What Greystone Ranch's governing documents say

Greystone Ranch is a rural subdivision in Sacaton Flats Village, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) recorded in 2001. These CCRs apply to all parcel owners and are intended to preserve the natural desert character, prevent nuisances, and maintain the area's serenity. The restrictions run with the land and are enforceable by any owner until at least 2030, with automatic 10-year extensions unless 75% of owners vote to terminate.

• Minimum lot size: No parcel may be less than 10 acres. Each 10-acre parcel may have one primary dwelling and one guest/caretaker dwelling (max 800 sq ft).
• Dwelling type & size: Primary dwellings must be site-built, at least 1,300 sq ft of living area (excluding garages, porches, patios). Manufactured homes, mobile homes, modular homes, and trailers are permanently prohibited, except that a mobile home or RV may be used temporarily during construction (max 18 months, with a building permit, must be <10 years old, skirted, and removed before the 18 months end). This exception can be used only once.
