Once a haven for artists seeking inspiration from the natural environment, the site retains its original post office, 1920s cottage, RVs and converted buses, is described as “ideal for those seeking adventure, history and creative inspiration,” and is located near the Cisco boat ramp, which for buyers wanting to use it as a vacation rental has “steady flow of potential guests.”

Nicole Anderson of Berkshire Hathaway said the sellers have owned the home for about nine years and bought it for people to create and sell artwork, it is unique but has infrastructure challenges such as no well, two outdoor toilets, no septic, construction would need to be done if it were to be used as a rental and is not in compliance with codes at this time, buyers would need to do their due diligence if they were to make the property a rental, and the RV and converted Bus was used as an artist's sleeping area.

Once a mining town, Cisco saw most of its residents leave in the 1970s, leaving it largely uninhabited despite its proximity to the Kokopelli Trail. The area was made famous by the documentary “The Cisco Kid,” whose protagonist, Erin Muzza, purchased the property and moved to the Utah desert to escape city life.
