| The Sante Fe style property, newly built in 2005, sits on 15 acres and is located adjacent to the San Pedro River in St. David, just north of the National Raparian Area. It is easy walking distance to the river to better view the many birds that frequent it during the year.
The property is visited by many wild animals, including bobcat, deer, javalina, coyotes, hares and rabbits and numerous birds of all types.
The great room has 12' ceilings and a fireplace to enjoy while you sit back and listen to music or watch satellite tv or movies that are available for viewing. The room also includes a pool table and a display cabinet with many pieces of indian carvings and other art objects.
The dining room features a hand made 12 foot long mesquite table that was salvaged from a junk shop and refinished by Mike.
The covered back patio looks out onto the cottonwoods that line the San Pedro and the Dragoon Mountains behind it. This area has tables that can be used for outdoor dining or just relaxing.
The Property has 4 spacious rooms, each with a private bath, and are themed for the activities that were historically in this part of Southern Arizona.
The entire building is centrally heated and air conditioned.

If heading east take Exit 303, if west take Exit 304 and go through Benson on Highway 80 toward Tombstone. Continue driving south approximately 6 miles to Apache Powder Road, just after milepost 298. Apache Powder Rd veers off to the right as AZ 80 turns toward the left.

Continue on Apache Powder until it ends and you are forced to turn left onto Escalante. Go east on Escalante over the rail road tracks and continue through the open gate (there is a sign at the gate that states "DMR Ranch" "Road Closed No Trespassing or Hunting"). Continue straight down the road past the cut off power poles for approximately 1 mile to Efken Place. Turn left onto Efken and proceed to Down By The River at 2255 Efken Place. |
