Remarks
This Diamond C Ranch is probably the last large land parcel available in the Sonoita area that has not been subdivided. Given its elevation and topography, this property has much more oak tree coverage than most of the Sonoita area grasslands. The Diamond C is also uniquely wedged between the Babacomari Land Grant (to the north), the Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch of the Audubon Society (to the east) and the Coronado National Forest (to the south) which all combine to provide a buffer against future development adjacent this property.
