Description
This beautiful +/- 436-acre property near Fort Thomas in Graham County, Arizona offers tremendous potential for a variety of agricultural and commercial uses. Located in the fertile Pueblo and Gila Valley river bottom, the land is surrounded by the scenic Pinaleno, Nantanes, and Gila Mountains, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful, rural setting. Priced at just $5,560 per acre, this is an exceptional opportunity for growers, dairies, or feedlot operators looking to relocate or expand operations from the Phoenix area. The property's agricultural history includes successful crops such as mums, pansies, and tomatoes, and it is well-suited for most above-ground vegetable farming. It previously housed an 80,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse used for growing tomatoes and other... crops like hemp. The land also features approximately 90 acres of former cotton fields that have been lifted, leveled, and bank-protected, making them ideal for repurposing as pasture or for other farm-related operations. A former tree farm with roughly 20 acres of mature Eldarica (Afghan) pines remains intact and may be included in the sale.
Power is provided by Gila River Co-op, with electricity running through the property. Water resources are robust, with reported water depths of around 40 feet and flow rates of up to 700 gallons per minute. The land falls within the Gila Valley Irrigation District, which includes eight agricultural wells supported by a 5,000-gallon holding tank and pressure tank, delivering approximately six acre-feet per acre for 78 acres of irrigated farmland. The remaining land allows for up to twelve additional permitted domestic wells producing about 35 gallons per minute each. Portions of the property also have underground irrigation systems in place.
Access is convenient, with highway frontage along Highway 70 offering excellent visibility and a paved entrance. The front 20 acres are currently in the process of being rezoned for an RV park, adding potential income for a future owner. The land also borders BLM land and includes frontage along the Gila River, further enhancing its appeal. While commercial in-ground farming is not allowed, in-ground use for personal agricultural activities is permitted. All above-ground farming remains fully allowed.
Located near Safford, Arizona, the property offers easy access to essential amenities such as groceries, healthcare, and retail. The nearby San Carlos Indian Reservation provides recreational opportunities like fishing, hunting, camping, and visits to San Carlos Lake. Additionally, Mt. Graham is just a short drive away, offering a quick escape to cooler temperatures and high-elevation aspen forests.
The property is currently partially used as a staging area for a drywall composting business, but all materials and debris will be removed prior to closing. The seller is open to selling the entire parcel or dividing it into smaller sections, and seller financing is available. A detailed marketing brochure and a copy of the water agreement with the Gila Valley Irrigation District are available upon request.
This is a unique and versatile piece of real estate with strong agricultural infrastructure, scenic surroundings, and promising development possibilities. It's an excellent buy for any serious grower, agribusiness, or investor looking for a well-located, water-rich property in eastern Arizona. Contact the broker for more details and to request the full marketing package.
