Real Estate In Young, Arizona
Rural Living ~ Ranchlands
|
Serving
two of Arizona's most beautiful valleys,
Pleasant Valley and the Verde Valley.
|
Young
is located in Pleasant Valley, in eastern
Arizona, south east of Payson at an altitude
of 5,200. It is comprised of about 5000 acres
of deeded land totally surrounded by the 2.7
million-acre Tonto National Forest.
We
are nestled under the Mogollon Rim, (pronounced
"Muggy Own") which extends diagonally
across Arizona from northwest to southeast
into New Mexico. This huge cliff structure
is an escarpment, 200 miles long from west
to east. Towering to 8000 feet in some places,
the Rim is thickly forested, predominantly
with Ponderosa Pine. In winter it is covered
in snow. In summer it is often topped by giant
thunderheads. Newcomers always find it awesome
and imposing.

Young's
limited accessibility has enabled it to retain
an air of old-fashioned simplicity and hospitality.

A
news release once noted that this area is one
of only three "pure air" zones in
the world, known as the Ozone Belt. The other
two are at Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana and
the Hartz Mountains of Germany.

There
are a lot of things to do in Young. The Haigler
Creek area has some of the most beautiful
properties, including
the coldest creek around,
which is great for swimming, fishing, camping
or hiking with the most amazing views. Haigler
Creek is located along the Chamberlain Trail
(also known as the Colcord Road off Hwy
260).
We
have a few places to stay if you would like
to visit and stay awhile.

The
climate is temperate most of the year round, with
a little snow falling in the winter and usually
melting within a few days. Temperatures rarely fall
below 10 deg F.
In spring the wind blows most of the time, and it
becomes more tolerable as the temperatures warm
up.
Summer
is wonderful - many people seeking escape from the
heat of Phoenix own summer cabins here. The daytime
temperatures are usually around 12 degrees cooler
than those down in the Phoenix area. At night it
almost always cools off significantly and by early
morning it is rarely hotter than 60 degrees F. The
summer monsoon rains bring daily afternoon showers
and relief from the heat. The entire valley greens
up and the meadows proliferate with wild flowers. |

brings beautiful gold and red foliage to the sycamore,
black walnut and oak trees along Cherry Creek and
Haigler Creek.
The
average annual precipitation is 25 - 30 inches.
The aquifer under the town provides a good, clean
and abundant supply of water. The soil is fertile
and perfect for summer vegetables. |

There
are no developments - this means no sewer sytems
nor water companies. It is necessary for residents
to have septic systems and private wells. There
is also no industry and no pollution. The sky is
a deep blue color and at night the stars are so
close you want to reach out and touch them.
The
only natural disaster that residents have to contend
with are forest fires, although many of the properties
in Young are on open meadowland and are therefore
not as threatened as properties higher up on the
Rim. The recent drought has not been seen to compromise
the underground water supply, although many trees
in the forest have died.
