Significant Listing: ~20 Acres of Paradise Valley

Huge Swath of Rare Paradise Valley Land Comes Onto Market

For $28 million you can own a very large piece of paradise.

A 19.32-acre swath of Paradise Valley land at the base of Mummy Mountain is now on the market. Owners can either build a massive estate, a gated subdivision with views or custom homes – with 841,669 square feet the options are plentiful.

Located on 8039 N Coconino Road, the property comprises four contiguous separate lots – on the East side of Coconino Rd, just south of Mockingbird – being sold together.

It is the largest vacant, flat residential piece of land still available in the entire town of Paradise Valley.
