Property Description
Bitter Creek Ranch, 464+/- private acres with two homes and a large studio at the highest inhabitable elevation in the Hieroglyphic Mountains. Bordered by BLM land to the south and State land to the north, the ranch offers 360-degree views of mountain ridge lines, where cactus-covered hillsides, open sky, and an unhurried quiet set the pace of every day. At the heart of the ranch stands the regional landmark Big Hell's Gate, a striking basalt formation carved over millennia by Bitter Creek. The seasonal creek winds through the property, creating a riparian corridor. The groundwork is done - the residences and studio are in place, all with full utilities, so you can enjoy it now and build on it over time. (continued)

Supplements
This unique recreational property can accommodate a private family compound, corporate or wellness retreat, equestrian ranch, or additional guest quarters, and offers space to add a helipad. Explore on foot, horseback or ATV along historic trails once traveled by Arizona's gold prospectors and cattlemen, where the only sounds are the breeze and your own footsteps. This is Arizona history - the Yavapai and Apache peoples crossed this region and sought out the healing mineral waters of nearby Castle Hot Springs, the legendary resort, only a 20-minute drive from the property. For buyers completing a 1031 exchange, Bitter Creek Ranch offers a rare replacement opportunity: substantial Arizona acreage with existing improvements and room to grow, where holdings of this scale seldom come available.
