About this home
HAND-FINISHED DETAILS — VINTAGE SIGNAGE — TWO ORIGINAL RUSTIC CABINS — CLASSIC VEHICLES — ORIGINAL MERCHANDISE & ANTIQUES — SWEEPING 360° VIEWS
Perched above a gentle hill and embraced by the serenity of a 5,000-acre private valley, this truly one-of-a-kind 2.26-acre property offers breathtaking 360-degree views of meadows, mountains, and the National Forest.
More than a home, this is a historical treasure. Originally built in the 1920s as a general store, the property has been beautifully restored and expanded into a timeless and livable residence. It has been featured on Arizona Highways Television and highlighted in Phoenix Magazine and Arizona Highways Magazine, capturing the hearts of those who appreciate heritage, craftsmanship, and character. The original general store which was a successful working business for over 60 years, has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its early 20th-century integrity while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. Inside, you'll find curated vintage design touches that elevate its nostalgic appeal: an antique oak icebox island, a fully functional 1940s farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry that reflects the era, and original 1950s turquoise fixtures - all blending to create a warm mid-century Americana aesthetic.
The home itself balances history with modern functionality. The store remains a museum filled with original merchandise, antiques and memorabilia from the early 1900s. The property adorned with original 1920s gas pumps, vintage signage, antique farm equipment, and several classic vehicles - all included in the sale, offering both historic charm and remarkable value.
In 2023, an expansion added three bedrooms, a full bath, laundry area, and essential upgrades including a new septic system, underground water lines, a new well house, and fully updated electrical. Crafted with the same love and quality as the original restoration maintaining the property's cohesive, timeless feel.
Spread across 2.26 acres, the grounds include two original rustic cabins, a traditional windmill, multiple outbuildings, and ample open space for new construction, gardening, or raising animals. Tucked behind the main home lies an extraordinary piece of wartime architecture: an 800 sq. ft. concrete bunker, built during WWII. Perfect for use as a wine cellar, storm shelter, secure storage space, or creative studio.
Whether you dream of a private homestead, opening a business with your home right next door, artist retreat, bed-and-breakfast, or simply a quiet escape from the city, this property offers unmatched potential. More than real estate, it is a living piece of American history, lovingly preserved and waiting for its next steward. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something truly special.
