35213 S RIVER RIDGE Road #44 Black Canyon City, AZ 85324

*Price Improvement! A Kings Ranch View Lot! Located in a 49-lot custom home subdivision nestled in a canyon at 2000 ft elevation, with paved streets, friendly neighbors, and some homes approaching $1M in value, the community, views and tranquility you want are here. Just 250 yards from the beautiful Agua Fria river, the lot overlooks the river canyon from well above. The river runs year-round & you get incredible mountain & canyon views with year-round lush greenery uncommon to find in the desert...and even beautiful fall colors around Christmas! This neighborhood is a hidden gem that may just offer the best desert views in the Phoenix metro area. Nighttime temperatures are 10-15 degrees below those in Phoenix, & those beautiful monsoon storms Phoenix residents can only view at a distance up close and personal here.
Hiking, mountain biking and ATV opportunities abound with many thousands of acres of BLM land with trails galore just across the river. The trail-head for the widely acclaimed Black Canyon Trail is just two miles away, or the trail itself can be intercepted with a 15 minute walk from the property. The river is a beautiful, peaceful, secluded riparian area with gated access from subdivision common property open to Kings Ranch residents only.

The lot backs to subdivision common property where no-one can build. The lot's pad has been expanded and its compaction verified by an engineering firm as required by the county. The owner applied rock to steep surfaces at the front of the lot to protect against erosion and has stockpiled enough matching rock on the lot to finish the less steep areas at the front of the lot after utility lines are run. Planters constructed at the front of the lot have rain-drip lines run to the rear of the lot in anticipation of being attached to an irrigation system. A huge flat address boulder has been placed next to the driveway, ready to showcase your family name and/or address.

Electricity, water, sewer, phone & natural gas are all available at the property boundary. Fiber internet will be available later this year, or cellular-based Verizon home internet also works well in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is very quiet, having only one way in and out, and while only a few minutes to I-17, it is behind a mountain, so the area is very peaceful and private.

The typical reaction people have seeing Kings Ranch for the first time is, "Wow, I had no idea such a beautiful place existed so close to Phoenix". Come see for yourself!
