About this home
What would you create if the view came first? Perched high above the lush Oak Creek greenbelt, this extraordinary 4.84-acre homesite offers dramatic elevation, privacy, expansive views and freedom--with no HOA and Sedona just 13 miles away. From its cliffside setting, the landscape unfolds below: year-round Oak Creek winding through the high desert, distant mesas and mountains, immense Arizona skies and transformative sunsets. With nearly five acres, there is room to dream big. Design your high-desert dream home, create a private retreat, explore its potential as a distinctive short-term rental or investment property--or imagine vines cascading along the slopes, inspired by the surrounding wine country. The extraordinary view is already here--the rest is yours to imagine. And while the location feels wonderfully removed, the best of the Verde Valley remains close at hand. The vineyards and tasting rooms of Page Springs and Verde Valley wine country are nearby, the local Cornville farmers market is just minutes away, and Old Town Cottonwood offers dining, shopping and everyday conveniences within easy reach. It is a rare balance of privacy and connection--a place where wildlife moves through the terrain below, Mingus Mountain anchors the horizon, sunsets fill the western sky and darkness gives way to a canopy of stars.
Just as compelling is how much of the groundwork has already been done. Included at no additional cost to the buyer is a permit-ready building package created specifically for this homesite, including an engineered alternative septic system design developed following site and soil evaluation, a strategically planned well location surveyed and incorporated into the master site plan, and complete custom architectural plans. The contemporary home was conceived around the land itself--its topography, passive and active solar orientation, and sweeping view corridors toward Oak Creek, Sedona and Mingus Mountain. Permits have deliberately not yet been pulled, preserving flexibility for the next owner to decide when and how to move forward without inheriting an active construction timeline.
Nearly five private acres. No HOA. Remarkable pre-development already in place. And a vantage point overlooking Oak Creek and the Verde Valley greenbelt that rarely comes to market.
The possibilities begin here. Build on the vision already created, make it distinctly your own, or imagine something entirely new. A dream home. A private retreat. A vineyard. An investment. A legacy. The land is the canvas. What happens next is entirely up to you....
