Well, this is a story that needs writing…
In 1937, within walking distance of the Historic Downtown Wickenburg, Arizona, a custom ranch home was designed and built as a family compound. It was built perched atop one of the highest peaks in Wickenburg, giving the ranch an unobstructed 360 degree views for miles. Matter of fact, in 1937, this beautiful ranch home overlooked what was just the beginning of the build-up of Wickenburg, and today, accounts for one of the highest hilltop homes in ALL of Wickenburg and surrounding areas. The hill upon which this gorgeous ranch was built was not touched, leaving mother nature to give it the name it still holds today, “Sombrero Ranch”.
Fast forward to 2009, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has presented itself to the right buyer, and here is why:
The ranch was upgraded with so many details in the last 15 years, we don’t even know where to start, but here we go. Please remember, some of the historic value things (such as exposed beams, original tub-style baths, ceiling lighting, fireplaces, chimneys and so much more is ORIGINAL from 1937, even the roof is of original build and stands beautifully strong, just as the day it was built). Home was expanded to just over 5000 sq.ft. by the present owners so as to incorporate 6 bedrooms, and 5.5 baths. 4 of the 6 bedrooms are fully equipped (to ensure its “Bed and breakfast” capability for new owners”, or just incredibly warm living space for new buyers and their family members). The windows were upgraded to new, modern panoramic-style to ensure 360 degrees of mountanesque views all around, everywhere in the home. Entryways and doors were replaced, upgraded to ensure modern interpretation on a classic style, yet maintain the historic view and feel while ensuring long-term comfort in the home. Kitchen, appliances, plumbing, wiring, furnaces, heating, cooling, switches and every single detail was UPGRADED at some point in time in the last 5 years, and the overall maintenance and cleanliness of the property will leave you AMAZED! As you walk out onto the courtyard, you are greeted by a two-way fireplace which will come in very handy to keep you warm on those chilly winter nights. As the night falls, the upgraded (yet period-reflecting) lighting throughout the property will blow you away, giving you a soft glow into the night all around the ranch. The 3 car garage was recently modernized (in 2009) with new openers, ceilings, crawl spaces, windows, and of course, doors, as well as paint. Walking past the garages, you will be in the rear-most part of the ranch’s fenced space, with a gorgeous pool and a full-size cabana making the best of those hot summer days. As we exit the pool area, we walk a few hundred feet to the guest house, where anyone’s guests (or family members) will feel right at home.
Now that we’ve just skimmed the top (pardon the pun) of this incredible ranch, let’s talk about the possibilities, and why this truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The total land for sale with this ranch is 20 acres. Since the land surrounds the ranch, the ENTIRE hill is yours (yes, we said hill). With that said, the property is zoned RM-1, and as such, you are allowed to build up to 21 units per acre (condominiums/townhomes), or with such a phenomenal access to downtown Wickenburg, a multi-use motel/hotel, bed and breakfast, horse rides/stalls, or multi-family development is a DEVELOPER’S DREAM COME TRUE! And all of this on 20 acres with multiple access points around the hill. While pictures do it no justice whatsoever, we will be providing you with video in a few weeks to ensure only the best view of the actual property.
