- A rural ranch in McNeal, Arizona, is looking for a new owner who can forgo a mortgage.
- The 18-acre plot is outfitted with three hand-built adobe domes, a well, and is powered by solar.
- It’s “not for someone who appreciates having a washing machine and a refrigerator,” its agent said.
An 18-acre ranch in the Southern Arizona desert is looking for a new owner who’s willing to rough it.
The $279,000 property doesn’t have electricity — so that means no washing machine or refrigerator — but it isn’t too far from the nearest town. Ransom Ranch, is located in McNeal, Arizona, only a 35-minute drive from Bisbee, Arizona, as well as the Mexico border.
The property has 12 fruit trees, an organic garden that grows flowers and nuts, and a private well. But the showstopper on the property are its three adobe domes.
The domes were built by stacking sandbags filled with earth on top of each other, layered with barbed wire for stability in between, and finished with a cement mix.
Everything is powered by solar and there’s two “Humanure” outhouses, making it a pastoral experience.
“It’s just a different way of living,” listing agent Kimberly Ewing, of Bisbee Realty Inc., told Insider. “But certainly it could be a year-round private residence if someone was willing to take that on.”
The unique property will force any buyer to embrace their settler urges. Check it out.
