| Paw Paw Nin selling the rancho |
| Yes, this is Arizona. Nestled between the Chiricahua Mountains and the Dragoon Mountains, at an elevation of about 4000 feet, there's a country town known as Richland Ranchettes. It's about an hour from Tucson, or 30 minutes from either Benson or Willcox, near the town of Sunsites (yes, there's a golf course). Rancho PawPawNin is located on a dirt road, about a mile off pavement. There are mountain views on all sides, and it's quiet. Out the front windows, you are looking at a large farm with silver silos in the distance. There is wonderful trail-riding, 4-wheeling, and abundant Nature here. |
| The main house features a tree-lined circle drive in front, and abundant landscaping. There are more than 16 large pines. The main house has full length porches front and rear (rear porch is a screened porch) and a new red metal roof. It has central air conditioning, loads of storage, two utility rooms, and lots of built-ins. It has two large bedrooms and two full baths, with both garden tub and shower in the master, and double sinks in both. There is a large kitchen with pantry, and all appliances. |

| Two guest houses adjoin the main house, attached to the screen porch in the rear. Each has its own heating and cooling unit/controls, and each is a one bedroom, one bath unit with kitchen and living room. These share a common hallway between them with exits to front and back yard, but each also has a private entrance. Each of these units has its own range and refrigerator. The big utility room at the end of the screened porch has storage shelves, big freezer, washer and dryer. There are cement slabs fore and aft, for patio furniture as well as fenced yards fore and aft, with a doggie door to the screened porch. This could be a great home for a family with add-on relatives, or could be an ideal rental property or bed and breakfast. |
| The property is 5 acres, fenced and cross-fenced. It includes its own registered well, which has a new pump and lives in its own well house/workshop. There is also a storage shed and a metal shed for tools/lawn equipment. There are 3 large pastures and 1 smaller pen for livestock. There is a double carport for vehicles and/or hay storage. The property is currently listed for sale with Jackie Talley of Coldwell Banker/Di Peso Group in Benson, AZ. The price is $139,900...well under market for fast sale.

| And if that's not enough to entice you, here are some more snow scenes to get you through the hot summer wherever you are. |
| The little dots in the sky here are the sandhill cranes, doing one of their regular formations in the winter. This area is known for its abundant wildlife and starry skies at night. |
