The spectacular Dyck Ranch is one of the largest privately held properties in central Arizona's stunning Verde Valley. It is 314 acres of endless opportunities, with over a mile and a half of Wet Beaver Creek running through it year round and 22 acres of irrigated farm land with grandfathered water rights. There are 3 wells (including an agricultural well for field irrigation) and a 2500 sf limestone, 2 bedroom residence originally built in 1959 and remodeled in 2010 to be a stunning studio space with 18 ft ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a well fed pond ringed with mature trees. The ranch sees extensive wildlife and backs up to Coconino NFS and the Montezuma Castle National Monument. It even hosts its own cliff dwelling archeological site and a suspension footbridge. A 100 miles from Phoenix, 50 miles from Flagstaff and 20 miles from Sedona, the old Dyck Ranch sits at a temperate 3500 ft in elevation. The varied topography offers mesas, gently sloping hillsides, and rocky outcrops overlooking an extensive riparian environment, pastures and irrigated fields. There are numerous potential building sites available for buyers looking to develop and acres and acres of space from the neighbors for buyers looking for privacy. Originally owned by renowned Western artist Paul Dyck for over 65 years, the property has supported cattle and horses, as well alfalfa and hay production over the years and now boasts a solar array with batteries designed to allow the ranch to function off-grid if desired. This quintessential Western ranch and secluded artist retreat is looking to you for the next stage in its existence, be it as private ranch, a retreat center, a sustainable family farm, an equestrian facility, a vineyard/winery, a luxury eco-resort, a wedding/event venue, or an entirely new subdivision of luxury homes this land is ready for just about anything you can think of.
