Happy Fall!
Happy Fall!
This truly unique and historically relevant Flagstaff residence sits below the towering Mt. Humphreys and beside Mt. Elden. Needless to say the views are awe-inspiring. One of the most unique properties in Flagstaff! 10-acre equine training facility with party barn and guest accommodations is located only 8 miles from Downtown. All flat and useable with a collection of amazing 400-year-old Ponderosa Pines centered over the traditional 1920’s Malpas stone main house, 1970’s Log Cabin guest house, restored 1890’s post and beam Party Barn, Bunk House, Guest Bath, and Shower House and remodeled 2 bed 2 bath Mobile Home. The property is connected to Doney Park Water (no water hauling) and sits on a county maintained road that is always plowed early on snow-days!!
This property was first homesteaded in the late 1800's by Mr. Ernest Burrus. The street has been named after him, but spelled incorrectly!
Mr. Burrus operated the original 350 acre farm (plus another 350 leased from the forest service) as a cattle ranch and organic potato farm. He was one of the driving forces behind Flagstaff agriculture including building all of the agricultural berms that you see through Doney Park. A large one still exists on the farm. You can find a lot of historical data on Mr. Burrus and his contribution to Flagstaff agriculture through the Arizona Historical Society.
The farm was also owned by 3 time president of the Cowboy Artist Association, Mr. Bill Owen. He was the last to operate the farm as a working cattle ranch. Mr. Owen built the Log Cabin as a studio for his painting and the log addition to the Malpais house as a studio for sculpting. The sculpting studio is under construction to become a primary bedroom suite. Many of the details of the original studio are being preserved in the process including the log walls, timber ceilings and rough cut window treatments. The Log Cabin studio was converted to a mother-in-laws home in the late 70's. The Cowboy Artist "CA" logo is preserved on the hearth of the great stone fireplace.
The farm is now operated as Golden Sage Farm, a hunter - jumper equine training facility and family compound. The family has hosted live music events in the Red Barn several times a year and has been known to hosts various parties and special events.
