Outbuildings
On the property, a restored windmill, old elevated water tower and a historic home stand, the remains of what was once a 160 acre ranch in the early 1900's. Mary Ford Platten and her husband, pioneer AZ residents, homesteaded in this part of Davenport Lake area 6 miles east of Williams. She and her husband would farm and raise cattle for the cavalry from 1911 to 1925. She lived in the ranch until the 1950's. On some maps you can still see Aunt Marys Road - that was her road, it's now known as the Deer Farm Road. A part of the road gently curves into and out of the northern part of the property.

30x50 detached metal workshop/barn with cement floors and interior and exterior lighting as well as 220 power. Featuring roll up doors on both ends and two 16ft 3-sided extended overhangs that create an additional 1600 sq ft of covered storage space perfect for storing your equipment, toys, tractors, hay and firewood.
Multiple Pastures with Loafing Shed, Chicken Coop and Goat Shed
The 20 acres is fully fenced, plus a 5-acre cross-fenced pasture surrounds the old homestead east of the main house as well as an additional 1-acre pasture off the shop/barn. There is a chicken coop and shed for goats under the covered area attached to the workshop/barn. Plus a big shipping container provides plenty of space for tack and feed storage. Two 1500-gallon cisterns collect water off the shop and loafing shed to provide plenty of water for animals and the raised bed gardens.
Outdoor living
This property is a great combination of an open sunny area featuring a meadow on the eastern portion and heavily treed acres to the west. Enjoy views of the San Francisco Peaks from the shop areas as well as from the house.
Stream
Snow melts in March creating a clear runoff that becomes the seasonal stream that runs through the property and ultimately flows down into the pond in the pasture.
Wells
There is a spring flowing underneath the garage and through the lower property that can be drilled in to. It's pretty strong and there are other wells out in this area.
Wildlife
Just east of the property is Davenport Lake which attracts a variety of wildlife. A herd of elk can often be seen in the meadow to the east of the home as well as an eagle pair in the spring. Squirrels, rabbits, wild turkey roam on the property. Bear sighting to the North
This property is zoned "GENERAL" providing numerous commercial, residential and agricultural opportunities. Coupled with easy access to the interstate and close proximity to the Grand Canyon, this property has endless potential.
