Rural living outside of Flagstaff
About 10 miles east of Flagstaff, Arizona, Mountain View Ranches is a Coconino County residential community known for its rural atmosphere and ranch-style homes on multi-acre lots. “There are some really large properties tucked back, and you would never really know they’re there,” says Danielle Sedillo, a Flagstaff local and Realtor with Village Land Shoppe. “People find it, they like it, they stay,” Sedillo says. Residents can pick some groceries at the local Mountain View Market but must drive into Flagstaff for all other shopping and dining needs; the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, Townsend-Winona Road, merges west with Route 89 toward Flagstaff. “If you want more space, no homeowners associations, and need the acres for animals or to build, you should live here,” says Jason Shafor, a Flagstaff local and Realtor with Exp Realty.

Ranch-style homes with mountain views
Residential streets and roads here offer distant mountain views, the occasional shade tree and no sidewalks, and are lined with multi-acre properties that allow for extra space between neighbors. “It’s not city living at all,” Sedillo says. “It’s a little bit more rustic, with more established homes, and you’re going to get some acreage, pine trees, dirt roads — maybe you have a gravel driveway. It’s very natural.” The single-family ranch-style homes here were mostly built between the late 20th-century and early 2000s; they have no homeowners associations, but generally do have one-story layouts, three or four bedrooms and lots between 1 and 3 acres. Most lots feature low-water landscaping, and some also have detached garages, workshops or farm animals. “Here you’ll be in that $500,000 to $700,000 price range,” Shafor says. Undeveloped lots of 1 to 3 acres typically range from $150,000 to $200,000.
