fuck it, let's freehold this land









This 18.62 acre parcel is in Coronado National Forest an hour or so from Tucson. What’s really unique is its western boundary is the 38,590 acre Rincon National Wilderness.

Wilderness is a formal federal land use designation (requiring an act of Congress for its creation), whose aim is to preserve unspoiled land in its natural state. Although you can walk in wilderness, wheeled vehicles and motorized recreation is prohibited and commercial activity is not allowed. Better still, behind the wilderness border to the far west lies a remote portion of Saguaro National Park. As a result, these vistas are little changed since territorial times.

At 4,200’, this land is high off the desert floor – cooler, quieter, and still wild, its very different than the flat sand and bristly cactus many imagine to be Arizona. You’ll find mule deer and coyotes; tall oaks and manzanita; seasonal creeks, and even a waterfall at the head of the valley. And the night skies are filled with uncountable stars.

Before tiny houses came to fore, I lived here in a 28’ Airstream travel trailer. I had a well drilled (the water is great), but even though there is electricity on the road, I lived off the grid (this is a perfect place for solar power).


My land could be just the perfect place for your tiny home.
