Apache County Arizona features lots of off-grid activities, including ATV off-roading, sustainable farming, full privacy. Your best options for utilities include solar panels, well or cistern for water, propane gas, and septic tanks.
Some people desire to be totally off grid and out of sight. If this is the case for you, or you see the investment potential, then the Chambers/ Sanders area is for you! You can get very reasonably priced acreage. Some things to consider are direct road access, and you can count on having very limited utilities in this area.
The star feature of the northern part of Apache County is the Petrified Forest National Park, and there are several other natural beauties in the area to explore as well.
To the south of Apache, there is Concho. This is a small town with easy access to three towns that form a triangle around Concho: Show Low, Snowflake, and St. Johns. Concho is highly coveted property in Apache County, and is harder to buy but easier to resell. This is a growing area because the prices in nearby Show Low and Snowflake have been steadily rising.
