Welcome to 145 Columbia Drive, a beautifully situated mid-century modern Sedona home completed in 1960, offering comfort, privacy, and the easy indoor–outdoor lifestyle that makes the Verde Valley so special. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood adjacent to Coconino National Forest, the home enjoys immediate access to hiking and biking trails and is surrounded by the iconic red rock landscape of Sedona.
This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence is steeped in local history and is believed to be the original homestead of the Broken Arrow subdivision. It’s an ideal place to settle in—whether for a seasonal stay or a longer-term opportunity—offering both character and livability in one of Sedona’s most recognizable and storied neighborhoods.

Inside, the home features a bright, inviting layout with comfortable living spaces and a natural flow for everyday living. The interior has been thoughtfully maintained, preserving much of the home’s original character—from period light fixtures and furnishings to the striking schist stone fireplace—while incorporating modern conveniences. Notably, the home retains vintage mid-century Thermador wall heaters in both full bathrooms, a rare and intentional detail that reflects the care taken to preserve its original design. The home is attributed to the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright–era design principles and was built by prominent Sedona builder Howard Madole, who was highly active in the region during the 1950s and 1960s.

For movie nights and relaxed evenings in, the home is equipped with a laser projector, 120-inch retractable screen, and soundbar, creating an immersive viewing experience ideal for films, sports, or streaming. A front-loading washer and dryer are also included for everyday ease and convenience.

Outdoors, the property truly shines. Enjoy evenings gathered around the gas-operated firepit, unwind in the private hot tub, or simply take in the peaceful, forested surroundings that define this part of Sedona. The setting offers a sense of privacy and tranquility while still being just minutes from town, trails, dining, and shopping.

Adding to its charm, local lore suggests that John Wayne and members of his film crews stayed in the home during Sedona’s Hollywood era, including productions such as Broken Arrow. The surrounding neighborhood reflects this cinematic history, with film-company street names like Columbia, Paramount, and Universal—remnants of a time when westerns regularly used Sedona’s red rock scenery as their backdrop.

With its blend of history, thoughtful amenities, and authentic Sedona character, 145 Columbia Drive offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly special home—one that balances preservation, comfort, and location in a way few properties can.
