The Offering
The legwork for the future community of Old West Ranch Sahuarita is done - and all of it is for sale at once.
458 acres in one of Southern Arizona’s fastest-growing corridors, held as 14 recorded, covenant-protected ranch parcels of 12.31 to 39.44 acres and offered as one bulk sale. The parcels were previously listed for sale individually - a buyer can put them right back on the market at retail, sell to end buyers one at a time, or develop the community as a whole. Phase it however you want.
The groundwork: surveys recorded, corners pinned and marked, soils tested, underground electric to every parcel line, two wells drilled and active, and the community identity already built - entrance monument signage and the stone mailbox cluster roundabout are in the ground. Each parcel carries recorded build rights for 5 dwellings (4 residences plus a guest house) with no further approvals needed, and the covenants fix the count at 14.
The land itself: public road frontage on all 14 parcels, 8.25 miles of owner-only trails, direct access to BLM and Arizona State Trust land, and sweeping Sonoran Desert views between the Santa Ritas and Sierritas. Minutes to Sahuarita services and I-19, about 20 to Tucson.
Full due diligence package available upon request. LET’S MAKE A DEAL.

The Land
Saguaro-studded bajada in the Santa Cruz Valley - the Santa Rita Mountains rising to the east, the Sierritas and Keystone Peak to the west, Helmet Peak on the north edge. Seven of fourteen parcels border BLM or Arizona State Trust land, an 8.25-mile dedicated trail system runs the perimeter and interior, and every corner on the ranch is pinned by recorded survey.
Direct I-19 corridor access - Nogales port of entry approximately 45 minutes south, Tucson International 30 minutes north.
The Inventory
Every parcel has frontage on and access from public exterior roads per the ADRE public report - Helmet Peak and Mission Road are completed public paved roads and Avenida Uno is a completed public dirt road, all maintained by Pima County with costs included in property taxes. No private roads to maintain.

Illustrative Concepts
Illustrative renderings - concept build-outs of one parcel's recorded build rights: four residences plus a guest house. Not existing construction.
Infrastructure & Improvements
Record of Survey recorded with Pima County, Sequence No. 2024-2980615 - fourteen parcels, boundaries and corners all defined and complete.
Trico Electric Cooperative facilities completed to every parcel line - a sunk cost you inherit, not a line item you fund. No poles, no overhead lines across the view.
Two parcels carry drilled, completed wells. Potential well sites have been identified on the remaining parcels and marked in the field.
Every corner pinned and marked with 10-foot PVC pole markers - walkable boundaries on every parcel, so you can show your buyer their land without calling a survey crew.
A private, owner-only riding and hiking trail runs the perimeter and interior of the ranch, providing direct access onto thousands of acres of adjoining public lands. Built and complete, maintained by the parcel owners for an estimated $132 per parcel, per year.
Covered stone mailbox cluster with bench, western sculptures, monument, signage, and perimeter fencing - the community improvements are built and in place.
Recorded build rights for up to four residences plus a guest house on every parcel, subject to Architectural Review - no rezoning or plat approval required. A single 36-acre ranch gives your buyer a substantial multigenerational improvement basis.
The recorded covenants prohibit further division of any parcel - fourteen recorded parcels today, fourteen in fifty years, and every neighbor inside the ranch plays by the same rules.
Every build passes review under the recorded declaration - your investment is protected by the same covenants that constrain it.
Recorded with Pima County, Sequence No. 2024-3120469, restricting use to residential estates - the framework your end-buyer's value depends on, already on record.

The End Buyer
Picture three generations on one deed. Grandparents in the main house, the kids in a second home across the wash, a guest house, a barn for the horses - all on thirty-six acres, all built by right.
Nearly one in five Americans now lives in a multigenerational household, and there is almost nowhere in the Tucson metro where that family can legally build it. Here they can, on any of the fourteen.
Your buyer has already toured the tract product and walked away. They want a horse, a shop, open desert out the back gate, and neighbors who bought for the same reasons. The recorded covenants close them for you - fourteen parcels forever, architectural review on every build, and the view they paid for stays the view they keep.
The lifestyle sells itself. They ride from their own parcel onto thousands of acres of BLM and State Trust land, then reach Fry's, Northwest Medical Center, and Sahuarita schools in five minutes - Tucson in twenty.
And the groundwork is behind you. Your buyer walks a parcel, sees their boundaries, and starts drawing plans the same week.
