Concho is one of the clearest examples of a 1970s land-sale community in Arizona. A developer built a country club and golf course in Concho Valley, platted deed-restricted subdivisions around it, and sold the lots largely to buyers who lived somewhere else. Half a century later, many of those lots are owned by the original buyers' children, who may not know the deed restrictions exist.
Those restrictions matter. A deed-restricted lot may limit what can be built, how a manufactured home can be placed, or how the lot can be used, regardless of what county zoning allows. Before a buyer can value a Concho lot, they need the recorded restrictions for that subdivision — the recorder's office holds them.
Apache County's own community plan puts the precinct at more than 700 square miles, with tens of thousands of acres in private hands and a few thousand residents, so most lots are vacant. Look your parcel up to confirm the acreage and elevation, then pull the subdivision's recorded restrictions. If you would rather not do that research, we will.
