Music Mountain Ranch

Music Mountain has gone under contract without the Diamond Bar Ranch.

Land

The Diamond Bar is just such a ranch with its entire north border being the Grand Canyon.  Add Lake Mead Park, Columbine Falls, South Cove & Grand wash cliffs all within the boarders of the ranch.  If you are looking for a cattle ranch with a Dude Ranch possibility you won’t find a better opportunity.

16 different lots make up the deeded acreage between the two ranches. Three allotments make up the grazing lease acres.  Diamond Bar unit A (96,132 acres).  Diamond Bar Unit B (61,701 acres) and the Upper Music Mountain (47,586 acres).  Along with the thousands of Adverse acres this ranch could easily handle close to 1,000 head of cattle.  The Diamond Bar A & Music Mountain are BLM and the Diamond Bar B is National Parks department.

Improvements

1941 main home on the Music Mountain Ranch with corrals, barns and equipment

Numerous corals throughout the property both on deeded and lease land.

Numerous wells, dirt tanks and troughs throughout the property both on deeded and lease land.

22 springs within the ranch boarders

7 wells and 15 piped in waters from wells

15 sets of working pens and traps (some need attention but usable)

Agriculture

The Ranches are a year-round grazing ranch with a mild climate.  Numerous native vegetation can be found throughout the properties.  The deeded land is zoned General Rural in the Arizona county of Mohave.  The Diamond Bar BLM lease #AZ00098 comes in two units.  A and B.  The A unit is managed by BLM and has an AU of 373.  The unit B was turned over to the “US Parks” division several years ago.  The lease can declare annually the amount of cattle to be grazed, but the historic AU for that unit has been 373.  Upper Music Mountain is BLM lease #AZ00100 and has an AU of 242.  Combined with thousands of Adverse grazing checkerboarded throughout the leases there are ample opportunities to increased grazing.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources

The Diamond Bar and Music Mountain Ranches are well watered ranches Many deeded and lease wells exist throughout the properties.

General Operations

The ranches are ready to be stocked!  While most of the cattle on the ranches have been removed from the property there are still some stragglers.  Any purchaser is welcome to keep whatever cattle on the property they find.  A high-capacity ranch with a headquarters is not easily found in Arizona.

History

The Diamond Bar ranch was once the largest ranch in the entire country in the 1880’s with 1.4 million acres at its highest point and incasing most of the ranches in Kingman AZ. However, the dark history of the ranch is that it founded and formed by “Tap” Duncan a known associate of the “Hole in the Wall Gang”.  Tap was a pillar in the Kingman community and people often overlooked his colorful past.

Any potential Buyer should know that the two ranches are being combine because of the carrying capacity of the Diamond Bar and the headquarter element of the Music Mountain.  While being sold together there are similar, but separate, ownership of the two ranches hence there will need to be two separate offers.  Please discuss the complexities with the listing agent and the ideal ways to present any offers.

While most furniture and equipment has been removed from the Property the Sellers reserve the right to remove any personal items and any things not specifically listed on an inclusion list.
