Geological giants, massive and astounding with names such as Elephant Head Arch, Tortuga, and The Three Sisters, stud the landscape and define the incomparable Rancho de las Rocas. This 1,065 acre private preserve encompasses some of the most dramatic terrain in southeastern Arizona. Monumental rock formations, grassy pastures dotted with wildflowers, and natural ponds combine to create a place like no other in Texas Canyon.
Wildlife, including mule and whitetail deer, javelinas, mountain lions and bears, abound on the ranch; the birding is spectacular. Recreational possibilities are endless with bouldering and rock-climbing routes, and trails for horseback riding and hiking. The current owner has improved the ranching facilities, built additional roads, and added new high-capacity water storage tanks. The ranch has electricity and wells that provide water sufficient for current livestock...

Homesteaded in 1870, this Cochise County ranch has had only three owners and has remained throughout its history a hidden gem, secluded by massive boulder fields and cliffs. Yet, it is only two minutes north of Interstate 10 and just 40 minutes west of Tucson. With its superb location and astounding natural beauty, Rancho de las Rocas is the sort of unique and truly special place that rarely becomes available.
