: Apache County and the surrounding White Mountains region provide some of Arizona's finest hunting and fishing, making this basecamp location strategic for serious sportsmen. World-class elk hunting in nearby areas produces trophy bulls and consistent success rates. Mule deer hunting offers quality bucks in diverse terrain from high mountains to open country. Antelope hunting provides fast-paced action in scenic grasslands. Small game including turkey, javelina, and predators round out hunting variety. Trout fishing in cold mountain streams and stocked lakes creates excellent angling from spring through fall. Warm-water fishing provides bass, catfish, and panfish opportunities. Having your own basecamp near these opportunities means you can hunt and fish extensively without expensive lodge fees, campground reservations, or limited access. You establish your personal headquarters where seasons start and end on your schedule, where you process and store game properly, and where you can hunt extensively rather than being limited to expensive guided trips.
DARK Skies For Exceptional Stargazing: Far from Phoenix, Tucson, or any significant light pollution, this area offers some of Arizona's darkest night skies and most spectacular astronomy opportunities. The Milky Way stretches brilliantly overhead with clarity impossible in developed areas. Constellations shine with definition rarely seen. Meteor showers become spectacular events worth planning visits around. Deep-sky objects reveal themselves to even modest amateur telescopes. For outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate natural wonders beyond daytime activities, these dark skies add another dimension to your property's value and your outdoor experience. Many owners find nighttime stargazing becomes as important as daytime adventures, creating memorable experiences that deepen connection to nature and the universe.
FOUR-SEASON High Desert Climate: St. Johns' elevation provides climate advantages that serious outdoor enthusiasts appreciate and that extend usable recreation seasons. Cooler summer temperatures than Phoenix or Tucson make summer activities comfortable rather than dangerously hot. You can work on your property, hike, and pursue activities in July without life-threatening heat. Fall brings spectacular weather with crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and ideal conditions for hunting season activities. Winter offers occasional snow that adds beauty and tracking opportunities without the extreme cold and deep snow of northern states. Property remains accessible year-round rather than being completely snowed in for months. Spring arrives early with wildflowers and wildlife activity extending your outdoor season. This moderate high desert climate means you can use and enjoy your property twelve months annually rather than having it sit idle during extreme seasons.
AUTHENTIC Western Heritage And Outdoor Culture: St. Johns and Apache County carry genuine Arizona ranching and outdoor heritage where people understand land ownership, hunting, livestock, and self-sufficient living. This is working ranch and wildlife country where outdoor pursuits are valued and respected rather than viewed skeptically. The community appreciates hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts who treat land respectfully. You'll find people who wave as they drive by, who understand why someone wants to live in an RV or cabin, who don't judge alternative lifestyles, and who respect property rights and outdoor traditions. For outdoor enthusiasts sometimes viewed skeptically in more suburban areas, St. Johns offers acceptance and like-minded neighbors who share your values and understand your lifestyle choices.
COMPREHENSIVE Small-Town Amenities: Despite its small size, St. Johns provides surprising amenities and services that make outdoor basecamp ownership practical. Parks and recreation facilities including a city pool offer community connection. The county fairground hosts events and gatherings throughout the year. Local restaurants, grocery stores, and shops handle essential needs. Medical facilities provide basic care and urgent services. Schools and community services create stable small-town infrastructure. This isn't just a dot on a map - it's a functioning community with services, character, and stability that support property owners while respecting the independence and outdoor focus that brought you here.
CONSERVATION And Habitat Stewardship Opportunities: Owning property in Arizona's high country allows you to actively participate in conservation and wildlife management rather than just observing from public lands. Establish water sources for wildlife through catchments or developed features. Plant native species and restore degraded habitat areas. Create food plots that benefit game species and non-game wildlife alike. Monitor wildlife populations and contribute observation data to conservation organizations. Practice responsible land management that improves habitat over time. Demonstrate ethical hunting and outdoor recreation to others through your example. For outdoor enthusiasts motivated by conservation values and stewardship ethics, property ownership transforms you from visitor to active participant in habitat management and wildlife conservation. Your basecamp becomes a personal conservation project where you implement the practices and values you believe in.
Endless Possibilities Await:
Whether you're establishing a hunting season basecamp for Arizona's excellent elk and deer opportunities, creating a fishing headquarters near mountain streams and lakes, building a hiking and wilderness exploration staging area, developing an off-grid retreat for extended outdoor immersion, securing a weekend escape for regular outdoor activities and skills practice, investing in affordable Arizona property before broader market discovery, preserving Arizona high country under personal stewardship, or establishing a family outdoor education center for teaching wilderness skills and conservation, this 1.04-Acre St. Johns property delivers the prepared basecamp, RV approval, expansion potential, and strategic location outdoor enthusiasts demand.
Picture yourself arriving Friday evening, pulling your RV directly onto the prepared pad without setup hassles or campground fees. Imagine waking Saturday morning on your own acre of Arizona, coffee in hand, planning the day's hunt or hike. Envision returning from successful adventures to your own basecamp where you can process game, maintain equipment, and prepare for tomorrow's pursuits. Consider having permanent workshop space where outdoor gear stays organized and maintained year-round. Think about night skies so dark the Milky Way casts shadows across your camp. Visualize teaching children or grandchildren outdoor skills, conservation ethics, and self-reliance on your own private training ground. This property offers you the prepared Arizona wilderness canvas - you provide the adventures and the stewardship.
