Nice Lot in Beautiful Rio Rico
263 Manzana Court : Rio Rico, AZ 85648
Santa Cruz County, Arizona
Land Description
Attention: Please read the entire description thoroughly to avoid redundant questions.
Here is a nice 0.53 acre lot in beautiful Rio Rico, approx 1 hour south of Tucson.
In my opinion, this is the prettiest area in Southern AZ - NO exaggeration.
I am retiring and selling this at a giveaway price.
There are several lots for sale near mine, all listed for a lot more.... check the MLS and Zillow and see for yourselves.
I just (10-20-24) lowered the price to the absolute bottom line... no further discount is possible, so lease don't ask....
Buy with confidence... I'm a seasoned Pro - not a novice. I've been in the land business for close to 20 years, with thousands of completed sales.
I am also offering this with short term owner finance (if needed)... please read on...
I know this area well, and you will not find a large property of this quality at this price... most definitely not with owner finance.
There are several recently taken pictures in the gallery.
The lot is approximately a 5 minute drive from I-19, via Rio Rico Drive exit.
There is a home behind the lot, and a home across the street from it.
Power and water are on the street and available for hookup.
Sewer by septic.
As seen in pictures, the lot has nice views from it. The terrain is slightly up-sloped. Please review the pictures and maps in the gallery.
Free and clear marketable title is guaranteed, and all taxes are paid up to date.
Good schools, restaurants, banks, supermarkets in Rio Rico are within 10 minutes of the property.
Here's A Short Recap About The Area:
Rio Rico is a planned community located in Santa Cruz County, 57 miles south of Tucson and 12 miles north of Mexico. The community's 39,000 acres roll gently down from the Santa Rita Mountains through the San Cayetano Foothills westward to the Santa Cruz River. The area around and including Rio Rico was once part of a tract of the “Baca Float”, a tract of approximately 100,000 acres granted by the U. S. Congress to the heirs of Luis Maria Baca as the result of an early, unclear grant from the Spanish government.
The community had its beginnings in 1969 and continues to grow at a steady pace. Once a sleepy border community, Rio Rico is now growing at a rapid and consistent rate of 7% annually. According to US Census figures the population in 1990 was 1,407, growing to 10,413 in the year 2,000; and now Rio Rico Utilities reports that they are extending water service to nearly 20,000 residents. In 2017, the median household income of Rio Rico residents was $48,977.
Located at an elevation of 4000 ft. gives Rio Rico a moderate climate throughout the year. Summer highs are from the 90's to low 100'S and winter, a little colder due to higher elevation, ranges from low 30's to high 60's. There are two lakes located in area. Rio Rico has an excellent school system (one high school, two middle schools, two elementary schools and one preschool). Rio Rico is approximately one hour from Tucson, one hour from Sierra Vista and 25 minutes from the Patagonia Mountains. Some of the best golf courses in southern Arizona are located in our area. Rio Rico is active in sports and houses State Champion Little League teams.
Building standards for this area only allow site built homes. No camping in Rv's - No Trailers - No mobile homes.
There is NO Hoa or Poa, and no time limit to build.

If you need financing, here are the terms:
Purchase price: $6,500
To get started: A Down Payment of $500 shall be paid via Paypal. Zelle, Venmo or Cash App are also acceptable.
I will send the buyer a Paypal invoice upon being notified you are ready to purchase this property.
Down Payment will be deducted from the purchase price, and I will owner finance the remaining balance of $6,000 in 10 monthly payments of $600.
$10 per month for prepayment of property tax shall be added to monthly payment.
A contract for deed will be sent to buyer upon receipt of Down Payment.
A discount of $1,000 for paying in full within 5 months.
When/if ready to buy, these are the steps of the purchase process:
1. Buyers email me their full name and address.
2. I then prepare the contract and email it along with a secure Paypal invoice for the initial amount to get started.
3. This initial payment must be submitted within 24 hours, and I then mark the listing Sold.
Note:
I am semi-retired and under no pressure to sell. Please take all the time you need, whether it's doing your due diligence, going see the property if possible, consulting with those you need approval from on buying, etc, etc...PLEASE don't send an email saying you are ready to proceed, if in fact you're not..."Drills" are unwelcome and unnecessary.
Also note:
I am selling "vacant Land" - not entering into a "Landlord-Tenant" relationship...
That being said, if your intention is to start developing / living on this land right away, and/or placing "objects" on it, then you cannot buy this land on contract, and must pay for it in full right away.... 100% use requires 100% ownership.
I need to mention this because I've had a few folks who presumptuously assumed since they paid a few hundred dollars to get into a land contract, they can now "move right in" and do as they please.
