Location - The T- Anchor Ranch is located approximately 60 miles north of Phoenix in the Dugas area of Yavapai County.  The Headquarters is located on the Sycamore Creek approximately 10 miles east of Interstate 17 from the Dugas Road exit.  The Creek crosses the Ranch from east to west and bisects three of the deeded parcel.  The grazing permit runs from the Sycamore Ranger Station to the Verde Rim and encompasses a portion of the Pine Mountain Wilderness area.

Topography - The elevation ranges from approximately 4,200’ at the headquarters to above 6.800’ on some of the higher peaks in the Pine Mountain Wilderness area.  The terrain varies from gently sloping to rolling grassland in the western portion of the ranch to mountainous in the eastern portion.  This elevation range and terrain provides for a mild climate and a wide variety of vegetation.

Annuals such as Indian Wheat and Alfilaria occur in years with adequate late winter and early spring precipitation.  Browse includes Shrubby Buckwheat, Guajilla, and Mountain Mahogany. Other vegetation includes mesquite, pinion and juniper and pines. 

Climate - This area has a mild year-round climate. Rainfall averages approximately fourteen to eighteen inches annually. The average temperature at Cordes,  the nearest reporting station indicates, from mid-June until early September is in the 80’s, varying from the upper 50’s at daybreak to the low 90’s in the afternoon. Temperatures do occasionally reach 100° during some mid-summer days but typically cool down in the evenings. Winter temperatures range from the 30’s at night to the low 60’s in the afternoon.

Utilities - Electricity provided by Arizona Public Service to the Headquarters.  Telephone is provided by various Cellular Companies.  Internet and Television are provided by Satellite providers.

Comments - The T Anchor Ranch is very well improved ranch with a mild year around climate located just over an hour north of Phoenix making it an easy commute to all of the amenities of a big city but still being able to enjoy the rural ranching lifestyle.  The deeded land consists of 4 individual Forest in holdings with 3 of the 4 lying along Sycamore Creek and the fourth at 1/8th mile spring which has consistently provided live water to a small spring fed pond.  These deeded Forest in holdings along riparian areas with this close proximity to Phoenix should provide for an excellent investment opportunity.
