Wanna Buy the Lazy K Bar Ranch? For $8.5 Million?
- Posted by: Joe Williams
Many a Dialoguer has saddled up under the Lazy K Bar brand. Jackie Williams of ICWUSA (Nov. 2006 Workshop) in Medford, Oregon, experiences one of the Workshop’s best learning experiences: team penning, a tradition we continue at the White Stallion.
Thought you’d like to know that the dear old Lazy K Bar is officially up for sale. The price tag: $8.5 million. Whoa!–there is no way that it could still be operated as a guest ranch and be profitable, so it’s 137-acres are sure to be developed into homes and/or a resort. The latest word is that a home division with an equestrian center attached to it are in the works. But even still, at $65,000 an acre, it’s a pretty steep entry fee.
At that price, even a Dialogue in the Desert retire home for alums would be out of the question…

Sad to see. Some 40 years ago there were almost 30 guest ranches in the Tucson area alone. Now they are down to two–the White Stallion and Tanque Verde.
