77.25 acres of fenced-in land hold seven residential homes, a barn with horse stalls, a helicopter pad, a gazebo, a fishing pond, tree house, a group ramada, and a three-bay maintenance garage in a massive Payson property
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, known for representing some of Arizona’s finest and most extortionary properties, continues that long-standing tradition with a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime property, La Cienega. The 78-acre expansive dude ranch is at the base of the majestic Mogollon Rim, the 200-mile-long escarpment in the world’s largest Ponderosa Pine forest.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce that 1804 Pyle Ranch Road, La Cienega, in Payson, Arizona, is available for sale at $5.900,000 by Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Agents Frank Aazami and Nancy Read. Our very own Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Rusty Lyon, previously owned this property. The Lyon family donated the property to ASU and then was purchased by the Earnhardt family, who are also big donors to ASU. The property is currently owned by the Earnhardt family.
With various outdoor experiences spread across the property, from trout streams to hiking trails, this property meshes frontier adventure with opulent living to create a luxury estate with rustic charm. The expansive La Cienega Ranch contains seven residential homes that contain 18 bedrooms and 15 baths in 14,989 square feet of living space. These homes are the Main House, Gingerbread House, Mother-In-Law House, Manager’s House, Bunk House, and Hill House.
The Main House is a two-story rustic log cabin meant for entertaining guests and friends. Downstairs the house opens into a large family room and living room with a massive fireplace. The primary bedroom has a large bathroom, half bath, recreation room, formal dining area, and large kitchen branch off from the central guest greeting area. Upstairs a secondary bedroom, bathroom and loft expand to a grand deck and balcony perfect for looking out upon the house’s courtyard. Attached to the house is a two-car garage with a mechanical workspace. This garage represents only 2 of the 9 spaces spread across the property.
Gingerbread House gets its name from the intricate design and decorations found throughout the house. Its proud two-story wooden frame sits majestically upon stone construction. Inside, the southwestern architecture breathes life into two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a family room with a fireplace. Outside a screen porch and covered entry let visitors enjoy the outdoors while stepping away from the tranquil interior.
The Mother-In-Law House is a two-story home with wood frame construction holding three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The interior contains new flooring and updated appliances including a built-in microwave and ceiling fans built into vaulted ceilings. Plant shelves, plantation shutters, mirrored closet doors and a soft water system fill out the home. The house also has a two-car garage with a utility room. Outside, a deck with a screen door lets visitors listen to a babbling stream that runs year-round directly behind the home.
The Manager’s House was built in 1970 with a square footage of 2,736. This home has two beds and two baths, a living room with a fireplace, a family room and formal dining area. Additionally, the property contains a loft, office area, two-car garage with a workshop area and a large covered porch.
To complete this Western dream, three more homes dot the estates. The Bunk House, built in 1986 with a wood frame, is 904 square feet. This single-story home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a large covered porch. Hill House, built in 1991, is 1,045 square feet and has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a covered porch. Finally, the Trailer House is a single-wide manufactured home with 521 square feet.
Find your new, rugged adventure in the modern Wild West at La Cienega Ranch, with the nearby hiking trails, lakes, mountains, trout streams, and campsites. The property has been renamed No Torro Ranch. The name comes from Earnhardt’s famous “No Bull” motto at https://www.nobull.com/.
The property is also surrounded by Gila National Forest land, offering wonderful hunting opportunities. Hone in on the Arizonan experience courtesy of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.
