Rio Rancho Verde

We're an Equestrian EcoRanch, committed to sustainability - reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose!

Learn more about this land:

LUX Magazine awarded us the "Most Serene Desert Accommodations and Horse Boarding Facility Southwest USA" in 2020 and 2023.  Million Mile Magazine named Rio Rancho Verde as one of the top 10 locations to celebrate the top short term rental platform's 10th Anniversary.  We were also selected by the other top short term rental platform (one of 5 out of 3500 vacation rentals in Scottsdale) for a social media presentation and a cooking series was filmed at our outdoor kitchen.  This 62 acre exclusive equestrian eco-ranch is located on the border of the Tonto National Forest, and is 3/4 mile from the Scottsdale Sonoran Preserve, yet only 20 minutes from North Scottsdale.  We offer boarding for your horse and packages include either a hookup for your trailer, a luxury 2 bedroom suite with pool and outdoor kitchen, a brand new 36' travel trailer with 3 slide outs, fireplace, queen size bed, full kitchen and big screen TV, or a Western chic casita/bunkhouse that has been interior decorated with Southwestern and Western accents, complete with a private courtyard.   There's plenty of wide open spaces to ride your horse, bike or hike on the many trails right outside our gate.  Or, simply stroll down to the barn and enjoy your morning coffee while the horses finish their breakfast.  We're big on sustainability, so we reduce, reuse, recycle and repurpose.  We have an organic garden on site and you're free to help yourself to seasonal veggies.  There's something for everyone at Rio Rancho Verde.  SORRY, WE DO NOT ALLOW TENT OR RV CAMPING UNLESS YOU ARE BOARDING YOUR  HORSE(S) WITH US.

Pinnacle Farms South

Pinnacle Farms is a diverse orchard with over 1200 fruit trees on 7 acres nestled at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix's old agriculturally diverse Laveen area.  A well kept secret, Laveen is only about 10 minutes by car to downtown restaurants and events, while having a rural feel, and the mountain preserves are within walking or biking distance.

This is the sign to look out for when you're driving in. Don't listen to Google Maps- look for this sign when it shows you're close. 

fresh eggs, honey, pickled veg, and more! 

Peach orchard in the background (tiny little trees I just planted, so you can barely see them)

The outdoor shower was much appreciated. There are instructions on how to use it and just call the host if you have any questions! 

Enjoy your campsite view of beautiful Four Peaks!

Cactus Rose Ranch RV Sites

Cactus Rose Ranch is 11 acres in the north Scottsdale/ Rio Verde area of Arizona.

 This special area is surrounded by the Tonto National forest on the north & east, the McDowell Mountain park on the south, Fraisfield Preserve on the west.  Several mountain trails nearby, of varied challenge.

 It is home to 360' awesome mountain views (sometimes purple, golden, or pink too), scenic desert vistas, and the best sunrises, sunsets, and starry nights in the world!

 Plenty of places nearby to hike, horseback ride, mountain bike, and explore

Enjoy staying on our desert ranch located in rural North Scottsdale/ Rio Verde AZ! Several restaurants near, and 30-45 minutes into Scottsdale and all they have to offer! (NO on site BATHROOM FACILITIES...NO TENT CAMPERS unless you are self contained)

The perfect retreat for those that like to see Arizona off the beaten path. Check out stellar mountain views, spectacular desert sunrises, sunsets, and star studded night skies! Wildlife and beautiful friendly birds. Listen to the quietness...and perhaps a night time coyote unique serenade.  Located near some of the best hiking, biking, and horseback riding, in the state. Please note that we are down about 1/2 mile of dirt road which sometimes might be a bit challenging for XL 40 ft 5th wheels and other very low riding RVs. Most RVs have no issues. (Sometimes, the road might be too narrow for 2 vehicles... so someone will need to pull over in the plentiful wider areas... pls give the other vehicle a desert rural ranch friendly thank you "wave".) ENJOY! Get that "Way-Out-West" feeling. Wrap yourself in western fun. Take time for enjoying a morning cup of coffee and taking in the mountain views.   Wi-Fi for computer and TV. Your comfort is important. 
This is a rural area and you will be serenaded by coyotes, mules, and roosters.  There are no street lights so the stars are magnificent at night.  There is about a mile of dirt road to get to the house, and it is reachable by most vehicles ( but maybe not a low-riding sports car). There are desert dirt pathways so bring appropriate footwear. 
We are nearby some awesome hiking, mountain biking, horse trail riding, world-class golf course, exceptional places to eat, unique shopping. Great fun!
