GREAT PRICE in Salero Ranch 3! This parcel offers wonderful views from a terraced building site high above the valley floor, providing very scenic overlooks of the surrounding wilderness. Salero Ranch is a private gated community of 36-52 acre homesites situated in a secluded mountain valley east of Tubac in southeastern Arizona. The Ranch is rimmed by the lush foothills of towering Santa Rita Mountains to the north, and the beautiful cliff faces of the Grosvenor Hills to the south. The Ranch adjoins hundreds of acres of State Trust Wilderness Lands, The Sonoita Creek State Natural Area, and is bordered on the north and east by the 148,000 acre Coronado National Forest. Ranch owners can enjoy a scenic nine mile drive from the eastern border of Unit 3 into the charming (continued) town of Patagonia. The beautiful wine country of Elgin and Sonoita are also nearby. Bond Canyon Creek frames the entrance to the Ranch. The clear waters of this seasonally rain fed creek attract wildlife from miles around, and nurture lush stands of Gooding Willows, Ash, Hackberry, Emory Oaks, and emerald green bulrushes. Salero Ranch is a private, gated community located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, situated east of Tubac and adjacent to Morning Star Ranch. The community is part of a larger 16,000-acre cattle ranch that has been privately held since the 1863 Baca Float No. 3 land grant and contains ruins of some of the oldest silver mines in North America. The ranch features scenic landscapes with views of the Santa Rita Mountains to the north and the Grosvenor Hills to the south, and it adjoins hundreds of acres of State Trust Wilderness Lands. The community consists of custom homesites, primarily 36+ acres in size, and is managed by the Salero Ranch Community Association, Inc., a nonprofit corporation formed on October 6, 1997. The association oversees the community's operations, including road maintenance, water, and utilities. Homeowners are required to pay an annual HOA fee of $535. The community allows horses and has a low real estate tax of $14.00 annually. This low tax rate is due to an existing grazing lease in the area. The community's covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs) are designed to ensure tasteful residential development and protect property values, prohibiting mobile homes and manufactured housing. Water for the homesites is supplied by privately owned wells, and the community has underground electric service and a county-approved septic system. High-speed internet via Starlink is available. The community is accessible via a well-maintained, community-graded road network. The area offers abundant recreational opportunities, including equestrian trails, hiking, birding, and stargazing, with the Coronado National Forest nearby.
