Property Description
Known as ''The Prickly Pear,'' this distinctive 1938 property was once featured on the popular TV home makeover show Boomtown Builder in the episode ''Bootlegger's House.'' Today, it offers a rare combination of historic character, flexible use, and a prime Main Street location in the heart of Old Town Cottonwood's thriving wine, dining, and entertainment district.
Situated on nearly half an acre with commercial and residential zoning, The Prickly Pear currently operates as a successful, turnkey 5-bedroom vacation rental with more than 240 five-star reviews across multiple vacation rental platforms and future bookings already in place. The property has been self-managed, rented selectively, and meticulously maintained, offering a compelling opportunity for an investor looking to step into an established hospitality property with an impressive guest history.
The home is thoughtfully configured into three separate living spaces, each with its own exterior entrance. The main-level residence features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with an ADA-accessible entry ramp. Upstairs, another 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence opens to an expansive private entertainment deck. A separate studio suite offers 1 bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and living area. A separate laundry facility, laundry room, storage area and basement offer additional opportunities for more livable spaces.
Renovated from top to bottom, the property blends its 1938 character with updated interiors and modern functionality. Additional features include on-site laundry, secure gated off-street parking, a sprawling backyard, fire pit, games, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces.
And there is more property than meets the eye--the property line extends beyond the existing fenced area, providing additional usable land and future possibilities. See the county map included in the disclosures for property boundaries. The open rear portion of the lot offers potential for expanded outdoor living, additional parking, or other improvements, subject to applicable approvals.
The zoning and configuration create an wide range of possibilities: continue its current vacation-rental use, explore a boutique, tasting room, office or retail concept, or consider a combination of commercial and residential uses--all from a highly visible Main Street location in Historic Old Town Cottonwood.
Close in proximity to the shops, restaurants, galleries and wineries right on Main Street. A short drive to popular Verde Valley attractions like the Copper Museum, Verde Canyon Railroad, Kayaking the Verde River, The Historic Mining town of Jerome and the Breathtaking Scenic Red Rocks of Sedona.
The Prickly Pear isn't simply another Old Town property--it's a one of kind piece of Cottonwood History. .
