About Sopori Ranch

Sopori Ranch is one of Arizona’s last untamed habitats. Few places in the world rival the region’s beauty and grandeur. As it was centuries ago when the Spanish missionaries and explorers first arrived, the land will remain largely untouched to ensure the environment remains protected for future generations.

The Community

Four hundred acres of undisturbed open space—nearly one third of Sopori Ranch—has been set aside to preserve its scenic arroyos, hillsides and unique wildlife habitat. Among these 400 acres stands Cerro Pelon, at just over 3,800 feet. Quietly towering above the Shop for pots in nearby Tubacvalley below, the majesty of this peak will be forever preserved from any development, securing this captivating landmark for generations to come.

The Flora

Throughout this Southern Arizona region is an endless array of native cacti, mesquite trees and fields of desert grasses sprinkled with brilliant wildflowers.

The Fauna

At Sopori Ranch, there is an abundance of wildlife. The area is highly regarded for its elusive Coues white-tailed deer. Watch closely and witness families of quail, darting roadrunners and the graceful red-tailed hawk as he soars overhead in silent vigilance.

The Climate

At an elevation of 3,200 feet, the climate is ideal. Summers are warm and dry, while the winters are cool and sunny. Mid-summer, the valley is refreshed by nourishing monsoons and lightning shows that dazzle the eye. The spring and fall seasons are among the most beautiful and tranquil anywhere in the world, where endless blue skies are punctuated only by the billowy white clouds casting endless shadows across the valley floor. Here you can enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle year-round.
