Some of the High Points:

This beautiful custom home is situated on a 2-acre horse property – The house has 2,656 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an attached 2-car garage, a huge living room, spacious eat-in kitchen, large pantry, great upstairs deck, with quality appointments and features throughout. 

House is drop-dead gorgeous in the Santa Fe or Territorial style that is so well suited to this climate.  Built of reinforced concrete block, this house is made to last in every way.  All windows and sliding glass doors are dual-pane low-e insulated.  Amazingly well insulated, easy to cool with the whole-house evaporative cooler system or the dual heat pump systems - also easy to heat with two fireplaces (both on propane with gas logs) or the dual heat pumps. 

 

Horse facilities include a 1-acre IRRIGATED and fenced pasture plus 9-stall Mare Motel with a circular training arena.  Stall Area has multiple gates that allow several different configurations of horse access or isolation.  Close horseback access to riding trails and mountain preserve.  There's plenty of room between pasture and house for a pool, barn, tack shed, workshop - all of these plus whatever you desire. 

Why is IRRIGATED so important ??  That's what separates this two acre parcel from being just two acres of desert like so many other properties listed in Arizona.  This plot is watered by a separate system completely independent of normal city water that feeds certain areas through a network of canals that allow portions to be completely flooded on a periodic basis.  This is how farming and ranching is properly done in the desert - this irrigation water is much cheaper than city water (which the house also has, by the way) and the property is laid out with berms that control the irrigation flooding, allowing the full pasture and the garden area to be irrigated for maximum growth and productivity at minimal cost, while the barn site and mare motel / arena area are raised to stay dry.   Lots more info on irrigation and some pictures of the system are on the Horse Facilities page - link below.

So just how much is irrigated property in this area worth ??  A check of the MLS found three irrigated 2-acre 'raw land' lots listed, including one directly across the street from our property.  These are priced at $299,000, $325,000, and $339,900.  These are unimproved land with irrigation available. 

And just where does this place our offering ??  Current prices per square foot on all homes sold in Maricopa County (Phoenix and all the surrounding cities including Waddell) has been slowly declining from a peak of $157 down to $119 in April 2008**.  The average price of the three advertised lots works out to a fraction over $320,000 - placing the price of the house at $80 per square foot, not counting the mare motel or any of the other property improvements !!

On top of the cable and network wiring, there's also stereo speaker wiring to multiple locations inside and outside plus there is preinstalled wiring for a Security System routed to windows & doors plus wiring run to multiple keypad locations (again, only the wiring is installed - the security system sensors and electronics have never been installed - but the most expensive part is done).

And in addition, the electrical power wiring to the house also exceeds all normal requirements, with many additional outlets located everywhere and multiple high-power circuits run to several locations - for example, there's two extra 20-amp outlets in the garage for both a refrigerator and a freezer.
