About this property

Come relax and enjoy the serenity and adventure that what awaits you on the edge of the Sonoran Desert in the Tonto National Forest. Ridgeway Ranch sits on two and a half acres of pristine desert and takes advantage of 360 degree mountain views. Wake up with the desert and experience beautiful sunrises while enjoying a hot cup of cocoa on your private patio.

Head into 'town' and spend the afternoons shopping and dining in historical downtown Cave Creek, or if you prefer, relax poolside with your favorite book and a fresh brewed iced tea. Brilliant sunsets usher in serene beauty, the excitement of the desert wildlife, and the crackle of a cowboy campfire just waiting for stories and tall tales.

Relax at the end of the day in front of hugh flat screen HD TV in living room and master bedroom. We'll Be Waiting For Ya....

Great Desert Getaway.

This property is wonderful. The inside is bigger than expected. Plenty of room to spread out. But the real gem is the pool and outside area. We enjoyed relaxing out side all day and into the evening. What a place to visit after a long cold winter. Will definitely try to book this home again.

The pictures do not capture the essence of this place

The property was more then what I expected from the pictures. There is a certain peacefulness and serenity that the pictures could not capture. Though there we a few tweaks I could see being helpful I would say I would most likely want to stay in the house again and would recommend to others looking to stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Maria Arrick

I am a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker with Lennar Homes. I previously worked 5 years for Four Seasons Resort at Troon North selling fractional/timeshare until sellout last April 2009. This experience at the ultra exclusive Four Seasons Toon, situated in the Sonoran Desert, provided the background for the decoration of this southwestern charmer in a truly old western theme.

Why they chose this property

We love Old Town of Cave Creek. One of the few Western Towns remaining in Arizona. Everything one could want to live near: fine dining, great galleries, shops and just a great old western town theme minus all the franchise type businesses except 2 that were establshed long ago. A really cool town! It is driving distance from the airport and the ultra chic Scottsdale, with all the elegant restaurants, shopping and theaters, andhowever far enough away to keep it from getting too crowded. Also driving distance to the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinals sport complexes.

What makes this property unique

I love all the views from all the windows. Lots and lots of light. At night, you see and hear the moon, coyotes and owls. During the day, on numerous ocassions I have seen the deer that live in the gulch that runs through the back of our property. At night, it is so quiet and serene along with some fantastic Sunsets and Sunrises. You feel so out of the way of city life, yet close. The secluded feeling of the home setting takes you back to how it must of felt living in the West in the old days!
