49 San Antonio Road, Patagonia AZ 85624
UNDER CONTRACT - $325,000 - TAR/MLS#21103380
Featured in Bill & Athena Steen's book SMALL STRAWBALE, Natural Homes, Projects & Designs (p.178-182), this AUTHENTICALLY REGIONAL residential compound sits on 14 secluded acres at the very edge of the village of Patagonia.  With 1,999sf total living space, the Main residence is 1,218sf & includes one Bedroom & Bath, & a Greatroom that beautifully incorporates the Living, Dining, Kitchen & Study/Alcove areas for a uniquely welcoming & comfortable experience.  The Guest Casita is 781sf & also includes a private Bedroom & Bath as well as a smaller Greatroom that includes Kitchen & Sitting areas.  At 90 degree angles & connected by the covered Ramada, both buildings face onto the gently walled interior Courtyard & enjoy dazzling views of Red Mountain (the Patagonias) & Kunde Mountain (the Canelo Hills).  From the motor court & the western exposure of the Guest Casita, big views of Mt. Wrightson (the Santa Ritas) are front & center.  The property also includes a separate Studio/Workshop, a 523sf 1-car Garage with lots of storage & a 305sf workshop area as well as a 1-car Carport.  The covered Porches linking the Guest & Main houses & can be used as outside Living/Entertaining spaces for almost-year-round enjoyment (even sleeping porches!).  When looking at the photos, take care to note the home's many special details, including hand-shaped doorways & windows (which are uniquely deep because of the Strawbale construction); 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!
