101 East Marapai Road, Prescott, AZ 86303

Set in the cool pines of Prescott, Arizona, Patterdale Pines Summer Camp offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive forest retreat on 10 acres of Forest Service land, subject to a special use permit/land lease. This unique property combines the charm of a traditional camp setting with practical infrastructure and modern updates, making it well suited for continued use as a summer camp, retreat center, group lodging facility, or other permitted recreational use. The U.S. Forest Service notes that special-use authorizations govern occupancy and use of National Forest System land, which is an important consideration for this property.

At the heart of the property is a large dormitory building featuring 7 dorm rooms, 4 bathrooms, a chapel room, kitchen, dining room, two separate sitting rooms, and a laundry space. The commercial kitchen is well equipped with like-new, rarely used appliances including a commercial freezer, commercial refrigerator, griddle-style cooktop, commercial oven, exhaust system, commercial microwave, standard stove/oven combination, and additional kitchen items. The main building also includes updated electrical systems, a fireplace, a fire pit, an outdoor BBQ, and an outdoor griddle, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for gatherings and extended stays.

The property is supported by a separate utility building housing the pump and water tank, along with updated electrical systems, plus 2 septic systems for added capacity and functionality. Whether envisioned as a turnkey camp operation, a private mountain getaway, or a special-event retreat, Patterdale Pines delivers a compelling blend of rustic character, functional improvements, and scenic Northern Arizona surroundings.

There is also potential upside tied to the underlying land itself. The U.S. Forest Service has indicated that a land sale would need leadership approval and the formal initiation of an interest request, and that a new appraisal would likely be required due to changing land values since the original 2017 appraisal. While no sale can be committed at this time, the property may represent a compelling opportunity for a buyer interested in pursuing continued use and exploring the possibility of land acquisition through the Forest Service review process.
