180 DEGREES OF MOUNTAIN. A WELL THAT PRODUCES. AND ROOM TO GROW INTO.Some properties give you a view out one window. This one gives you the horizon -- a full 180 degrees of Granite Mountain, the Mingus range and the San Francisco Peaks, from 1.64 fenced, mostly level acres on a Chino Valley corner.And here is why that view is worth paying for. State land sits on two corners of this parcel -- open, undeveloped country with no subdivision across the road, no rooftops in the foreground, and nothing standing between the porch and the mountains. Most view lots in this county are one builder away from losing what they were bought for.FOR THE BUYER WHO WANTS TO MOVE INComfortable and ready today: site-built in 2005, 1,092 square feet, single level on a slab, with a covered porch and an open layout -- bedroom, kitchen, 3/4 bath and a generous living room. The mechanicals are current: a new mini-split HVAC system and fresh exterior paint this spring, a new electric oven earlier this year, and a new fence along the back patio that makes a great dog run.Water is the question everyone asks out here, and it is already answered. The property is served by its own private well -- not shared with a neighbor and not subject to anyone else's agreement -- drilled in 2004 to 403 feet and cased the full depth. The seller reports it produces strongly. Well production and water quality are confirmed by a buyer's own well inspection and water test, and buyers are encouraged to run both. Reverse osmosis, a water softener and the propane tank are all owned and convey. Wastewater is handled by a conventional 1,250-gallon septic with its own clean-outs and leach line. No HOA. ROOM FOR A SECOND BEDROOM -- WITH ITS OWN FRONT DOORHere is the part most buyers overlook. This home has three exterior entry doors -- one off the kitchen, two off the living room. The living room carries enough square footage to frame in a second bedroom inside the existing walls -- no foundation, no new roofline, no addition, subject to county permitting -- and because of those two living room doors, it can have its own private entrance.A bedroom is one thing. A room with its own door is another: guest quarters that don't route visitors through the house, or a home office with its own client entrance. County records note three bedrooms possible, and the square footage is already under the roof.FOR THE BUYER WHO SEES MOREThe acreage is open, mostly level and fully fenced, and the infrastructure that decides whether a project pencils -- the private well, the septic with a 100 percent alternate expansion field already sited, and electric service at the property -- is in and paid for. Those are the slow, expensive, uncertain items in Yavapai County, and here they are done.What is left is the good part. Add on and take it to two or three bedrooms, or build the larger residence this lot has always been able to carry and keep the current structure as guest quarters or a shop. In this corridor a finished 2,000-square-foot home on acreage lives in a very different price bracket. The arithmetic is worth running.WHAT MAKES THIS ONE DIFFERENT1.64 acres. State land on two corners and 180 degrees of mountain in front of you. Private well, full septic, recent mechanical updates, and a floor plan that gives you a second room without an addition -- two miles from Chino Valley shopping and a short drive to Prescott and Williamson Valley.
