Horse Lover's Dream Property! Experience true Verde Valley ranch living on this exceptional just over 11-acre property with approximately 560 feet of Verde River frontage, offering a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and natural beauty. Surrounded by Arizona State Parks, Prescott National Forest, the Verde River corridor, and conservation easement land, this setting provides a sense of seclusion that is increasingly hard to find. The ranch is thoughtfully set up for equestrian and livestock use with multiple fenced and cross-fenced pastures, including sections of durable pipe fencing, allowing for easy rotation and management. A well-designed 1,786 sq ft steel horse barn features eight stalls and a central breezeway for efficient daily operation. An open arena measuring approximately 275' x 120' is already in place, composed of river silt and level--ready for customization to suit your riding discipline. Water is a standout feature of this property, with irrigation rights delivered via the Verde Ditch running along the west side of the ranch. The system is already in use and set up with piping, supporting pasture maintenance and agricultural flexibility. The 2,112 sq ft ranch-style home, originally built in 1952 and remodeled in 2013, blends classic character with modern updates. The kitchen has been fully upgraded with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large island ideal for gathering. Bathrooms have been updated with tile showers, and the oversized mudroom/laundry area is designed for ranch living with built-in cabinetry, sink, and additional workspace. A spacious office or bonus room with custom cabinetry and laminate flooring provides flexibility for a home office, hobby space, or guest overflow. Wood flooring runs through the main living areas, adding warmth and continuity. Outdoor living is maximized with nearly 800 sq ft of covered porches spanning two sides of the home--perfect for taking in the surrounding landscape, watching livestock, or enjoying Arizona's year-round outdoor lifestyle. Additional improvements include an 896 sq ft detached garage, full perimeter fencing, and gated access for security and ease of use. A rare blend of Verde River frontage, usable acreage, and well-equipped equestrian infrastructure--ready for your ranch vision.
