About this home
Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime. Spanning 480 acres of breathtaking Arizona landscape, this remarkable property is home to one of the most significant concentrations of ancient petroglyphs in the country—if not the world. Some of these etchings date back 13,000 years, making this one of the oldest and most historically significant privately owned sites available today.
This expansive ranch is a portal into centuries of human history, offering an unparalleled chance to steward a landscape that untold generations have revered. The property features stunning natural terrain, including Chevelon Creek, a stream that carves through the land, providing beauty and sustainability. Natural springs within the canyon ensure a year-round water source. Making this land vital for the survival of many civilizations throughout history.
Among the many extraordinary features of this property is "The Steps," a natural rock formation along the steep canyon walls that gave ancient inhabitants access to water, fish, and foraging resources. Within just a quarter mile of The Steps there are an estimated 3,000 petroglyphs depicting stories, rituals, and celestial observations that continue to captivate researchers and historians. Additionally, the Hopi Nation historically brought wayward youth to The Steps for a week of reflection, believing this to be sacred ground.
This property is registered on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been extensively documented, including in the book 100 Years,100 Ranchers, and featured on PBS, The History Channel's Beyond Skinwalker Ranch and Ancient Aliens. Its significance has attracted archaeologists and scholars from around the world, and it has been featured in major publications. Researchers from the Smithsonian Institution, the Heard Museum, the National Geographic Society, and Northern Arizona University have studied this land, attesting to its unique historical value. The current owner and their family have been guardians of this property since the 1940s and have kept it in pristine condition. The potential for this land is vastwhether as a private retreat, a center for research, a historical tourist attraction, or a protected heritage site. The current owners hope that Rock Art Ranch's next owner deeply appreciates historical preservation and recognizes the importance of this land and its cultural treasures.
For those who understand the rarity of such a site, this is an opportunity to become part of history.
Beyond its historical significance, this property is a landscape of rugged beauty, offering uninterrupted views and a sense of connection to the past unlike anywhere else. With Chevelon Creek winding through the terrain, the land is a natural sanctuary. In the spring, the land is covered in a variety of vibrant wildflowers, adding breathtaking color to the landscape. The ranch also supports four different types of high-protein grasses, making it ideal for grazing animals.
The untouched landscape is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including jackrabbits, green-collared lizards, coyotes, antelope, elk, and deer. This land offers a wealth of outdoor activities, from hiking and horseback riding to canoeing, rock climbing, and fishing in the creek. Crawdad hunting, artifact discovery, and quiet moments among the petroglyphs create an experience that leaves visitors with a deep sense of peace and connection to the land.
Additionally, the legendary Hashknife cowboys once ran cattle on this land, further cementing its place in the story of the American West. Although it is currently closed to the public, Rock Art Ranch previously provided tours allowing the public access to this unique site. For many visitors, the experience of walking these grounds surpasses even the awe of seeing the Grand Canyon, often described as "a hidden gem."
This land presents a unique opportunity for researchers, preservationists, or those looking to own one of the most historically significant properties in the nation. Properties of this scale and significance are rarely available, and the chance to be a guardian of such an irreplaceable piece of history is truly extraordinary.
This sale is the passing of a legacy. For those with a vision for preservation, education, or conservation, Rock Art Ranch offers a rare chance to secure a meaningful prehistorical estate. RockArtRanch website
