About this property

Peaceful SW-style ranch home in wine country

Welcome to our southwestern style ranch home in Sonoita/Elgin, Arizona's beautiful wine country! Our home is 2,600 square feet and sits on 20 acres, and is even walking distance to one winery. Our entire home is available for a wine country getaway. With three bedrooms (two king/one queen), two full bathrooms each with dual vanities (and a half bath), an amazing kitchen, dining, and living space, and super high-speed Internet, our home is ideal for two or three couples or a family getaway. You can also get married here!

The house has a beautiful Arizona room with eastern-facing views of "The Biscuit," a mountain feature looking like a rising pastry in the oven. With a cozy reading spot, the Arizona room is perfect for all seasons to enjoy sunrises and the stunning views of the rolling plains. Off of the spacious breakfast nook are the Santa Rita mountains, one of the original famous "Sky Islands" in Arizona that towers above the desert floor.

The Willhelm Family Winery is a short 15-minute walk down the road and across the street. A dozen wineries are all just around the corner, so be sure to check them out! Broadway musical buff? The musical, "Oklahoma!" was filmed here. Just down the street is where the famous train station scene was shot. The neighborhood gives you true country vibes with longhorn cattle grazing nearby.

Enjoy watching western films like "Tombstone" on the 4K TV on the southwestern-style furniture. Or just go to the real thing: Tombstone and Bisbee, another old West town, are just about 45 minutes away.

The sky is very dark at night so you can enjoy some stargazing. The Sonoita-Elgin region is not only wine country, but it's also one of the best regions for birding in the world.

We’ve added a ceramic heater/electric fireplace to the Arizona Room, along with binoculars, so you can try to spot some wildfire during the day or stargaze at night, all from the comfort of being inside.

You can stay plugged in with complimentary and super fast WiFi suitable for working from home. (We’ve both done video conferencing at the same time and the speeds are awesome.) We also installed a cell signal booster system that boosts the signal of all major cell phone carriers within the house.

Although check in is 4pm (because it’s a large house and we need time to clean it), if there aren’t guests leaving that same day we are happy to entertain reasonable requests for early check in.

We had a 30 amp installed so you can hook up an RV.

Wine country tour

The home is well designed and bedrooms are spacious with nice appointments. The Arizona room is especially nice in the early morning was the sunlight warming the room. We would hope to get back again some time in the Spring when the high desert would some greenery. The land around the property would be beautiful.

beautiful and relaxing property.

we had a great time . really, really nice house. we hope to visit again some time when we can spend more time. everything was very clean and comfortable. It didn't bother us, but it is probably time to clean weeds out front around the bricks and the air conditioner area. outside it was so quiet and comfortable. what a pleasure. definitely would stay again.

The home was a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the beautiful open area. We went wine tasting, hiking and road our side-by side exploring beautiful trails. Had an amazing time at the Steak Out restaurant with a live country band. We will return! Thank you for sharing your SW-style ranch home! Barb from East Mesa, AZ

Exceeds Expectations

This property is amazing. If you haven’t been to this part of So. AZ don’t miss the opportunity. This is a gorgeous house that is blissfully peaceful. Great host! A thing to note, the road to the property is dirt/rocks (along with most winery drives). Don’t bring a low profile vehicle, gets a little hairy especially when it rains.

Beautiful, natural setting, expansive views, and safe place to relax!

This spot became one of our favorites as soon as we set foot on the property. It is a large, bright home, and very reasonably priced for how much it offers. It’s a great, safe neighborhood for jogging with lovely vineyards right down the road. There is a wonderful little courtyard outside with an incredible view. The kitchen was huge and very well equipped. It was everything we needed and more. Ilan, the owner, was very kind and generous as well. We are excited to return to this spot as soon as we are able! Thanks again.

Second stay just wow!

My second stay in this beautiful, secluded house situated on twenty acres in the beautiful wine and cattle raising grasslands of Sonoita / Elgin was just as spectacular as my first stay. The furnishings of the house match its exquisite architecture. I got to watch the long-horn cattle family again frolicking and ranging and even drinking in a trough adjacent to the house. Great photo opportunity! You will also see plenty of birds, hawks, and a rabbit or two. You will no doubt enjoy your stay in this immaculate house situated on this wonderful property.

Great for dogs

My dogs loved the property and had plenty of room to run around. The house is basic, didn’t have a blender or a can opener that worked. Overall decent furnishing, but a very cold house. The coffee maker was old and did not make good coffee, but they had a French press that worked. For this price outdoor area with real furniture would have been nice, instead of having to drag portable camp chairs in and out. Tap water was wonderful tasting!

Beautiful spot in wine country.

The house was in great shape, beautiful views, and had plenty of space for us. It requires a bit of driving for supplies; and, for us, to see a relative in Whetstone, but the scenery is worth it. Just a couple of notes: the main faucet in the kitchen drips constantly no matter how hard you press the handles. It would be handy to have a baking pan for pies which my wife likes to make often. There really are couple of places a small dog like ours can get through a fence so we could not have her loose without a leash; which is contrary to what the owner related.

Great quiet property with awesome mountain views!

The property is private and very quiet, which also means it is close to nothing except for the local family vineyards. If you are visiting Sierra Vista or Fort Huachuca, please keep in mind this property is a 35 minute drive to the Buffalo Soldier Gate and further to main Sierra Vista. The miles are deceiving because it takes 15-20 minutes just to get out to the main road from the country roads this property is on. Overall the property is nice. Cleaning was something to be desired - weeds prevented us from using the front door, bugs in master bathroom and pet hair on the beds and furniture. The property manager communicated well and offered a slight refund for the options. If you are a coffee drinker, they offer a traditional coffee pot that takes over 30 minutes to brew. If you have never been to the West before then this property offers great mountain views, a beautiful sunrise out back and sunset in front along with cows, steer, rabbits, deer, etc. There is no door on the master bath to the bedroom so it is very bright in the morning which could be an easy fix by adding a shade to the block window over the tub. Overall, this is a nice property that needs a little TLC to make it a 5-star type property.
