The population growth of the metropolitan Phoenix area, in both
permanent residents and visitors, is causing continued increase in
the demand for recreational property. The most desirable, and at 
the same time least available land, is forest land located along a 
live, year-round flowing stream. Of the four principal recreation areas
serving Phoenix, two, Payson and Prescott, are located within the
primary recreational radius of the city. Flagstaff and the White
Mountain area are both at a further distance. The Preserve on
Haigler Creek is located east of Payson in the Tonto National 
Forest.

Within that area there are only four year-round flowing streams.
Three of those streams have had the limited private land on them
intensely developed into very small creek front lots. Few of these
lots are undeveloped. With creek front and forested property a
diminishing commodity, the outward mobility of the population
centers, and the attraction to rural recreational areas the value 
of creek front property should be significantly enhanced in the 
future.

There are only two parcels of private land on Haigler Creek. 
Within the southern parcel is The Preserve. The northern parcel is an
unsubdivided private ranch which will neither be developed nor
subdivided.

The Preserve has been platted into large lots in order to retain a
rural recreational life style that has virtually disappeared in 
other areas. There are deed restrictions and C,C &R's which prevent lot
splits and the reduction of the larger parcels into smaller lots. 
The large two to five acre lots have been designed to provide a 
private retreat within an unspoiled setting. In no other location is the
purchaser able to obtain the level of privacy and tranquility
combined with creek frontage on a year-round flowing trout 
stream.

Elevations in the immediate area range from 5,175 feet to 5,800
feet. The property is surrounded by Tonto National Forest. Elk, 
deer, javelina, turkey and many other wild animals are abundant and are
seen frequently. Many of the lots contain both meadow and forested
areas. Along the stream frontage are alders, cottonwoods, oaks,
sycamore, walnuts, and many other species of hardwood trees
interspersed throughout with various species of evergreen trees,
such as pine and cedar.

Winter nights are cold with day time temperatures frequently in
50's and 60's. There is adequate and frequent enough snow to 
enjoy, but not enough to become a serious problem. During the summer
months the creek is stocked with trout. Warmer water fishing is 45
miles south in Lake Roosevelt.

The Preserve is comparatively remote and is accessed by a dirt 
road, Forest Road 200, also known as the Chamberlain Trail. The road is
maintained by Gila County through a contract with Tonto National
Forest. There are no golf courses or tennis courts in the 
Preserve.

The Preserve was designed for hiking, fishing, outdoor 
photography, solitude, and tranquility. The Preserve is meant to provide a
family, particularly a family with children, a lifestyle in the 
out of doors where there is contact with and exposure to nature, plants,
animals, and a vast variety of experiences in a near wilderness
setting.

The property is located approximately 10 miles from Young, 
Arizona, and the historic Pleasant Valley. Young provides the basic 
services of groceries, gasoline, and repair and maintenance services. To
reach the property from Phoenix or Flagstaff travel to Payson, go
east on State Highway 260 to the top of the Mogollon Rim to the
Young-Heber Road (State Highway 288). Turn south and proceed for
approximately 21 miles to the turn off for Forest Road #200
(Haigler Creek turn off). Proceed on Forest Road 200 for
approximately 10-12 miles and you will arrive at the entry to the
Preserve, which is marked by a stone entry way with a sign.

There is an unpaved air strip approximately 6 miles from the
Preserve. It will accommodate twin engine small craft. It has no
service facilities or lights.
