Prime Highway 87 Commercial Corridor Opportunity | 6.09 Acres Bounded by National Forest Positioned directly on high-traffic Highway 87 (Beeline Highway)--the primary arterial connecting the Phoenix Metro area to Payson, Roosevelt Lake, and Arizona's Rim Country--this 6.09-acre parcel offers a rare combination of commercial exposure, development flexibility, and natural beauty. Currently zoned commercial, the property captures a massive, captive audience along a corridor that sees 3.6M to 5.1M+ vehicles annually (10,000-14,000+ daily, with weekend spikes over 18,000/day) according to ADOT counts. An operator would be missing a huge opportunity by not capturing this site for a gas station, EV charging hub, convenience store, or travel stop, though buyers can also explore working with Gila County for residential use or a mixed-use live/work setup. Key Property Highlights & Value Drivers: High-Visibility Highway 87 Frontage: Direct exposure along one of Northern Arizona's most heavily traveled scenic corridors, capturing steady year-round vacationer, commuter, and recreational traffic. Direct Tonto National Forest Border: The entire rear boundary connects directly to public forest land, offering striking mountain views, total privacy, and guaranteed protection from rear neighbors. Versatile Commercial Zoning: Outstanding footprint for a high-yield C-store/fuel station, EV charging station, RV & boat self-storage facility, outdoor outfitter staging hub, or a mountain retreat--with potential avenues for county residential approval. Development-Ready Advantage: Power is located right at the north boundary line, access is secured via a granted 50-foot Forest Service easement (Barnhart Trail Rd), and straightforward high-producing well feasibility (~$25k+-) removes the guesswork for future buyers.
