This 480-acre ranch in Winslow, Arizona, features a significant concentration of ancient petroglyphs, some dating back 13,000 years. The property is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and has been studied by researchers from institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Heard Museum, National Geographic, and Northern Arizona University. Chevelon Creek runs through the land, providing beauty and a year-round water source from natural springs within the canyon. A natural rock formation known as "The Steps" provided ancient inhabitants access to water and resources. Within a quarter mile of The Steps, there are an estimated 3,000 petroglyphs. The Hopi Nation historically brought youth to The Steps for reflection, considering it sacred ground. The land supports four types of high-protein grasses, making it suitable for grazing animals. Wildlife includes jackrabbits, green-collared lizards, coyotes, antelope, elk, and deer. Outdoor activities include hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, rock climbing, and fishing. The Hashknife cowboys once ran cattle on this land. The property was previously open to the public for tours. The land presents opportunities for researchers, preservationists, or those interested in owning a historically significant property. The current owners hope the next owner appreciates historical preservation and recognizes the importance of the land and its cultural treasures.
