2305 S Old Black Canyon Hwy, Dewey, AZ 86327

The Aqua Fria River originates in an area most recently known as the home of Young's Farm in Dewey, AZ. Just downstream at the southern tip of the 400+ acre farming valley is the historic town of Humboldt. This area highlights the mix of the days-gone-by farming era and the approach of development as a vibrant community grows anew. For the first time in more than 50 years the opportunity exists to purchase and establish your own legacy of land, water, agriculture and family stewardship on this 23+ acre farm/ranch. The current owners have painstakingly improved the historic main home, the second home that is perfectly designed and appointed and a stand-alone studio/office. The property is served by sprinkler irrigation from one of two irrigation wells that are properly registered through ADWR with historic water rights of 79 AF/Yr. The largest well is capable of producing up to 1,000 GPM while the fields are currently irrigated using a smaller, dynamic producing well. Domestic water is produced by yet a third well. The working facilities feature six pastures (4 with loafing shades), cattle handling facilities, a hay barn, 7-stall breezeway barn with tack room and a stand-alone shop. The entire perimeter of the property is fenced with no-climb wire highlighted by a beautiful iron-gate entrance. The main house and barn area are served by off-grid solar power with battery backup. The irrigation wells have electric pump motors with APS power service. The main home is 1,556 square feet featuring 2 bedrooms and 1.75 bathrooms, a spectacular great room highlighted by rough-sawn wood beams and a rock fireplace, living room, kitchen/dining area, office and utility room. To provide additional flex-space there is a finished attic with a drop down ladder that makes a great hideaway for the "younger generation." This home was completely remodeled in 2015 with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and no detail left untouched. The second residence was remodeled in 2013 with new doors and windows, hardy-board siding, metal roof, insulation, plumbing and electricity. The interior upgrades include a fabulous kitchen with granite counter tops, new cabinets, new flooring and paint. This home offers a very open, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom split floorplan plus an office. A spacious attached carport provides convenient parking. The last structure is a 700 sf, 3-room heated and cooled studio/office/guest house with a ¾ bath. This metal roofed structure is ideal for many uses. For the green-thumb lover of the outdoors there is a garden area, multiple fruit trees and blackberry vines. This property is located at 4,500' elevation with what many locals consider to be the ideal 4 unique-season climate. Parcel 402-06-021D also is included in this sale!
