One more thing, if you are a horse-lover, it's a great location for a horse setup, too. The property is already zoned for horse boarding, breeding, and training.
Architectural drawings for a home are available, should you like to use them. I attend often the architectural tours and can connect you with architects who live in the area, and who have graciously opened their homes for the tours. Electricity, well, improved roads to the property.

What's Cave Creek Like?
Rolling hills with saguaro forests, a cave and a creek which gave the name of the town, feel of a small town with character. Several of the architect's homes I saw on tour in 2012 are quite clearly staying in my mind. I probably have to get permission to post my tour photos, but I found the website where you can take a look at at least one of them: https://www.mpjstudio.com/01johnson This is a modern home, built ahead of its time in 1993 by architect Michael Johnson. The main house sits on concrete columns to elevate the view. There is a separate structure, which can be a studio, or a guest house. The other home, stuck in my daydreaming mind, is architect Fred Osmon's - it consists of four 800-square-feet pods that are encircled by a wall. Each pod has its function and identity - kitchen/dining area; studio/work place, bedrooms and meditation/yoga/mind-soul nurture place. The latter has no roof, and has stunning Nature views framed by the structure's windows.
