Property Description
You may not be able to take title to this property by winning a card game as was once an old tale, but you surely can take ownership of this piece of Arizona history the traditional way. Originally built in 1976 as the first trading post in Valle (now Grand Canyon Junction), this freestanding building juxtaposes a bygone era with modern interior finishes upon entry off of the front porch-- where if you listen closely enough you can still hear the squeaky echoes from rocking chairs amid stories of Grand Canyon lore from their occupants. Only 22 miles south of the south entrance to the Grand Canyon, the property now serves as a short-term vacation rental to the throngs of travelers visiting one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the world.

Supplements
And by throngs we mean millions, yes millions, of traffic counts per year (5m to be exact). The owners have taken a building that has housed many types of uses over the course of its history, and transformed it into a 4.9 star reviewed retreat that has all of the present day amenities behind an unassuming facade--perfect for tranquility and serenity that coincides with the majesty of the geography. The transformation includes, but very much not limited to the following improvements: County certified septic system, rebuilt front porch, new water main, 200 amp commercial electrical service, commercial grade kitchen, ADA bathroom, updated water line from the 10k gallon water tank, and many more. While one could continue the ease of the present use, the zone (Commercial General) allows for a variety of commercial and mixed uses, with a one acre footprint for expansion or left as open space. Complementing the main structure is a fifth-wheel trailer that has been retrofitted to accommodate 1-2 person habitants in a cozy, self-contained sleeper with the sights, sounds, and smells of the high desert aiding a dreamlike state of REM. Trailer can be included in the sale or removed. All FF&E can also be included as part of the current business operation.
With the area growing everyday, play your cards right and you too can experience the satisfaction of owning a quintessential piece of western history.
