For sale!!

43517 N. 12th St, New River, AZ 85087

Our Arizona property is a fenced, 2-acre 'dog park' with a lighted agility area and plenty of large covered pens for dogs and livestock.  There are 4 oversized, covered horse pens, graveled parking for 3 large trailers behind secure fences with lots of drive gates for easy access to every area.  The stockdog/horse arena is 120x115 with an adjacent 50x300 turn-out in a mesquite shaded low area that usually is cooled by a breeze. Western open-sky living with lots of quaint storage buildings.

We are at the end of cul-de-sac with custom homes all around. All properties in the area are 1 or more acres with no HOA's. The front has a mature desert-blooming landscape with automatic water.  We left a lot of native landscape and used just enough high ground for a nearly 2300 sq ft house with spectacular mountain views and a 24x40 shop with high walls and a big roll-up door. The home has many upgrades with lots of floor space (for doggies!).  There's a brand new salt water pool behind the house with an easy access entry (for exercising the dogs, of course). 

It's rural but still convenient to the Phoenix metro area in a growing prestigious area.  We're semi-retired and in a year or two we will move to our 37-acres in Colorado (see photos below) where we'll build a home and open a handyman business to keep Gary busy.  Until then, he keeps himself occupied fabricating agility equipment and doing a little consulting.

We will move to Colorado sometime in the next couple years. 

But until then, it'd be a pleasure to welcome you if you ever get out Arizona way.

Our 37-acre Colorado property is a true treasure.  It's a 1-1/2 hr drive west of Colorado Springs in a 8500-ft valley between 14K-foot mountains (Pikes Peak and the Continental Divide), which provide a barrier to typical Rocky Mountain winter weather making a micro-climate that is relatively mild. The plan is to semi-retire there and build a modest old-style ranch home with a wrap around porch for the spectacular views.  Come pull up a chair on our porch and watch the doggies run with us, once we get the roof up.

In the meantime, we take the Aussies there whenever we can and spend time enjoying the majesty and serenity of this remote, high place we feel blessed to call our own.
