golf course it’s located kind of close to the airport very convenient yeah up and coming well i mean again it has been there a while it’s been there quite a while uh it used to be way out and i guess maybe the middle of nowhere close to the airport back in the day back in the day but that little area which is uh 89 and 89a is really up and coming granite dells is close by there uh dorne has some communities right there and old antelope hill has been there a while suddenly coming back coming back to life yeah people are discovering it people are buying and and updating and making the houses great and it’s very charming kind of a little pocket area and it’s really cool especially for you people who might be pilots and you have your own private plane you can park right there um and you’d be right there to take off from your home or if you just don’t want to be like me you just sit and watch the private plane some people love to watch the planes come and then you get to it’s you know mesmerized you get to be there for their show and everything yeah there’s an air show which is on every show right there that’s right well we always we i think we did uh we may have done a wind down on the um what’s the little diner in the airport i think we i think we did susie’s before so we like to go there a great cheeseburger place and watch the planes take off and you know if you’re here with your grandkids and you want to have you know and you decide to buy out an antelope hills then you and your kids go watch yeah you know and the grandkids and your own family randall finds it very relaxing i do i find it very very relaxing it’s very so there’s there’s actually two public uh golf courses there yes i think yeah i think it’s like a north course in the south of course i i don’t know very popular very very very nice course and there’s also a little clubhouse associated with the uh with golf course right a great bar as some snack bar food so we were there with uh with our friends and having a good time so it’s really great um after a round of golf yeah depending if you’re in a good mood or a sad mood you can go right up to that bar and have some drinks celebrate or drown your uh ground you saw right that’s right yeah you can have a good time yeah so we had good some good cocktails they had a a a hard arnold arnold palmer yeah uh which was good i had something i forget but it was an interesting uh drink very reasonably priced everything there is reasonably priced it’s a nice little area to get together so you can get a really nice house um uh and maybe fix it up at a fairly decent price and then there’s some that are already fixed up that it’s it’s just a deal i mean and it’s just a lovely lovely area to rediscover and it’s something we’ve rediscovered we have some good friends shout out to jan and don shout out to you they are closing tomorrow on their house um it’s really cute it backs up to the golf course a lot of homes in there back up to the golf course and it’s really nice yeah and um so anyway they are moving in they’re very excited and they’re already planning their first big party yeah yeah and then they’re looking forward to have hosting an um air show party yeah and we can all sit in their backyard and watch the air show and uh it’s it’s really it’s exciting it’s a very relaxed way of life not a long a lot of homes uh come up for sale there it’s not a huge community and the people there tend to stay yeah but if you have interest we can put a look out uh out there for you absolutely uh but even if you don’t live in that area just uh hitting up the golf course and taking advantage of the clubhouse it’s a great place to meet people right uh it accommodates large groups easily it’s just a great place to hang out maybe smoke a cigar that’s right so whether you want to visit for the public golf golf course and go golfing or you might be interested in buying a house no cookie cutter out there it’s all different houses very unique it’s uh kind of fun to go out there and uh then you can sit out there and have your own party and watch your own air show that’s right that’s what we’re gonna do you can’t wait you know or make yeah especially if you have your own plane lots of people who live out there have their own plane they just go with the hop skip and jump and then they can fly out of there and that’s pretty cool yeah well why don’t you take off it’s pretty cool it’s like you could be the next john travolta that’s what he does you know john yes he’s a he is a world-class pilot and he lives right by his uh plane so he can just walk out the door hop on his plane take off yeah so there you have it great john travolta but i’ve always inspired if any of our people out there have their own plane that’s what they can do they can do what john travolta does well that’s cool it’s possible i don’t have to wear those disco clothes no you don’t but you know you wouldn’t think that would be possible here in prescott but i’m letting you know yeah it is whatever he’s not with the times not at all never pretended to be okay so anyway if you’re coming in and uh if you’re interested in antelope hills give us a shout out we’d love to show you some houses out there if there’s any available because it is kind of smaller inventory let’s take it out there take a look at it yeah it’s a fun place at the very least go out

Video Transcript

