Elgin, Arizona
Welcome to our southwestern style ranch home in Sonoita/Elgin, Arizona's beautiful wine country! Our home is 2,600 square feet and sits on 20 acres, and is even walking distance to one winery. Our entire home is available for a wine country getaway. With three bedrooms (two king/one queen), two full bathrooms each with dual vanities (and a half bath), an amazing kitchen, dining, and living space, and super high-speed Internet, our home is ideal for two or three couples or a family getaway. You can also get married here!
The house has a beautiful Arizona room with eastern-facing views of "The Biscuit," a mountain feature looking like a rising pastry in the oven. With a cozy reading spot, the Arizona room is perfect for all seasons to enjoy sunrises and the stunning views of the rolling plains. Off of the spacious breakfast nook are the Santa Rita mountains, one of the original famous "Sky Islands" in Arizona that towers above the desert floor.
The Willhelm Family Winery is a short 15-minute walk down the road and across the street. A dozen wineries are all just around the corner, so be sure to check them out! Broadway musical buff The musical, "Oklahoma!" was filmed here. Just down the street is where the famous train station scene was shot. The neighborhood gives you true country vibes with longhorn cattle grazing nearby.
Enjoy watching western films like "Tombstone" on the 4K TV on the southwestern-style furniture. Or just go to the real thing: Tombstone and Bisbee, another old West town, are just about 45 minutes away.
The sky is very dark at night so you can enjoy some stargazing. The Sonoita-Elgin region is not only wine country, but it's also one of the best regions for birding in the world.
We’ve added a ceramic heater/electric fireplace to the Arizona Room, along with binoculars, so you can try to spot some wildfire during the day or stargaze at night, all from the comfort of being inside.
You can stay plugged in with complimentary and super fast WiFi suitable for working from home. (We’ve both done video conferencing at the same time and the speeds are awesome.) We also installed a cell signal booster system that boosts the signal of all major cell phone carriers within the house.
Although check in is 4pm (because it’s a large house and we need time to clean it), if there aren’t guests leaving that same day we are happy to entertain reasonable requests for early check in.
We had a 30 amp installed so you can hook up an RV.

Very rural and peaceful setting. Expansive views of mountains. Essentially no neighbors except a few longhorn cattle. Very easy driving distance to wineries. The house is comfortable, well maintained, and stocked with everything we could possibly want. The owner is very responsive.
The home was a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the beautiful open area. We went wine tasting, hiking and road our side-by side exploring beautiful trails. Had an amazing time at the Steak Out restaurant with a live country band. We will return! Thank you for sharing your SW-style ranch home! Barb from East Mesa, AZ
We had a great stay!! The house was beautiful. Fantastic views from any area of the house, great location, clean, and very warm & welcoming. We came with other couples to celebrate my husband's birthday and we were impressed. We will be back! Thank you!
The house was wonderful. Very quiet at night, and clear skies to see the stars.
We visited the area for wine tasting and the house was a perfect location. It was as pictured and had a well stocked kitchen. We spent the evenings sitting outside and enjoying the peacefulness. Overall great experience, and would definitely stay again!
The property is private and very quiet, which also means it is close to nothing except for the local family vineyards. If you are visiting Sierra Vista or Fort Huachuca, please keep in mind this property is a 35 minute drive to the Buffalo Soldier Gate and further to main Sierra Vista. The miles are deceiving because it takes 15-20 minutes just to get out to the main road from the country roads this property is on. Overall the property is nice. Cleaning was something to be desired - weeds prevented us from using the front door, bugs in master bathroom and pet hair on the beds and furniture. The property manager communicated well and offered a slight refund for the options. If you are a coffee drinker, they offer a traditional coffee pot that takes over 30 minutes to brew. If you have never been to the West before then this property offers great mountain views, a beautiful sunrise out back and sunset in front along with cows, steer, rabbits, deer, etc. There is no door on the master bath to the bedroom so it is very bright in the morning which could be an easy fix by adding a shade to the block window over the tub. Overall, this is a nice property that needs a little TLC to make it a 5-star type property.
My second stay in this beautiful, secluded house situated on twenty acres in the beautiful wine and cattle raising grasslands of Sonoita / Elgin was just as spectacular as my first stay. The furnishings of the house match its exquisite architecture. I got to watch the long-horn cattle family again frolicking and ranging and even drinking in a trough adjacent to the house. Great photo opportunity! You will also see plenty of birds, hawks, and a rabbit or two. You will no doubt enjoy your stay in this immaculate house situated on this wonderful property.
we had a great time . really, really nice house. we hope to visit again some time when we can spend more time. everything was very clean and comfortable. It didn't bother us, but it is probably time to clean weeds out front around the bricks and the air conditioner area. outside it was so quiet and comfortable. what a pleasure. definitely would stay again.
Great home in the heart of wine country. Very clean and comfortable.
We started here for the weekend to check out the wineries. The house was perfect and they views were amazing! Ilan was very responsive and helpful. Hope to go back soon!
Nice
Private and peaceful. Clean and spacious. Highly recommend. The addition of a coffee grinder would be awesome!
This place was AMAZING!! We went here for our “honeymoon” , we eloped near by and stayed here with our 2 young kids for a few days after. It was the most peaceful place and we hope they will have us back !
Wow – just spectacular! A beautiful house situated on twenty acres in an area of like sized properties in the beautiful wine and cattle raising grass lands of Sonoita / Elgin. The furnishings of the house match its exquisite architecture. Have you ever seen a bull and a cow (the female – yes, they have horns too) with their young together up close? You just might. Now imagine watching this singular family frolicking and ranging on what must be hundreds of acres on the surrounding properties. They might even come to a drinking trough adjacent to the house providing a closeup photo opportunity. You will also see plenty of birds, hawks, and a rabbit or two. You will no doubt enjoy your stay in this immaculate house situated on this wonderful property.
We had a nice stay, the house is located close to the major wineries.
Ilan’s property is peaceful, spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. We had a great time visiting the nearby Sonoita wineries. Lovely mini vacation for two Phoenix couples, thank you! Be sure to look out at the stars at night, wow!!
Nothing short of excellent. Top notch owners made a very accomodating stay. Peaceful is an understatement. The home and property were absolutely beautiful. We were sad to leave, but we will be back soon!
