Comments
The Rockin' River Ranch is an extremely rare find in Arizona. There are very few large horse properties left in the Verde Valley and with over a mile of frontage on the Verde River this property is truly unique. The location is ideal. It is just over an hour from north Phoenix and Scottsdale and thirty minutes from the red rocks of Sedona. The scenic setting offers privacy as well as access to some of Arizona's spectacular wilderness areas and historical sites. This is an exquisite horse ranch and retreat that potentially could be utilized for a bed and breakfast and commercial horse boarding facility or it would make a beautiful year round home. These assets make the Rockin' River Ranch a great investment opportunity.
