Description

There are places that feel discovered rather than built—and this is one of them. Set on ten private acres in the high desert in Chino Valley, North of Prescott Arizona, this one-bedroom rammed earth sanctuary is defined by intention, simplicity, and a deep connection to the land. Constructed with two-foot-thick rammed earth walls, the home feels grounded and enduring, naturally moderating temperature while offering a quiet, almost meditative interior experience. A metal roof completes the structure, reinforcing durability and timeless design. The property borders Arizona State Land, preserving open space and long-term privacy. Nestled at the foothills of surrounding mountains, the setting delivers layered views of rolling desert terrain, distant horizons, subtle city lights, and the commanding presence of Sullivan Butte, where ancient cliff dwellings remain visible on the mountain's Ridgeline connecting the home to centuries of human history on this land. As evening arrives, the desert transforms. Dark skies reveal an extraordinary canopy of stars, making this an exceptional location for stargazing and a natural candidate for a future observatory site. The night here is expansive, quiet, and profoundly still. One of the property's most unique features is a quartz rock field, located toward the back portion of the acreage. Reaching it requires a short hike across the property, reinforcing the sense of discovery and separation from the main living area. This intentional distance preserves the natural landscape while offering a private destination within your own land ... ideal for exploration, reflection, or simply experiencing a different expression of the terrain. Access to the property is convenient yet appropriately rural, with less than one mile of dirt road, maintaining privacy without isolation. The property is served by a private well producing approximately 7 GPM and equipped with a new pump, along with an additional storage tank, while an 85 gallon solar water heater enhances efficient, low impact living. An unfinished extra large covered carport provides flexibility for future expansion ... whether additional living space, studio, workshop, or enclosed parking. The home is offered partially furnished, allowing for an easy transition, and includes a carefully preserved memory book containing original construction notes and receipts ... an uncommon and valuable record of the build's craftsmanship and care. Zoned for horses, the property sits near excellent riding and recreation options, including the Chino Valley Peavine Trail, Lower Sullivan Canyon, Iron King Trail, and the expansive trails of the Upper Verde River Wildlife Area. This is not a property created for excess or spectacle. It is a place of quiet strength, where architecture, history, and landscape coexist ... offering privacy, authenticity, and a rare opportunity to live in true harmony with the Northern Arizona high desert
