The land is equipped with essential agricultural infrastructure, including pens, cattle shoots, and a large, versatile adobe outbuilding/shop, ideal for various uses, additional equipment or a shop. The main residence is a remodeled 1,822-square-foot building, complemented by a guest casita with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchen/laundry room. Although the residential structures are served by a 35-gallon exempt well, the property also includes an irrigation well, which, when operational, could pump up to 500 gallons per minute. The grandfathered water rights allow for the pumping of 73 acre-feet of water annually, making it perfect for agricultural pursuits. With its close proximity to Interstate 19, offering easy access to Tucson and Nogales, this property combines a rural lifestyle with convenient access to urban amenities, making it an ideal location for those seeking a self-sustaining operation or a peaceful retreat in the Santa Cruz Valley.
