BIG SPRINGS RANCH ESTATE + PRIVATE AIRSTRIP. FLY HOME OR TO YOUR PRIVATE GETAWAY. MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT + FRESHLY ELEVATED INTERIOR! OWN A PIECE OF YOUR OWN PRIVATE AIRSTRIP + 5 USABLE ACRES + 2 BEDROOM + LOFT + 360 MOUNTAIN VIEWS + NO HOA! This rare Northern Arizona property has just been refreshed inside AND repositioned at a compelling new price, creating an opportunity that is difficult to duplicate. Live the rare fly-in, fly-out lifestyle from your own property, complete with a private dirt runway and small hangar/workshop. Fully fenced with room for horses, cattle and domestic animals, this elevated property sits above the surrounding Paulden landscape with wide-open skies, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and a remarkable sense of privacy while remaining convenient to Prescott, Prescott Valley, Embry-Riddle and area airports. The interior has just been freshly elevated with new paint throughout and sophisticated gold kitchen hardware, creating a bright, clean, move-in-ready feel while preserving the home's distinctive character. Inside are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom, second bedroom and spacious loft bedroom with a large walk-in closet. The open living area is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace with wood-burning stove insert, while soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and flagstone flooring give the home its distinctive Northern Arizona character. The open kitchen, dining and living spaces make the home equally suited for peaceful everyday living or entertaining a crowd. Step outside onto the expansive wraparound porch and the setting takes over: open land, mountain ranges in every direction and the kind of quiet that makes the property feel far removed from everything around it. The approximately 5 level, usable acres are fully fenced, creating tremendous flexibility for horses, cattle, domestic animals, gardening, recreation, hobbies or simply enjoying your own space. With NO HOA, there is room here to create a lifestyle around what matters to you. For pilots, the property offers something especially difficult to duplicate: walk outside, access your aircraft and fly from home without the usual drive and airport hassle. The private airstrip and small hangar/workshop make it an exceptional option for aviation enthusiasts, Embry-Riddle connections, airport professionals or anyone who has dreamed of incorporating flying into everyday life. And you don't have to be a pilot to appreciate what makes this property special. It could be a peaceful full-time retreat, horse property, second home, gathering place for family and friends, investment opportunity, or simply a place to own land and enjoy more freedom. Approximately 30 minutes from Prescott, Prescott Valley and Embry-Riddle, you can live surrounded by acreage, sky and mountains without giving up access to the amenities you need. 5 acres. 2 bedrooms + LOFT + Private airstrip. Small hangar/workshop. Fully fenced. NO HOA. 360 mountain views. Freshly elevated interior. One very uncommon Northern Arizona property. Priced to sell. (Airstrip CCRs apply.)
