Property Description
For the first time in decades, the iconic Alpine Country Club is being offered for sale. Encompassing approximately 54± acres in the heart of Arizona's White Mountains, this unique investment opportunity combines recreation, development potential, and exceptional mountain scenery. The property features a fully operational 9-hole golf course complete with the clubhouse, maintenance buildings, equipment, wells, and infrastructure needed to continue
Land
Situated in the scenic mountain community of Alpine, the property enjoys rolling fairways, mature pines, open meadows, and spectacular mountain views. Wildlife is abundant, with the area’s famous elk herds frequently roaming the property, creating an unforgettable setting for golfers, homeowners, or visitors.
The offering includes approximately 54± acres, with additional acreage from the former second nine holes available for purchase. Current ownership believes portions of that additional ground are well suited for future development but would consider selling the entire second nine-hole course for the right buyer.
With land values continuing to appreciate in Alpine, this property represents not only an operating business but also a compelling long-term land investment.
Improvements
The sale includes everything necessary to continue operating the existing golf course, including:
Operating 9-hole golf course
Country Club clubhouse
Maintenance and storage buildings
Golf course maintenance equipment
Irrigation infrastructure
Multiple on-site wells serving the course
A second 9-hole course has not operated for several years. Portions of that course are included in the offering, while the remaining acreage may be negotiated separately.
Recreation
The White Mountains are recognized as one of Arizona’s premier outdoor recreation destinations. Residents and visitors enjoy:
Championship hunting opportunities
World-class elk viewing
Trout fishing
Hiking and horseback riding
ATV and UTV trails
Camping
Skiing within driving distance
Cool mountain summers
The property provides a front-row seat to the incredible wildlife that has made Alpine famous, with large elk herds commonly seen throughout the golf course.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
Water is one of the property’s strongest assets. The golf course is served by multiple on-site wells, providing an established water source for irrigation. In addition, Town of Alpine water is available to the property, creating significant advantages for future operations or potential development.
General Operations
While the existing golf course offers immediate operational value, the long-term development potential may be equally attractive.
At an asking price equating to approximately $42,000 per acre, the property compares favorably with current land values in Alpine. Investors and developers may recognize opportunities for residential lots, mountain cabins, resort accommodations, or mixed-use development, subject to local approvals and zoning requirements.
The available additional acreage from the former second nine holes further expands the possibilities for a buyer seeking a larger development footprint.
Region & Climate
Located in Arizona’s White Mountains at approximately 8,000 feet in elevation, Alpine offers four distinct seasons, cool summer temperatures, abundant snowfall in winter, and some of the cleanest mountain air in the Southwest. The community has become a destination for second-home owners, retirees, outdoor enthusiasts, and families seeking relief from Arizona’s desert heat.
History
Properties of this size, character, and history rarely become available in Alpine. Whether your goal is to continue operating a successful mountain golf course, expand the recreational amenities, develop premium mountain real estate, or simply acquire a significant land holding in one of Arizona’s most desirable mountain communities, Alpine Country Club presents an exceptional opportunity.
Opportunities like this come along once in a generation.
