Comments                          
The DK Ranch is an extremely rare find in Arizona.  There are very few large horse properties left on Oak Creek.  With over ¼ mile of frontage on the Oak Creek, this property is truly unique.  The location is ideal within 1.5 hours from north Phoenix and Scottsdale and fifteen minutes from the red rocks of Sedona. The scenic setting offers privacy as well as access to some of Arizona’s spectacular wilderness areas and historical sites.  This is an exquisite horse ranch and retreat that potentially could be utilized for a vineyard, a bed and breakfast and commercial horse boarding facility or it would make a beautiful year round estate. These assets make the DK Ranch a rare investment opportunity.