hello hello hello hey peace this is diane bro with my better half randall bro i don’t know if i’m better i’m just here well that’s true yeah he’s trying yes he’s a work in progress absolutely as we all are here in the canyon yes in prescott this is my all-time favorite neighborhood i adore it if i could i would be here in a heartbeat yeah absolutely uh it’s stunning so we have a very nice friend here phil who agreed to let us come film in his backyard so you can see what it’s like to live here yeah uh it’s just kind of get a little yeah a little view what’s going on here there you go just absolutely beautiful this is backyard but what we love about this is as you know i love the rocks the rocks are my thing uh this is actually actually in this home is built into the dells yes and the dells are a natural rock formation that can only be found in prescott wisconsin and germany that’s right and they are stunning and we don’t know how they form we don’t know how some special i mean other people know we don’t know we don’t know we’re not geologists yeah some yeah no we don’t know i’m not i am into the crystals and all that i do like that i wear my crystals a very very peculiar and bizarre uh process that created the special rock formations referred to as the as the delta but if you are lucky enough to build a home in here and live in here um we have a lot of questions people are like you know you’re surrounded by all this granite and rocks what about the radon radon yeah yeah radon radon is uh it’s a it forms naturally out of the rocks it’s like something to do with radioactivity and uh and all that kind of stuff it’s uh it’s only trace uh trace amounts so like if you don’t hear a whole lot about people hiking in the dells overcome by radon because it’s trace elements so you uh the the problem comes when you have a home that sort of captures the radon and holds it inside for very long periods of time because it’s a clear it it’s kind of a clear gas but here’s the thing it’s not a problem yeah at all uh yeah the very high tech uh eradication systems that they have for radon essentially it’s a fan you know you you you have built in so if you have a custom home and you are surrounded by rocks like this which some people have there’s a way to mitigate that problem yeah and you have a whole uh essentially you just need to circulate it so they’re gonna release it here yeah so they’ll put a pan on it which you need to be aware if you just put granite on your kitchen countertops guess what yeah there’s a radon coming radon comes off of that countertop it’s a natural thing that’s a natural in the environment what you want to have is not have it build up in your home yes but once you address that you mitigate it yes it’s a non-issue yeah so if you have a home that’s built into into the dells um it’s a good idea to have you know monitoring equipment to make sure that the concentrations aren’t building up correct and like i said your mitigation system is essentially a small fan that just kind of circulates the air around and keeps them keeps them low so it’s perfectly perfectly safe to build a home where you have that situation but most most places here in prescott do not um and that’s what i wanted to talk about too this is an unusual and exceptional case you know to be surrounded by these rocks it’s just it’s just stunning it’s a great place to be but not all neighborhoods are built in the dells here in brisket so there are a lot of other neighborhoods that the dells will be five miles away two miles away three miles away and people will say i need to have radon testing yeah you can you can you can you certainly can but but it’s not necessary if you live in a neighborhood like prescott lakes yeah you’re not going to have a radon issue yeah yeah you’re perfectly fine even though zillow will tell you that oh there’s been radon within a mile of this home within five miles of this home you know um not a big deal it’s not although we do have testing if you are still going to be testing yeah we could do we can arrange that testing runs about 125 and they set up the equipment and then you get your reading that says you’re perfectly fine yeah what they’ll do is they’ll put the they’ll put the monitoring equipment in place and generally they’ll seal the home basically don’t let anybody in and out for a few days and they’ll collect it that way so that’s pretty much what the testing is so we wanted to let you know if you’re in the heart of the of the rocks yeah that’s something you might want to consider you need to mitigate that easily done yeah then you can enjoy the beauty there’s a reason why the rocks give off energy people yeah they do have energy and they’re great that’s right it’s a good good god if you don’t live directly in the dells or you’re you know a mile or two away you’re going to be okay yeah but again if you wanted to don’t worry about what zillow says about radon yes don’t get i think zillow is a native american word that means mistaken i think zillow originally means mistake zillow yeah zillow a lot of things wrong on zillow that’s a whole nother pet peeve yeah i could be here all day talking about zombies zillow is just an estimation zillow is not fact always remember that they just kind of gather a few little things and spit it back out at you but you need to go by your local real estate agents yeah what’s going on in the market and what’s legit yeah absolutely yes so anyway here we are in the beautiful dells here of the canyons and we’re sitting at this cool
