There's a lot of difference between having room for horses and having a property that is actually set up for them. This one is set up. Six oversized 24' x 40' fully covered stalls anchor an equestrian setup that includes a 285' x 155' arena, a huge 210' x 55' shaded turnout, a second 100' x 55' shaded turnout and another shaded turnout measuring 60' x 50'. That is serious space, serious shade and the kind of setup that makes day-to-day horse keeping work. A private well consistently producing 20 gpm with water lines running to each area where horses or livestock may be situated ensures quick and efficient management of daily chores.

The same attention carries through the rest of the property. There's a 30' x 30' Bunger steel barn, a 12' x 43' trailer shade and plenty of thought given to getting trucks, trailers and equipment where they need to go. More than an acre of DG went into the driveway base alone. Gabion retaining walls aren't just good looking; they are another example of the substantial work that went into shaping and finishing this ranch. Twenty irrigated Palo Verde trees add an established desert landscape without pretending this is anything other than a working Arizona property.

And right in the middle of all that function is a home that was done with the same care. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and tile flooring throughout make it comfortable, practical and ready for ranch life. Top of the line appliances in the house make cooking and entertaining easy. What stands out here isn't one oversized arena or one impressive barn. It's that somebody thought through the whole property. Where the horses go. Where the trailer goes. Where you turn around. Where you need shade. Where water needs to be. How the ground needs to hold up. The unglamorous things that cost real money and take real work are already here, and they were done well.

Horse people will understand this property pretty quickly. There's a difference between buying acreage and buying years of work already completed. At Nine Irons, you're getting the latter.
