THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE OF SONOITA/PATAGONIA offers a climate & vegetation that is remarkably unique to Southern Arizona. Located just 50 minutes SE of Tucson and at 5,000 ft. elevation, we are within a beautiful commuter's distance and a year-round enjoyable climate. Thousands of acres of open lush grasslands surrounded by mountain ranges, dotted with oaks, junipers, & mesquite trees, and graced by sycamore arroyos & cienegas provide this rare setting. Appreciation for our landscape and respect for individuality are the hallmarks of our community.
