This 3.33-acre parcel sits at 4,633 feet in the picturesque Sulphur Springs Valley in Pearce, Arizona. Don't let the fact that Pearce, once one of the state's major silver producers, is now a ghost town confuse you. This piece of land could not be located in a more diverse and exciting area of southwestern Arizona.

The ruins of the once-thriving Commonwealth Mine are carved into the hillsides behind the town. Its historic post office, general store and adobe jail are still standing. Immediately adjacent to Pearce is Sunsites, a thriving community full of verdant apple, peach, pecan and pistachio orchards in one of the state's richest agricultural areas.

Once you build your permanent residence or place a manufactured home on this parcel, you can be off to explore all Cochise County has to offer. Start with a round at the San Pedro Golf Course in Benson or the Twinlakes Golf Course in Willcox, both just over 30 minutes away. While in Willcox, visit one of its many premier wineries. Nestled beneath the Dos Cabezas Mountains, the area produces 74% of the wine grapes grown in Arizona.

Grapevine Canyon, an hour and a half from Pearce, has nothing to do with grapes. It is a well-known rock climbing area whose rocks contain more than 700 petroglyphs. If you prefer underground adventures, you'll want to visit Kartchner Caverns, one of the top ten caves in the world, just under an hour away.

Forty minutes west are the Dragoon Mountains, lifted up above the grassland valleys on each side. In the middle of the range is Cochise Stronghold. It was the winter home of Chief Cochise and the Chiricahua Apache. Cochise led his people to this fortress while defending their homeland in the mid-1850s. He is buried there. Adjoining Cochise Stronghold is the Coronado National Forest where you can hike through thick woodlands with views of colorful granite domes in the distance.

An hour's drive will take you to Bisbee or Tombstone, two active communities with rich histories. You can enjoy Bisbee's antique stores, art galleries and "happening" music scene or shop for fashionable Western wear in Tombstone. This part of southwestern Arizona is alive and well, full of rich history and exciting adventures. Give us a call today and see how easy it is to stake your own claim here.
