Where Love Takes Center Stage
The Van Dickson Ranch is a stunning 600-acre property nestled in the picturesque Skull Valley Creek, only 15 miles from Prescott, Arizona. This private, historical ranch offers breathtaking views, picturesque groves of oak, cottonwood, and walnut trees, and large grassy spaces set against a majestic mountain backdrop. The ranch has been in the same family for over 100 years and is one of the oldest ranches in Arizona.
A Brief History of the Ranch
The Van Dickson Ranch has a rich and storied history that dates back to the 1860s. James Van Dickson, the son of John Dickson, was a world-class rodeo champion and owned the ranch with his wife Pearl. They homesteaded the land in 1906 and raised polo ponies, leasing them to Will Rogers. The ranch has been in the same family ever since, with the current owners, Paul and Carolyn Harris, acquiring the property in 1999.
