As recently featured in The Wall St Journal editorial, we are proud to present this rare opportunity to acquire Capricorn Hill, the Sedona estate hand-built by Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning--a property that remains one of the most significant artist homes in the American Southwest. The original main house, constructed by the artists themselves in the late 1940s, retains its authentic layout and creative spirit. The home offers - 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms - A grand living/dining room framed by sweeping red rock panoramas -Two fireplaces & handcrafted details throughout - Direct access to the Coconino National Forest, with a trailhead literally steps from the backyard. This is the environment where Ernst created some of his most iconic pieces and Tanning maintained her studio. (cont... Guest House - the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house features kitchenette and striking Wilson Mountain views, offering comfortable & licensed (w City of Sedona) STR accommodations for travelers, visiting artists & collectors. The additional Studio also captures the dramatic Wilson Mountain red rock vistas, making it an inspiring creative space. It has abundant natural light, and a serene sense of privacy--ideal for artists, writers, or scholars. Set on roughly half an acre, Capricorn Hill is more than a residence--it's a living piece of surrealist history. The current stewards have operated the main house as a nonprofit center for tours and have carefully preserved the artistic integrity of the site. STR revenue for the 2 units licensed by the City of Sedona: 2024 - $92,099; 2025 - $79,501; Jan-March 2026 - $24,591 (main house not used for STR).
