Property Description
Opportunity is abundant for someone looking to create their own private retreat. The main home features artisan details not found in today's homes from the saguaro rib lined patio covers, to the iron details found throughout the home to the spectacular built-ins that many of us dream about today. The main home features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three half-baths. Expansive windows naturally light up the dining room which seats at least 20. The exceptional sitting room is quite perfect for the most festive gatherings you can imagine! This room features an amazing hidden built in bar, concrete fireplace and access to one of the many balconies with views, views, views. Additionally there is a fantastic cantina downstairs that simply must be enjoyed. The kitchen is open and sunny which certainly doesn't make preparing meals feel like a chore. Of course there is a Butlers Pantry and pass through for ease of entertaining. Additionally there is a detached casita featuring a library, living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main home and casita sit on top of the property where the significant crystal clear diving pool is located as well. Sipping ice cold lemonade on one of the many patios, pool decks in the higher elevation, makes Arizona summers more than bearable as Patagonia is typically 10-15 degrees cooler than the hustle and bustle of Tucson. Additionally on the main compound are two additional homes, three apartments, a steel building, barn/workshop and of course a large office suite to easily manage the ranch or daily activities of the property.
Rail X Ranch has the added benefit of having an artesian well on the property with Water bubbling up and feeding a transportation ditch to deliver this precious resource throughout the ranch. Combined with 8 wells situated throughout the property the Ranch has a unique and valuable asset in its water resources. To complete the picture, The property is also one of the few ranches in the area which has maintained ownership of the mineral rights for the property. This asset provides "land security" now and into the future. Additionally, the acreage adjacent to the main compound has been permitted to be sub-divided should the new owner wish to sell off parcels.
After decades without hunting, wildlife abounds at Rail X Ranch, including deer, dove, quail, and even javelina. The birding is exceptional, with more than 260 species documented in the nearby Patagonia Sonoita Creek Preserve. Just South of town, there are myriad opportunities for fishing and boating at Patagonia Lake State Park; and the area is filled with wonderful opportunities for horseback riding and hiking.
Bordering on the Coronado National Forest to the east, this iconic and unique ranch is apart of Arizona's History and Heritage providing privacy and view security in a rustic setting yet with all of the upscale amenities to enjoy and cherish your living environment.
