A RARE PRESCOTT OPPORTUNITY -- 1.39 ACRES MINUTES FROM HISTORIC DOWNTOWN! Tucked among towering pines and dramatic granite rock outcroppings, this unique 1.39-acre property offers the kind of setting that makes Prescott so special--privacy, character and natural beauty, yet just minutes from Historic Downtown Prescott. At the front of the property sits a charming, all-original mid-1940s 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with a detached one-car garage and inviting outdoor patio area. Keep its vintage character and use it as a cozy full-time residence, weekend getaway, guest house or potential short-term rental.* But the real opportunity may be what lies beyond the cottage. Behind the existing home is approximately one acre offering an incredible setting for a future custom home, surrounded by mature pine trees, native landscape and impressive granite formations. Imagine designing your Prescott dream home tucked into the rocks and trees, while retaining the original cottage for guests, extended family or potential rental income. Whether you're looking for a charming Prescott retreat today, a future custom-home site, or a property with multiple possibilities, opportunities like this--on 1.39 acres and so close to downtown--are increasingly hard to find. Come for the cottage. Stay for the possibilities.
