$349,000 / TAR/MLS #20830695

A substantial family home or country getaway with hacienda flair -- on 1.36 acres within the town limits of the historic village of Patagonia.  This charming little town attracts very creative & interesting people! 

Attentively cared for, this 2,464sf home (3 bedrooms & a den or 4th bedroom, 2 3/4 baths & a huge 4 car garage) has a huge, bright, open-plan kitchen-living-dining area with high ceilings & lovely natural views.  As seen in our photos, this home has many special custom features throughout.  There is ample land here to add a small barn & corral, a studio/guest house, or a large vegetable garden.  From an investment standpoint note that the parcel is dividable (because it is within town limits) should you ever wish to do so.  The ability to divide may never be put to use; however, it provides tremendous flexibility & options for future plans & dreams for the property.

The plush natural habitat surrounding this property, including a lovely hillside behind the home, is a birders/naturalists paradise.  Seasonal Sonoita Creek which runs during rainy interludes, is behind the property but within walking distance & when dry (most of the time) provides a fabulous hiking area which leads directly into Nature Conservancy's famous Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve (see visitor info on this site for much more information).  A little reading on this famous area & the region overall will reveal just how rare & special this spot is on so many levels.  Note that because of seasonal Sonoita Creek's proximity, flood insurance is recommended for this property.  The home has excellent flood insurance in place at $348 per year & it is transferable to the next owners.    

Handsome balconies; mountian & meadow views; 2 wells; a gently shaped, fenced private pool; no Home Owners Association or Deed Restrictions; schools & the heart of Patagonia within walking distance; great neighbors & an excellent new price!  Definately do not wait if this property interests you.

$192,500 / TAR/MLS #20829501

An unusually large 2,064sf family home in desirable Patagonia & a super investment opportunity.  This 1940's vintage bungalow, with three bedrooms, two full baths & a single attached garage is on a tree-lined cul-de-sac in the heart of town.  From the front of the home one looks out to a large lovely green & lovely surrounding neighborhood setting, with a sweeping Red Mountain backdrop.  The home, which has unusually large bedrooms & storage areas, has had many recent interior updates.  It's unusually large town lot has new fencing---perfect for children & pets, or a large vegetable garden, or both.  Most important, there will be room left for a guest cottage/studio/rental addition if you so desire.  We like to point out that the attached garage could also be rather easily converted into more living space if needed & there's plenty of land to add a 2 car garage!

Your inspiration & personal touches could provide the final transformation of this home into a village gem.  This is a great price & a great location...with obvious potential.  Prices have been coming down even here & this home is a great opportunity to be in Patagonia at an excellent price.

310 Duquesne Avenue, Patagonia, AZ 85624
$325,000, TAR/MLS #20826045

This pristine architect-designed Santa Fe style residence was built in 2005 with careful attention to materials, detail & proportion.  A two bedroom, two bath home, its welcoming first floor living-dining-kitchen area was thoughtful conceived, integrating high & low ceiling heights with an elegant rough sawn oversized beam & posts.  Its many windows provide lovely natural light, giving the home a spacious, airy ambiance.  At 1,629 square feet, it's large enough to be roomy & very functional yet small enough to easily clean & maintain.  There will be plenty of time for serious relaxation, or whatever brings you to this part of the world. 

Dramatic Red Mountain views await you from the private 2nd floor Master suite & outdoor balcony/patio.  You'll find that the balcony is large & private enough for sitting & enjoying the sunrise or sunset, stargazing, or Patagonia-watching.   From the 2nd floor hallway there is a somewhat hidden staircase up to a (third level) roof observation area with breathtaking 360 views, perfect for taking in the evening skies.  The property is completely walled & private & the grounds are low maintenance although there is room for more gardening or other projects if you wish.  Centrally located & within walking distance to all that the village of Patagonia has to offer, this home will be great for year-round living or weekend & holiday getaways.

