Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Arizona's Western history.

Unit 2 offers approximately 3,054 SF with mercantile/retail space, workshop and living area. Unit 3 is a 1,985 SF historic saloon/restaurant with kitchen prep areas and an upstairs office. Unit 4 provides approximately 2,000 SF of retail space with a kitchen, bathroom and potential living area.The lush grounds provide an inviting setting for outdoor gathering, dining and special events. Improvements include updates to electrical and gas piping, roofing and septic, while many of the property's original architectural features remain, including impressive high tin ceilings.Rich in character and local history, this one-of-a-kind property offers tremendous potential for retail, restaurant, hospitality, event or mixed-use concepts--an opportunity to preserve the past while creating something new for the future.
