Shadow Hill

Looking for land nearly exhausted my husband and I. We had looked at properties all day. Decided to stop and get something to eat and head home to call it a day, when we stopped at Sandy's RV and restaurant up the street (great food btw). Met a woman who told us about the water table there and she said "I wish you could find someone to sell you land like I did; its the best way yo buy). She wasn't kidding! Turns out she forgot her friend at the fruit-stand out front had 80 Acres to sell! We went right over to look at the land and the rest was history! It was breathtaking! I hope you feel the same way we did when we first stepped on it; just peace and safety.Learn more about this land:Survey the beautiful night skies on a private 80 acres lot with breathtaking views panoramically. The property sits in the shadow of the Chiricahua Monuments, as these monuments are less than 25 miles away from the property. Camelback mountain is within feet of the property as well. The property has a private hill that takes up 20 acres of the property. Surrounded by mountains all around, there is no bad view! Nearby winery, family restaurant, and Katchner Caverns. Come enjoy a meal by fireside with family and friends. Elfrida is higher elevated and has mild autumn nights and warm days. The nights sky is majestic and clear enough to count the stars. I look forward to hosting you, your loved one, or family and friends.