20 Wagon Wheel Lane, Sonoita, AZ 85637
$239,000 - TAR/MLS #20814509
Flawless craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this inspired high desert cottage on 2.29 acres of Sonoran grassland.  Artist-designed, this 817 square foot, 1 bedroom/1 bath home has a 410 square foot attached garage which was conceived & built with easy conversion in mind---for an additional bedroom, living space, studio, etc. thereby enlarging the living space of the home to approximately 1,230 square feet---should you desire to do so.  Special features include dramatic vaulted ceilings (with ceiling fans); unique, perhaps even collectable light fixtures & dramatic custom designed 8' x 8' storefront windows conceived with efficiency & elegance in mind.  These oversized windows each include smaller cross-ventilation window panels & a special, artist/owner made stained glass feature is a part of the bedroom window.  Each of the oversized windows variously frame breathtaking views of Mt. Wrightson & the Santa Rita Mountain Range (see the VIRTUAL TOUR ) while providing desirable passive solar benefits.  The elegant custom window shades (for privacy & sunscreening) will be left for the next owner.  The dry-set interior brick floors have a radiant heat system beneath, providing comforting even heat during the cooler months.  A cozy sunken soaking tub (with shower) sets the tone in the bathroom which, among other sensitive details, has a glass block wall which allows daylight to pour in.  Then there's the unique corner cabinet!  Everything in this delightful home is of the highest quality, including three oversized pocket doors for privacy---conveniently hiding away when not in use.  

The inspired design, custom features & numerous creative touches of 20 Wagon Wheel Lane make it a very unique Sonoita offering---for enjoyment as either a full-time or a weekend residence.  You will find that there is more than enough room for horses, a small barn or even another home should you decide to make existing house your guest cottage!  Once this home has sold there will truly not be another like it.  It's collectable!

368 Pennsylvania Avenue, Patagonia, AZ 85624
UNDER CONTRACT  $234,000 - TAR/MLS #20802698
This is a great family or vacation home at an unusually good price.  Sitting on a Patagonia town lot (50' x 135') this 1,262 square foot home includes three bedrooms & one bath & a large L-shaped kitchen-dining-living area/greatroom with vaulted ceilings.  The ceilings have been faced with natural wood panels, adding warmth & rustic charm.  Off the kitchen is a large walk-through pantry which leads to a sideyard (& then the backyard) as well as the washer & dryer area.  Lots of windows & french doors provide great garden views & daylight. 

The distinctive 'Alamo-like' front wall on Pennsylvania Avenue & the home's large front porch (with wraparound ramada) add regional charm as do the many decorative features inside, including saltillo tile floors & Mexican countertop tilework throughout the kitchen & bathroom areas.  The lot on which the home sits has been either walled or hedged for privacy & plumbing is in place for an outdoor shower.  There is convenient back alley access through a sliding privacy auto gate opening on to Roadrunner Lane at the rear of the property.  Situated in the HEART OF PATAGONIA, you will be able to walk to everything, including Patagonia's Town Park, local shopping & events, schools & The Nature Conservancy's famous Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve.

It should be noted that this home was professionally (& independently) appraised earlier in the year for above the asking price.  The property is situated in FEMA's newly designated floodplain (not floodway) as are many desirable Patagonia properties.  Very reasonable floodplain insurance is in place & is transferable to the next owner.

240 Duquesne Avenue, Patagonia, AZ 85624
SALE PENDING  $199,900 - TAR/MLS #20807003
240 Duquesne Avenue is a very stylish & substantially constructed little cottage situated in the heart of historic Patagonia.  This 900 square foot territorial-style burnt adobe cottage is a one bedroom/one bath with a small kitchenette; unusually high ceilings; a beautiful rock fireplace in the living area; saltillo tile floors throughout & a beautiful new bathroom with a vintage claw-foot tub that sits beneath a view window to the back garden.  From the front of the property on Duquesne Avenue one looks directly up to majestic Red Mountain & the Patagonia Mountain Range.  From the cottage's back porch (featuring hand carved cantera columns) one has a dramatic & unimpeded view of Mt. Wrightson & the Santa Rita Mountain Range.  

This special home is the completed first phase of a larger, architect-designed family home that was never fully executed.  With the sale of the property come the original architectural plans; however, it is our belief that the cottage is quite perfect as it is, or very nearly so---particularly for a raw-food enthusiast (reference: The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center here in Patagonia: http://www.treeoflife.nu/) or those desiring a simpler, less complicated life.  Then again, adding a full kitchen -or whatever your heart desires- would not be difficult & the home could be occupied during the process!  Either way, it's a wonderful opportunity whatever its final resolution.

