A whimsical home reminiscent of “Alice in Wonderland”—complete with secret garden—recently hit the market in Prescott, AZ, for $975,014.

The current owners purchased the place in 2014 for just $153,000. They then got to work. While creating a fantasy world, they also installed electricity, water, and gas lines. Ultimately, the once-primitive property was transformed into a popular bed-and-breakfast known as Foxbriar.

Offered fully furnished, the repurposed, three-bedroom residence is filled with antiques and “treasures from around the world,” according to the listing.

‘Unique property’

“The sellers created this unique property when they bought it,” says listing agent Kimberly Womble, of Dwellings Realty Group. “When they purchased the home, it spoke to them. They want guests who come here to step out of time.”

Every space in the storybook-style home tells a story. The front door was reclaimed from Prescott’s first high school building and leads to a living area that is adorned with solid, mahogany-wood columns and wooden doors that are said to have come from San Antonio, TX.

“The owners redid everything when they bought it,” Womble notes. “He owns multiple properties, one of which is an Airbnb property designed to resemble a pirate ship.”

But this playful property pays homage to a fictional family known as the Foxbriars. There’s even a photograph of them, hanging in the upper hallway.

Built in 1956, the home has a 1,387-square-foot, offbeat interior. In the living room, there are handcarved coronation chairs that sailed to America from Norway.

Nearby, the library features copper-and-glass lanterns that once adorned Prescott’s Red Lobster restaurant.

Other unusual highlights include a rug said to be from a brothel in Reno, NV; a 1954 vintage kitchen stove; and an antique, European marionette in the primary suite.

“The sellers would love someone to buy it and live in it,” Womble says. “It’s truly an experience living here; it’s not just buying a home.”

Historic collectibles include a Spanish-American War getup mounted above the circa-1900 piano, along with a working, vintage Philco AM clock radio. Pinewood floors in the upper hall and library are believed to predate the Civil War.

Also located on the nearly half-acre property is a carriage house with windows salvaged from a historical fort and a vintage car.

“The carriage house also has a 1931 Model A Ford truck inside that he is selling separately,” Womble notes. “There is also an open-air vinery that is stunning. It has an outdoor, formal dining area where they have hosted weddings and events.”

A charming wagon that was created by the seller is on the property, too. Meanwhile, a “secret garden” awaits in the back corner of the lot.

For the next buyer, the unique property offers a fun escape from reality while being close to everything.

“It is a five-minute drive downtown to Prescott,” Womble says. “It’s also at the base of Thumb Butte, which is great for hiking.”
