Property Description

HOME for Sale in Prescott AZ 4 Bedroom with Observatory near National Forest Located on 1 acre on a mountain top bordering the National Forest, this 3386 sq ft home offers panoramic city, mountain, and forest views from every window and from the large decks. Features include abundant natural light & windows, open floor plan, master suite, fireplace, interior elevator, panoramic views, 2 large decks, 2 car garage, workshop, laundry room, 3 guest rooms, & the 'Prescott Observatory'. The location of the home is conducive to dark skies and great star gazing. The house and observatory are 3 miles south of the Prescott Courthouse Square on one acre adjacent to the National Forest. The National Forest, with no buildings or lights, is south of the observatory and most observing is done toward the south over the dark forest and not over the city lights. The observatory comprises three rooms: an elevated room with a 4.5-meter Ash Dome for the main telescope, a 13'x14' room with a roll-off roof for a second instrument, and an insulated warm room. The main telescope is an 18-inch f/4.5 JMI Newtonian with a split-ring mount, built in 1994,and most of the observing has been done with an SBIG ST-8E camera. The second telescope is a 10-inch f/4 Newtonian, but the room would also be suitable for a large refractor. Some potential buyers may want to install their own equipment or may think the equipment is a little old. However, with above equipment Paul Comba discovered over 565 asteroids over a period of eight years. The observatory is officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union as the Prescott Observatory.
