The acre is the story here. In Southern Arizona, a full lot of land attached to a house under $150,000 is the thing worth paying attention to. The zip median sits at $231,939, and this place is asking $144,000. That gap is real, and it buys you room — a backyard that goes somewhere, space for a garden, a shed, a dog run, whatever you actually need land for.
The house itself is small. 912 square feet, three bedrooms, one bath, built in 1955. A 1955 frame house in the Arizona desert has lived some life, and this one has been remodeled recently. The agent description calls it "beautifully remodeled" and "move-in ready," which tells you cosmetics have been addressed. What it does not tell you is anything about the roof, the HVAC, or the plumbing — no system dates anywhere in the listing data. So the finish work looks updated, but the bones of a 70-year-old house warrant the usual questions before you close.
Three bedrooms in 912 square feet means small rooms. This is a tight floor plan by any measure, and if you need space to spread out, this house will feel it fast. One bathroom for three bedrooms is manageable but narrow, especially for a family. The layout is described as functional, which is about the right word for a house this size.
What makes sense here is a specific kind of buyer. Someone attached to Fort Huachuca — the base is close, and Huachuca City exists largely around it. Someone who wants outdoor space more than indoor square footage. Someone who can use an acre. The price per square foot runs about 18 percent above the zip median, which sounds like a contradiction until you factor in the land. You are paying a premium relative to the size of the house, but you are paying well below the median for the market overall.
The listing has been sitting about 100 days in a zip where price cuts are common. There is room to negotiate. At $144,000 with an acre in Southern Arizona, that conversation is worth having.
