Amid the serene beauty of the Tonto National Forest and East Verde River lies a very rare opportunity to own a quintessential retreat. Although, officially it is a ''1 bedroom'' (located downstairs). The open staircase takes you to a versatile 400 sq ft loft which is utilized as a 2nd sleeping area with a king-sized bed, and the newly remodeled ¾ bathroom and a walk-in closet. This spacious haven is situated directly next to a private entrance to 2.8 million acres of the National Forest and a 2-minute walk to the large secluded bank of the East Verde River. Tucked away amongst the trees, this quiet and updated home is a gateway to endless outdoor activities: hiking, biking, swimming, off-roading, hunting, fishing and more. This extraordinary retreat is an escape from the valley summer heat and just 1 hour from Fountain Hills. Constructed of solid brick and maintained with meticulous care, this residence exudes pride of ownership. Inside, the main floor features a stunning newly remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances, hickory cabinets and granite countertops. The casual eating bar and nook are open to the living room with a 20' ceiling and gas fireplace. The primary bedroom downstairs and is conveniently located across the hall from an updated bathroom with a claw foot tub/shower. Additional features include a walk-in pantry, stacking washer and dryer, coffee/wine bar, new interior paint and mini split for comfort. One of the most exceptional and rare features is the view from the expansive wrap-around upper deck. The breathtaking forest and red rock view is a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee or evenings to relax with a glass of wine while watching the beautiful Arizona sunset, it's unforgettable. The properties exterior is just as impressive with a 2-car garage equipped with work benches, shelving, a 2-car carport, a new roof on the home and natural low maintenance landscape. Enjoy this mountain retreat year around. It has served both as a thriving vacation rental and comfortable home for its owners. Once you arrive at your peaceful retreat, unpack your groceries and in just a couple minutes- be at the river's edge resting on a blanket, go for a hike, or jump in your ATV. In addition to this incredibly rare property becoming available, the owner is open to including the entire contents for an immediate short term vacation rental or move in ready to enjoy this summer. And only 10 minutes from Payson and 20 minutes from Pine/Strawberry.
