Property Description
This is a remote, rustic getaway - truly one-of-a-kind. Perfect for enjoying the peace & deep quiet of the surrounding rolling oak, juniper grasslands, abundant wildlife & wonderful hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding right out your door. Lovingly maintained, this fully furnished rustic 3 BR, 2 bath gem is being offered for the first time at well below replacement cost and is ready for immediate enjoyment and/or further development with endless potential. The home's design features materials that connect with the landscape. The wrap-around porch and exterior walkways are assembled entirely using stones from the property. The inside opens up from the stone porch into a living room, dining room, and kitchen area with cabinetry and furniture built from mesquite & oak from the property and other local sources. Furniture, and architectural features throughout - including arched passageways, built-in bookcases, wood planked ceilings and custom interior doors and window shutters - are unique and hand crafted locally, all imbuing the interior space with a modest, rustic simplicity. The floors are hand-stained concrete, & the walls highly efficient insulated concrete forms, providing excellent energy savings. Outside, a large endless-current swim spa offers relaxation & fitness and a kitchen herb garden, fruit trees, a small greenhouse and vegetable garden & horse privileges support hobbies & homesteading. A private well, septic system, and underground electric, preserve unspoiled vistas. Tucked away in southern Arizona's beautiful 20,000-acre gated Salero Ranch community between Patagonia and Tubac, this enchanting Southwest-style home awaits your visit. Set on 38 secluded acres of rolling grasslands adorned with mesquite, juniper, and oak trees, and at a mild 4,400-foot elevation, this property could be a perfect weekend escape, a guest home for a future custom build, or even a full-time residence. Wildlife abounds here and the dark skies and clean air make every evening magical. Additional acreage is available, and there is direct access to endless hiking, horseback riding, birding and mountain biking including in the nearby Coronado National Forest and Arizona Game and Fish Preserve. Whether you're seeking serenity, solitude, adventure, or a place to grow, this peaceful remote sanctuary delivers a lifestyle that's as full of possibilities as the land itself.
