The Story
7619 North Artesiano Road
Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind Tucson area ranch property, where history meets modern rural living. The original structure dates to the Prohibition era and carries the storied rumor of having served as a speakeasy, giving this burnt adobe home a character no new construction could ever replicate. So notable was the property that it was featured in the November 1945 issue of Arizona Highways magazine. A later addition brought two bedrooms and two bathrooms, blending the old-world charm of the original build with everyday functionality. Set on 5.7 fully field-fenced acres with no HOA and just steps away from Saguaro National Park West, Safford Peak Ranch is a true working property. The equestrian setup is exceptional, a five-stall barn with tack room (sink and power), a hay barn, a riding arena, and direct riding, running and mountain biking trail access into the national park make this a dream for horse and outdoor enthusiasts. Power was upgraded to 200-amp service in 2020, and a 50-amp RV outlet with well water hookup sits conveniently next to the barn where the former owns had their RV for guests. The property also features a separate garage, chicken coop, two raised-bed gardens (stock tank style with soil), and fruit trees including fig, lime, pineapple guava, pomegranate, Chinese jujube, mulberry, and Santa Rosa plum. A tractor is available for separate purchase. Whether you're looking to run horses, homestead, or simply escape to a property with soul, Safford Peak Ranch delivers on all fronts.
