This month's best buys

Posted at 4:12 PM, Oct. 1, 2007

Our Sonoita-Elgin-Patagonia market is quite a bit different this year versus previous years. Along with this, there seem to be some homes and land offerings that are particularly attractive. What follows are what I consider homes and land worthy of taking a hard look at because they represent excellent value in our market. Some are my listings, of course, and most are not. Please contact me for further information on any of these:

Land - Look in Papago Springs for a small lot with water. 2 lots under $65,000. Elgin represents the best value for nominal 5 acre parcels. 2 lots at $65,000. Elgin also has some values on nominal 10 acre lots. 3 lots between $165,000 and $199,000. One 20 acre parcel in Elgin stands out at $225,000. For larger parcels (36+ acres), Sonoita Creek Ranch has several starting at $249,000. For a really large parcel, try the Crown C. 72 acres for 425,000.

Homes - One of the best values on the market for someone not needing a large parcel of land is in Casas Arroyo. 2,348 square feet for $395,000. If you want more land, there is a nice, 20 year old home in Sonoita Hills. 3,180 square feet on 4.16 acres for $449,000. If you need a larger home, try Papago Springs. 3,308 square feet on 1.98 acres for $595,000. If you are looking for lots of land and horse facilities - and are not immediately concerned about a larger home - then there is a real value in the Crown C. 1,400 square foot house on 81 acres and one of the best horse barns in the area. Lastly, if you need a lot of space, there is a 5,000 square foot house on 20 acres close to the crossroads. Price, $1,125,000.
