About this property
A couples retreat, hiking trails, horse boarding available, Desert Hills.
This one bedroom, one bath Casita is ideally located close to all the Phoenix area amenities, yet is in a rural neighborhood surrounded by other horses properties. Set on a 7.5 acre parcel, the Casita is part of a working horse training facility that includes a roping arena, horse stalls available for a fee. There is also a 3 bed 3 bath house available for rent on the same property. You can bring your own horses to board(contact owner for price and availability) or just come to enjoy all the other surrounding activities that are close by. Situated close to the town of Cave Creek, the Casita is within waking distance of the Maricopa Trail and Sonoran Preserve. It is minutes away from the Ben Avery Shooting Range, Lake Pleasant, numerous great golf courses and North Scottsdale. Whether you come to greater Phoenix area for horse events, golfing, hiking, “The Barrett Jackson”, “Phoenix Open”, spring training games, shopping or ATV/UTV riding, you’ll find this Casita convenient to all these attractions. It is also convenient to great restaurants and entertainment.
If your into the Roping and Barrel Racing events that go on all winter in Phoenix, we are located near several Arenas, Dynamite Arena is only 15 Min away, Town of Wickenburg is only 45 min away and has several Roping arenas and Barrel races going all winter! Morris Town is 40 Min away for a couple Roping Arenas. Buckeye Arena in Buckeye AZ is only a 45 min drive from this house! And so much more!
The Casita is furnished with a queen size bed, couch, microwave, small refrigerator, coffee pot, utensils and small BBQ grill outside. It has a TV and air conditioning. A small patio with table and chairs gives a nice outdoor feel. Lots of natural desert vegetation, including saguaros, palo verdes and mesquites, surround the Casita, providing a private setting.
