My First Property as an Arizonan. Had plans for a massive RV Resort, but, the Wash, killed it. Seems there was a large building, built in the area of the Wash that was small at that time. Mother Nature, came along with a very large rain storm n ended that building, not sure what year , but still looking into it.
The view is fantastic and the sunsets beautiful.When you think of a big house, ancient ruins along the Gila River might not come to mind. Yet Casa Grande, or Sivan Vah'Ki as native cultures call it, sits as a monument to a thriving agricultural community in Arizona. This place existed as a stop-off point and oasis in the desert well into the 1300's. No one knows why the Hohokam left this river valley and abandoned their structures. That remains a mystery.
You can see the remnants of the Hohokam's culture today as part of the Casa Grande ruins. A massive, four-story stone structure rises from a flat desert plain about 15 miles from the town of Casa Grande. It's one of the largest prehistoric structures in America. The Big House was part of a network of settlements connected by irrigation canals. On your way there, marvel at tall saguaro cactus plants that dot the landscape.
Bring sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat, because temperatures at Casa Grande can exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. (It cools down to a manageable 80 degrees in the winter.) Luckily, a huge pavilion provides shade over the tallest structure.
