Detailed Info About this Parcel:
Property Area & Surroundings
Driving up to the parcel, you'll notice the scenery shifting into classic Southern Arizona desert with mesquite trees, patches of cactus, desert shrubs, and that warm sandy soil. Located along Calumet Ave and Pyle Rd, both quiet dirt roads.
To the north and west, the mountain ranges give you a perfect backdrop for sunset. The views make the land feel like a true escape. Your porch or firepit would get a Lot of use as you watch the sun drop behind the mountains. And at night? you can watch the sky turns into a full-on stargazing show.
Terrain
The terrain is mostly level with desert soil. Build your villa-style home, or even a family gathering spot. The ground is a mix of sandy earth with scattered rocks, mature mesquite trees, ocotillo, cholla, and clusters of cactus. It's natural, scenic, and has plenty of spots where a driveway, courtyard, or small casita could fit in smoothly.
