Come home to the spectacular sunset views of the Catalina and Tucson Mountain ranges to relax in the serenity of Tucson Mountain Park near Sweetwater Reserve. Ideal for shared or family housing for medical personnel or other professionals, the historic Magic K Ranch property is just 20 minutes from Banner University Medical Center and the University of Arizona campus. It is 15 minutes from Pima Community College West and Downtown Campuses, and Carondelet Saint Mary's Hospital. The main house was first built in 1895 and was the center of activity for the horse and cattle ranch that served Tucson, the nearby Wells Fargo Depot and the Silverbell mine from 1895 to 1950, when it became a dude ranch, catering to visitors at the Arizona Inn and other bed and breakfast type establishments in the Tucson metro. The original mud adobe structure has undergone several renovations over the years. The home now covers 2,286 square feet with three covered porches, two master suites, and a kitchen, along with a living room, dining room and office, each having a fireplace. Previous tenants have used the office as a third bedroom. There is also an Arizona room, with a cast iron, wood burning stove. The backyard is fully enclosed with a solar heated pool and an outdoor shower with exterior access to a Talavera tiled bathroom with an ocotillo ribbed ceiling. The master suite has a tin ceiling with an enclosed, private garden area. There are Saltillo and porcelain tiled floors throughout the home. Appliances include a gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, along with a washer and dryer in the laundry room. There is central A/C and gas heat. There are three separate fenced areas outside of Arizona room entry from the double carport. There is a $2000 security deposit. The monthly rent is $2500.00 with a one year lease. Other lease periods can require different rental rates. Utilities are not included. There is a $250 non-refundable fee for each dog, with a maximum of two allowed. Special rules apply if you have a cat since we have allergies, so please inquire if that is the case. There is a service animal exception, as required by law. The Magic K Ranch was founded in 1895 by a Mexican couple. They raised cattle and provided horses for the Wells Fargo Depot which is just down the street. The original mud adobe house is that part of the main house that includes the living room, the kitchen, and the guest bedroom suite. Since that time the formal dining room, the library/office/possible third bedroom, the current master bedroom suite and the enclosed Arizona Room and laundry room have been added. It is now a 2286 square feet structure with stucco over all exterior walls. According to the USPS and County records, the main house's address is Unit #4. The name Magic K comes from the second owner - The Magician - whose real name is unknown. He continued operating the ranch as well as working the saloons in Southern Arizona as a show man. He then sold the property to a family who owned it for quite some time. They sold it to a Realtor who then sold the property to us. The 1045 square foot house just north of the main house was formerly the foreman's house. Its official address is 3400 W. Goret Rd. #5. It is predominantly constructed of double brick with stucco over it. To the south are three casitas, #1, #2, and #3; 489 sq ft, 464 sq ft, and 464 sq ft, respectively. They were the homes of the ranch hands. They, too are double brick covered with stucco. Just north of the casitas is the old adobe cook's house. It is designated on the records as #6, and sometimes it is noted as office/storage/laundry. The building itself is 300 sq ft. and it apparently has an unpermitted addition that is a combination workshop and storage room. It has electricity and a wood burning stove, but no septic or toilet facilities. At some time in the past it had a gas hot water tank which was removed when the gas meters were installed at the other five units prior to our ownership. Next to #6 is the corral and chicken/duck/goat pens. The corral area could accommodate covered RV parking. It is a short distance from the electrical service if a hook-up was desired. Likewise, when septic service is installed for this unit a dump station could also be easily incorporated. The previous owner told us that one potential buyer thought of turning this area into a venue for outdoor meetings as they were considering the property as a Bed and Breakfast. There is also a pump house just east of #5 where the well is located. It is not in service and is not connected to the current water supply, which is city water. You can hear the water when you manually turn the pump wheel so the possibility exists that it could be resurrected to service the pool and provide irrigation to the property.
