For more than seven decades, horsemen and visitors from around the globe made the pilgrimage to this extraordinary ranch, forever securing its place in the history of the Arabian horse. Nestled on approximately 78.8 enchanting acres beside the lush riparian corridor of Sabino Creek, the property is a sanctuary of towering cottonwoods, ancient mesquite trees, Arizona sycamores with their white bark, mature eucalyptus, broad green pastures, and sweeping Catalina Mountain vistas. Meandering lanes shaded by a magnificent canopy of trees create an atmosphere of timeless tranquility that feels worlds away, while remaining just minutes from Tucson's finest shopping, dining, and amenities. Featuring 25+ structures including homes, residences, barns, indoor and outdoor arenas, pastures, five wells, access to city water, and all on city sewer, Al-Marah Arabian Ranch offers the perfect location for your dream ranch, a family compound, a multi-generational locale and so many more possibilities. Today, this irreplaceable property represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the steward of one of Arizona's most celebrated ranches . . . a place where history, natural beauty, and an enduring equestrian legacy come together in a setting unlike any other in the American Southwest. Some properties are purchased for what they are. Al-Marah is acquired for what it represents . . . a legacy that can never be recreated.
