All rolling hills against the Coronado National Forest, the Pedregosa Mountain Range, with breath-taking views up to 150 miles into Mexico, New Mexico & Arizona. The entire north side of the two sections are two miles long and all against the Chiricahua National Forest. Northwest and northeast portions of the boundaries are against state land. One Section is totally fenced, the second Section on 2 sides. This is rural property with rustic dwellings about 18 miles from the city of Douglas Arizona, in Cochise County.

There is legal access for each of the two sections of the property; two separate roadways. One is a winding natural road that drives you up to the hills to one section, the other access needs work to be a year round road. There is an interior road running about 1/3 along the first section that joins a road on the second section that travels north above the south-east edge to the highest point. The Roads start at 4,800' elevation, go over 2 miles to the highest point at 6,200'. The top of the road is a land-bridge into the National Forest.

This land has been home for a *green* community of folks who left only a small footprint on the land, using about 40 acres total. There is one main building and several small casitas (tiny homes). About 1,160 acres of raw land has been untouched. There are 10 fruit or nut trees, 25 other trees or bushes have also been planeted on the land; some are 16' tall.Rainfall averages 45% more than Douglas, two 2 water wells, and lots of water storage. One well is powered by a windmill, the other is solar powered. Many different areas have garden plots where sod has been brought in and preserved. A 1,500 gallong diesel or gasoline tank allows ag-fuel to be stored (no road fuel taxes). There is no electricity to the land, however there is the option of gaining a utility easement to bring in electricity and a hard-wired phone along the access road that has been in place and in continuious use since 1940 or earlier.

There are several types of home sites on this land. If you want to be sheltered you can put your home into a little canyon surrounded by hills. If you prefer the great panoramas you can get up on top of a hill and see into the Dragoon Mountains or the Sierra Madres of Mexico, or into western New Mexico. The mountains are constantly on the rise to the north to the east. A benefit to this is the ability to put your home high for the panorama views and still have some land high behind you to place a water tank for gravity feed and utilization of natural energy.

This parcel is zoned RU4 or can be separated into 30+ "ranchettes". There are several expansive, elegant country homes built within 8 miles of this property. It could be a "Dude Ranch!" for vacationing city folks. It could be a "green living " community.
