When looking at the photos, take care to note the home's many special

hand-cut architectural wood detailing; Mexican tile work &
the many special painting touches that occur throughout the property, inside & out. This property has all the attributes,
charms, comforts & unique qualities one typically only dreams of when considering relocating to this
very special part of SE Arizona. The 14 acre, gently rolling hillside
setting is gracefully buffeted by surrounding properties, insuring an unusual level of privacy given how conveniently
situated it is to Patagonia. Per The Nature Conservancy, this area is known as one of only two Ecoregions ranked
as the most biodiverse in the southwestern United
States (based on six biological values)---see this map in La Frontera Realty's office! This fact in part explains
the unusually rich wildlife & enormous bird population (including a famously large variety of humming birds) that
visitors travel long distances to experience. This is a very special custom home in a particularly unique
setting. It's of the variety that very RARELY comes
on the market & once it's gone, that will be that! ♣