The cottage fronts on to Duquesne Avenue not far from Harshaw Road & it backs on to Smelter Alley.  You will be within walking distance of everything in Patagonia, including The Tree of Life Rejuventation Center a short walk down Harshaw Road as well as numerous Coronado National Forest trailheads.  Sonoita & Elgin are 12 miles up the road; Nogales (& the international border) are 18 miles to the southwest down Scenic Route 82.  Tucson is 1 hour to the north.

Besides its fabulous location & lovely mountain views, this home has many unexpected qualities & great future possibilities.  It is a great Patagonia offering.

470 Grey Hawk Road, within the town limits of Patagonia, AZ 85624
$699,000 - TAR/MLS #20738800 

Originally built in 1920, this territorial-style mud adobe ranch home, sitting on 2.27 acres of stunning riparian habitat, has been artfully restored & expanded.  Many exceptional updates & handsome touches have been added---with loving attention to detail & execution while retaining the nature & authenticity of the original ranch home.  This setting is unusually private & quiet considering that it's within walking distance of central Patagonia.  Perhaps of greatest interest is its shared southern boundary with The Nature Conservancy's Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve: http://www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/arizona/preserves/art1972.html, world famous for its birding & unique habitat. 

This would be a perfect property for all natural history enthusiasts, including birders.  For those interested in owning a BED & BREAKFAST, RESORT/LODGE or a SPA/RETREAT, this property would be ideal.  Or how about raising ALPACAS or establishing an ORGANIC FARM?  The potential for many interesting busineses options or projects is unending---given its many unique charms & characteristics.   

The home itself is 2,157 square feet in size, with three bedrooms, two baths & a chef's kitchen.  Given the kitchen's corner location in the home, the views to the outside are outstanding.  The kitchen is adjacent to the lodge-styled living room which features high ceilings & a vintage rock fireplace.  There is an adjacent den or study off the living room which opens out to the back of the home & looks down to a the seasonal creek & its native growth & mature trees.  The walkway to the front entrance of the home -through a walled garden area- would be an ideal spot for a seasonal flower or herb garden.  Other rooms in the home also open out to patio areas or potential garden sights--all awaiting your green thumb. 

Included with the purchase of this home are two cute studio apartments.  They're attached, one to the other (i.e. one building) that is adjacent to the the main house.  They would make excellent guest quarters or seasonal rentals, a studio or office, etc.  Because this property is within the boundaries of the Town of Patagonia, adding additional facilities (cottages, a barn, studio, etc.) is possible.  Further, contiguous land is also available for purchase should your development plans require it.

29 Mission Court, Kino Springs/Nogales, AZ 85621
$225,000 - TAR/MLS #20749837
This is a perfect family home opportunity at an excellent price.  It sits on three lots at the end of a cul-de-sac atop a bluff which overlooks seasonal Santa Cruz River.  The views of the Patagonia Mountain Range &  surrounding habitat are breathtaking in addition to the fact that the home is not far from one of Kino Springs Golf Resort's greens.  The Kino Springs website, http://www.kinospringsgc.com/, should provide you with an immediate experience of this somewhat undiscovered & we feel underappreciated area situated between Nogales & Patagonia.  An interesting aside for vintage movie buffs---we understand that the main building of the Kino Springs Golf Resort was once the ranch home of Stewart Granger & Jean Simmons.  On another note, for those with school age children, The Little Red School House (http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/browse_school/az/1990) is located nearby, at the entrance to Kino Springs. 

Built in 1973, this 2,876 square foot burnt adobe home has a traditional floorplan with 3 bedrooms & 3 baths & an attached two car garage.  The home proudly reflects its substantially built 1970's heritage & awaits your ideas & special touches to bring out its new potential for your family.  Other special features include a breakfast area off the kitchen that has a bay window looking out to the patio; two Arizona rooms (one off the livingroom, the other off the diningroom); built-in cabinets & shelves; a fireplace; an unusually large dining room; lots of closets & storage & a nice sized bonus computer/project/sewing room off the kitchen.  There is a very large walled back patio for family enjoyment & entertaining with friends & the grounds surrounding the home have mature trees & native growth.  Also included is a separate studio building of of same burnt adobe construction at the rear of the property---with its own fenced garden or dog area.  This separate (bonus) building would not be difficult to transform into a guest cottage or a great play area or project room.  The unusually large lot is splittable should you care to do so.  Replacement of this home---at this level of construction (with burnt adobe) would not be possible today, at this price.
