Description
Welcome to one of the most incredible development opportunities in the heart of Arizona's wine country: 1500 Whatever Way, Cornville, AZ 86325.
This prime vacant land property of 48 acres has it all: jaw-dropping views of the entire Verde Valley and Mingus Mountain from the flat and development-ready cliffs above, and over 2000 linear feet of crystal-clear Oak Creek frontage down where the vegetation is green and lush. You would not believe you're in the Arizona high desert!
Cornville is the sleeping giant of the Verde Valley. With large lot sizes, modern homes, great views and easy access to all the amenities the Verde Valley has to offer, its tremendous growth will not fly under the radar much longer.

Nestled off of Cornville Road, the booming local wineries of Page Springs are just 5 minutes away, the bustling Old Town Cottonwood 15 minutes away, and the world-renown Sedona red rocks only 20 minutes away. The I-17 exit is 9 miles down Cornville Road and will take you to Phoenix in about 1.5 hours.
Currently an unincorporated area of Yavapai County, the population threshold for incorporation into a town has been reached and many local meetings have been taking place. The people of Cornville are very friendly and laidback, many of whom have relocated from Sedona over the past few years, bringing with them thriving local businesses. This past year alone, many new hip spots have opened up around the corner from this property, and are drawing more and more interest into the area, such as: Brewha (brunch & coffee shop), Cove Mesa Vineyard, Outlaw Pizza & BBQ, Vinny's Italian Star & a brand new cider tasting room opening this summer.
This expansive parcel offers a blank canvas for your vision to come to life with two spectacular distinct areas: a flat, cliff-side portion of about 24 acres with stunning views, and a flat, bottom portion of an additional 24 acres by the luxurious creek with sandy beaches.
All the other homes in this area of Cornville are rather large, recent and well kept, ensuring beautiful sights of high-end properties on all sides. The current R1L-70 zoning suggests this property could be split up to 30 times through a subdivision process, giving each new parcel a comfortable 1.6-acre.
Lots along the Oak Creek have become increasingly desirable and rare in the past few years, selling in a heartbeat from Sedona all the way to Camp Verde... so imagine having 15 of them for sale or development!?
Given the sheer size of this property, Yavapai County would even consider a proposal for a PAD (Planned Area Development), mimicking the likes of other stunning neighborhoods in the area
such as Oak Creek Valley or Cross Creek Ranch.
Whether you're an investor, developer, or looking to create your personal sanctuary, this land offers limitless possibilities.
This could be a gated community, a site for new luxury homes on the edge of the cliff with magnificent views overlooking the creek, with waterfront properties below, drawing inspiration from Lakewood or even the Venice Canals. Maybe you could transform part of the land in a giant green park by the water for the community's benefit? The list goes on and on.
Three roads have already been paved on the upper portion of the land, with two cul-de-sac for access to the future multiple home sites. An additional road goes down the side of the hill to access the bottom portion, where the gorgeous lush & mature vegetation will make you feel like you just time-traveled to another location.
Some work seems to have happened a few owners prior to the current owner. Three wells ranging between 150 and 200 feet depth are registered with the State. Multiple electric boxes and one APS meter exist on the upper portion of the property. Electricity is also available at the property line on Aspaas Road.
The sale of this property includes 2 parcels of roughly 42.4ac + 5.42ac
All potential buyers to be agent accompanied. Do not drive into 1600 Whatever Way. Access on South Aspaas Road & E Felicia Road.
