A more than 1,700-acre ranch with three homes, multiple apartments, two barns and its own lake in Patagonia is for sale. The asking price is almost $29.95 million.
It’s the priciest property to be listed in southern Arizona in the past three decades, according to Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.
Called Rail X Ranch, the estate was built in 1937. The family of the late Jim Kolbe, a well-known Republican from Tucson, bought it in the 1940s, and the former U.S. representative grew up there. The Kolbe family owned the ranch until 1960s.
The property, located south of Sonoita and near State Route 82, has a total of 17,956 square feet of living space, including 15 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms.
The main home has vaulted ceilings, a grand fireplace and black-and-white checkered floors.
