Named by the original owner, Mel Eason, a major league umpire in the early 20th century, the Umpire Ranch is comprised of a 74.21 acre parcel is set in a valley of the rolling Canelo Hills. Bordered to the East and West with open Forest Service land, this property provides quiet privacy and ample opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, and watching the abundant birds and wildlife. Built in 1916, the 1845 square foot, two bedroom/one bath adobe and wood ranch home could either be remodeled as a comfortable main home, or with multiple additional building sites, would make a handy guest house to live in while building your dream home. A large, stone fireplace currently provides most of the heat for the home while ceiling fans and cooling breezes keep the home comfortable during the hotter months. A large screened porch offers a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. A rarity in Arizona, the home also includes an outdoor accessed basement area. Constructed at the same time as the ranch house, the barn was the site of many community barn dances and, with a hoop installed upstairs, basketball games, making it a piece of local history. In need of some TLC, the wood and adobe barn includes four stalls, a tack room, and a large loft that matches the footprint of the ground floor. The barn is hooked up to both water and power and has a concrete floor on the lower level. The property lies along the seasonally flowing Turkey Creek with large Sycamore trees lining the banks. Black Walnuts, Oaks, and Junipers also provide shady areas around the home sites and in the grassy pastures. Local rainfall averages approximately 25 inches. Whitetail deer, wild turkeys, javelina, bobtail cats and multiple varieties of birds have been seen on the property. The parcel also includes two private wells, several fenced pastures, and has no CCR's. The property is dividable and is easily accessed from Hwy 82 and the Canelo Pass Rd. Comments This beautiful property offers the new owner the opportunity to paint their own canvas. With multiple building sites available, the property could be developed into a family compound, B&B, equine training facility, or just be kept as a quiet, private retreat.
