So
you want to know more about Concho......
The
village of Concho, Arizona is located at the northern edge of the White
Mountains
recreational area of eastern Arizona. Concho is one of the best kept secrets of
the White Mountains. Because Concho is “off the beaten path”, the
village has been able to keep its small town feel while the residents
are still close enough to enjoy all of the amenities of the larger towns.
The tourist attractionsa and business districts of Show Low, Lakeside
and Pinetop are just a pleasant 30 minute drive away.
Located on Highway 61 in Apache County, the village of Concho was originally settled in the 1800s by New Mexican sheepherders of Basque descent. In the early part of the 1900s, Mormon pioneer families came to settle in the Concho Springs area and the two diverse cultures blended into a unique community. In the 1970’s, a master-planned golf community was developed around Concho Springs and Concho Lake.
The
Concho Valley
Country Club and Golf Course is a public club with an 18 hole championship
golf course designed by famed golf course architect, Jack Snyder.
Concho Lake is a 130 acre spring-fed reservoir with camping facilities
and is stocked annually with rainbow trout. Hon-Dah Casino, Sunrise
Ski Resort, hiking trails and many archeological sites are within an
easy 40 minute to 2 hour drive from town.
The Petrified Forest is 40 minutes away and the Grand Canyon
is just a little over 3 hours away.
Concho
enjoys mild four seasons at an altitude of 6200’.
Active retirees and those planning to retire are starting to
discover Concho. The area offers great weather, a rural lifestyle,
affordable property, and access to a wide range of recreational opportunities.
Sports enthusiasts appreciate the close proximity to world-class
fishing and hunting available on state, federal and Indian reservation
land. Due to the large number
of sunny days, good soil and a naturally clean water source, the ranches
around Concho are attracting families looking for an eco-conscious lifestyle.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, a wide range of home sites were developed in town. There are ¼ to ½ acre lots for mobile homes, ¼ acre to 1 acre lots for site-built homes and 5 to 20 acre lots with horse privileges. A large portion of these lots offer views of Concho Lake, the golf course, and/or mountains. Surrounding Concho are mini-homestead style ranches of 40 acres and large professional ranches. Three new subdivisions are under construction offering more housing choices: lakefront, golf course condos, and 5 to 20 acre mini-ranches. See the Lifestyles page for more information.
