Property description

This is 9.4 acres located in the heart of historic western-movie country. Featured in Lifetimes, A Cowboy Christmas Romance Movie Dec 2023… WolfNest Ranch has it all for horse people. Tucked into a snug wind-tame Rincon with dynamic south-easterly views of the Sky Island Mountain Empire. Here the trail horse rider lives the enviable idilic life. Four equal seasons at 4200 ft. Elev. … hot summers (not too & dry), greatly welcome monsoons, slightly chill winters (a touch of snow). Just a few cacti!

Details

Home Features

The 2,200 sq. ft. straw-bale-insulated Homestead has three king-size-bed bedrooms, a second story sleeping-loft and two full bathrooms. The home is divided into a primary wing … separated by a hi-paneled-ceiling great-room & the guest wing. The master wing features a cedar-lined walk-in closet, walk-in shower & a full walk-in closet/dressing room. The home is all electric and with stewarded use, largely free from energy bills. Water comes from an HOA or on-site well (below the windmill). Apart is a two-car half-open garage and large insulated workshop.

Lot Features

The entire property is kept “debris-free”, wacked & mowed “firewise” and all buildings are enhanced by eight 1,000+ gallon cisterns. Being near town is practical, but the “country-road” ranch is ideally buffered from paved roads by a wooded fore-ridge. Most neighbors are horse people … all are horse lovers & old-school helpful!
Best of all … there are dozens of amazingly beautiful trail rides within a 20-40 minute trailer drive … the stunning shortgrass San Rafael Valley, the amazing Papago Springs, lush Sonoita Creek below Lake Patagonia & on six different truly awesome “Passages” of the Arizona Trail.

Horse Facility Features

The lg. pole barn features an 8’ by 16’ tack & feed room, a matted service alley & 16’ by 18’ birthing stall, a sheltered feeding lane with two large adjacent holding stalls, solar lighting & a hydrant fed stock tank. The 16’ by 16’ elevated hay barn features a rubber bumpered loading dock and flood lighting. The barn complex abuts an estimated one acre pasture with a 4-plank & RR-Tie fence that has 12 gates and a 12’ by 24’ enclosed pole shelter to greet & safeguard guest horses. The second acre-sized (very wooded) pasture features a 60’ paneled round-pen, three gates, a hydrant fed stock tank & matted wash stand. At the front of the property is a large paneled riding arena with three gates & several training obstacles (bridge, poles, barrels). The wash leads 2 miles into the town of Patagonia, (with many rides beyond) and has two additional patches of bottom soil that can be fenced for additional pasture.
On back toward the home is a 12’ by 24’ poled solar array … envisioned to become an enclosed tractor shed (or even future bunk housing). It is served by both water & electrical.
