PHOENIX – A historic, sprawling Arizona ranch with a private lake can be all yours if you can wrangle up about $30 million.
The Rail X Ranch is for sale with a $29.95 million asking price, the highest for a residential property in the southern part of the state in the last 30 years, listing agent Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty said in a press release Wednesday.
“Every once in a great while a part of Arizona’s history comes available on the market,” Gary Brasher, associate broker with the Scottsdale-based agency, said in the release. “A signature property that is unique and breathtaking in its beauty and as diverse as the Arizona landscape, the Rail X Ranch is such a property.”
The Rail X Ranch was built in Patagonia, south of Tucson, in 1937. The 1,700-acre spread is located off State Route 82, next to Coronado National Forest, and has three standalone homes, two barns, a casita and three apartments.

How big is Arizona’s Rail X Ranch?
The main residence with casita has 11,398 square feet of living space, with eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and three half-baths.
All of the living space combined provides 15 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and four half-baths across 17,956 square feet.
The private lake isn’t the only water feature. The ranch also has a pool and a rare artesian well that flows without mechanical intervention.
Another selling point is that the property retains its mineral rights.
