Description

Rare Historic Homestead - First Time Ever on the Market! 7.03 Private Acres in the Heart of the Mule Mountains, Old Bisbee For over a century, this extraordinary property has been cherished by the same pioneering family. Homesteaded in 1910--just two years before Arizona became a state on Valentine's Day 1912--this authentic ranch has never been offered for sale... until now. Tucked into the breathtaking Mule Mountains on the corner of historic Old Divide Road this 7.41-acre mountainside sanctuary delivers 360-degree jaw-dropping beauty. Mature forest surrounds you as the land climbs the Bisbee Divide toward Morales Creek. Panoramic views unfold in every direction--dramatic cliffs, endless skies, and the timeless spirit of old Bisbee.The main historic..

Supplements: .. .ranch home offers approximately 1,271 sq ft of comfortable living space, anchored by a remarkably large basement with cement floors and walls, windows for natural light, and convenient outside or second-floor entrances--literally built into the side of the mountain. Still a short walk or quick drive into everything Old Bisbee has to offer, including award-winning restaurants, artist studios and exceptional bands and entertainment daily. Beyond the home, the property includes a treasure trove of original structures from Bisbee's vibrant mining era: an old kitchen and food prep/dinner hall (once serving miners' cabins), a garage, and two additional buildings ripe for creative revival--think workshops, storage, or charming guesthouses with a little TLC. Flat areas throughout provide plenty of room to build, dream, or expand. This is a true off-grid-capable retreat with a private domestic well (currently partially set up for solar, with two water tanks positioned for gravity feed). Electric and water are available on adjoining lots, and roughly half a lot sits within city limits--offering intriguing potential for annexation and access to city services (buyer to research and confirm all utilities). Five and a half of the six separate tax codes keep taxes remarkably low, with the balance in the county. The land tells rich stories: it once hosted a vintage gas station straight out of a 1940s-50s movie, and it was fully remediated by Freeport-McMoran, ensuring a clean slate. Located on the county/city line in one of Bisbee's most sought-after mountainous areas, this homestead captures the soul of Arizona's mining heritage while offering modern-day privacy and possibility. Whether you envision a peaceful full-time mountain escape, a family legacy property, an artist's or homesteader's paradise, or a unique investment/hotel/ Inn built in living history--this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sold strictly AS IS, with no guarantees or warranties, allowing you the freedom to restore, reimagine, and make it your own. PROUDLY own bragging rights to a genuine piece of Arizona history with endless stories, memories & same gorgeous century-old views with endless potential, and endless inspiration. Properties like this simply do not come along every day. Step into a legacy carved from the mountains themselves.
