Notes- The Split Rock Ranch is presented to you by Scott Thacker of AZ Ranch Real Estate for the first time in 40 years. The ranch boasts over 6000 acres of deeded lands and patented lands, located adjacent to Paradise Arizona in arguably the most beautiful scenery in Arizona.  This is a strong working 200 plus head cattle ranch, pregnant with immense unrealized potential. The future of this ranch is bright.  Increased AG production could be developed in the irrigated lands.  If you have the interest, the potential for real estate, retreats, and/or vineyard development should be explored.   "Buyers may also purchase the East side of the ranch with: 4,000 Deeded, A Ranch House, 7,000 Acres of State, 1,200 Acres of BLM and the Irrigated ground for $1.6 Million. Ask Scott Thacker for details."
