About

Arizona Sun Sites is a large, developer-platted rural subdivision adjoining Pearce in Cochise County, Arizona, marketed by the Horizon Corporation as a retirement destination beginning in 1961. It comprises numbered units of mostly small residential lots zoned SR-22, many of which remain vacant and off-grid on dirt-road access. Utility availability varies by lot, with some parcels having power nearby and others requiring solar and private wells.
