Your Gateway to Southern Arizona Living

You're 36 miles from downtown Tucson – close enough to grab supplies or catch a Diamondbacks spring training game, far enough to escape the traffic and crowds. Want some weekend adventure? Old Tucson Studios is 27 miles away for that Western movie experience. The historic San Xavier Mission, one of the finest examples of Spanish colonial architecture in the US, sits just 29 miles north. And if you're into astronomy (who isn't under these dark desert skies?), Kitt Peak National Observatory is only 41 miles away – home to the largest collection of optical telescopes in the world.

The Sonoran Desert surrounding your property is alive with saguaro cacti, palo verde trees, and wildlife ranging from roadrunners to javelinas. With 300+ days of sunshine annually and mild winters, you can work on your build nearly year-round. The elevation at 3,480 feet means you get desert living without the extreme heat of lower elevations.

Why Diamond Bell Ranch?

This isn't some fly-by-night subdivision. Diamond Bell Ranch has been welcoming homebuilders for decades. The county-maintained dirt roads mean you're not stuck paying for private road maintenance. Low property taxes ($39.42/year – less than $4 a month!) mean your carrying costs are practically nothing while you plan and build.

Here's the deal: you can build a custom home exactly how you want it. Site-built construction means you're in control – hire your own contractors, do the work yourself, take your time getting it right. The CR-1 zoning supports tiny homes too (minimum 1,000 sq ft per CC&Rs), perfect if you're looking to build smart and efficient.

What You'll Need to Get Started:

• Well or Water Hauling System: Common practice in the area – neighbors can point you to reliable well drillers
• Septic System: Required for any dwelling – licensed contractors available locally
• Power Solution: Solar is popular out here (and getting cheaper every year), or run lines from Trico Electric
• Building Permit: Valid for 1 year from Pima County
