About This Home
Set on 8.5 sweeping acres in the quiet Holycross Canyon area, this Oracle retreat blends rustic charm with rare, hard to find garage and workshop capacity perfect for collectors, hobbyists, or anyone craving space, privacy, and panoramic mountain views. The single level 1,730 sq ft home welcomes you with a warm, inviting living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by beamed ceilings and natural light. The kitchen offers an island, electric cooktop and oven, pantry closet, and easy flow into the dining area and custom wet bar, complete with running water and a small refrigerator ideal for entertaining without interrupting the cook. An enclosed Arizona room extends your living space and creates a peaceful spot to take in the sunrise, sunset, and endless mountain vis vistas that define this property. Two bedrooms plus den and two baths include a primary suite with a shower only layout and an additional bath with shower/tub combo. Outdoors, the property truly shines. A fenced serenity garden offers a safe space for pets or little ones, while the surrounding natural desert landscape enhances the sense of privacy. Car enthusiasts and makers will appreciate the detached workshop with electric, attached cabinetry, and extended 3 garage/workshop, plus an electric car lift outside and multiple RV options: a detached RV carport, an enclosed RV garage with manual doors on both sides, and a detached 9 car garage (no electric) for unmatched storage and flexibility. Additional features include a private well, propane, septic, paved concrete driveway, and a whole house gas powered generator for peace of mind.
Whether you're seeking a private desert homestead, a workshop ready property, or a peaceful getaway with room to roam, this one of a kind Oracle gem offers space, views, and versatility rarely found at this price point.
