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.. .. .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.
