This extraordinary 1076.71-acre property showcasing premium improvements at every turn. The ranch features a stunning main residence, a versatile guest house that doubles as an office or conference space, and a full complement of ranch facilities—including a hay barn, tack room, shop, stables, pens, two ramadas, and a spacious 72-acre fenced horse pasture. The property borders the Sonoita State park comprising thousands of acres of preservation land and providing additional privacy to the ranch. In addition, the owners have access to the adjoining Salero Ranch which provides thousands of acres of additional riding opportunities. SEE MORE Every structure and feature on the property has been meticulously cared for and remains in exceptional condition! Situated at a comfortable 4,000-foot elevation, the ranch enjoys lovely climate, breathtaking panoramic views, and unlike much of Arizona's rugged landscape, this property offers wide stretches of soft, non-rocky ground, making it ideal for horseback riding. Whether you're taking a quiet morning ride or exploring the open spaces at sunset, the land provides a comfortable, natural environment for both horses and riders. Fully Furnished homes all while being just a short, convenient drive from the charming town of Tubac. Saddle up and explore your own scenic acreage with ease.
