luxury real estate for sale Sierra Vista, United States

''The Lazy DS Ranch North'', also known affectionately as ''El Rancho de Agua''. Any Arizona Rancher will tell you how precious water is here in the desert and this ranch has an abundance, both above ground with the Babocomari River flowing through the north end of the ranch and below ground with a 435 ft well capable of pumping out 776 gallons per min! This 322.32-acre Ranch has been in this family for five generations- dating back to when the Babocomari River flowed bank to bank and was deep enough to swim in. Named after the Matriarch of the family, Dorthea, who with her Pioneer spirit & wild sense of adventure, left a very comfortable life in Chicago to move out west; to the Wild-Wild-West where she would learn to work cattle, kill rattlesnakes and become a true cowgirl and settled in southern Arizona on what is now the Lazy DS Ranch. Now that the family has grown and moved away, and the younger generations not knowing the difference between a Heffer and a Bull, the time has come to find a new steward of the land; one who will protect & preserve its rich history and take it forward for future generations to enjoy and prosper from. Located adjacent to the renowned Babocomari Ranch, The Lazy DS Ranch- North is comprised of two Cochise County RU4 zoned parcels & 1 SR-10 w/conservation easement zoned parcel. NO Big City HOA here to tell you what you can and can't do, so let your imagination run wild w/the endless possibilities. Perfect for high desert cattle ranching, the two north lots are both relatively flat and offer native grass pastures, mesquite trees and are served by an agricultural well that once flood irrigated the pastures. Don't have any cows? It's been rumored that grapes grown near Elgin make good wine, and you could plant a lot of vines on 322+ acres, especially with a river running through the middle of it! Along the banks of the river, you will find beautiful mature cotton wood trees, and a lush landscape rarely found in this part of the state! With very easy access to highway 90 and only a 1-hour drive to Downtown Tucson, this ranch is remote enough to still have a sense of privacy and rural country living, yet there is a grocery store and commercial airport less than 20 min away. An additional 339.84 acres can be purchased for $1,350,000 on the South end of the Ranch to make a 662.16-acre ranch with Agricultural Tax status.
