This rare and beautiful retreat is located directly next to a private entrance to the Tonto National Forest where 2.8 million acres awaits your new adventures. Even more extraordinary is the 2 minute walk to a peaceful and secluded bank of the East Verde River. One hour from Fountain Hills, this quiet and updated home is a gateway to endless outdoor activities: hiking, biking, swimming, off-roading, hunting, fishing and more; tailored for adventure and relaxation alike while escaping the Valley summer heat. Constructed of solid brick and maintained with meticulous care, this residence exudes pride of ownership. The 2025 kitchen remodel features stainless steel appliances, hickory cabinets, granite counters, casual eating bar and nook that opens into a living room with 20' ceilings. The master bedroom is conveniently located downstairs across the hall from a fully remodeled bath and claw foot tub/shower. Interior additional features include a walk-in pantry, stacking washer and dryer, coffee/wine bar, new interior paint and mini split. The open staircase takes you to the spacious second bedroom/loft area with remodeled 3/4 bath, walk-in closet and seating/office area. The upstairs offers access to the breathtaking forest and red rock views from the expansive wrap around deck. An unforgettable quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine while watching the beautiful Arizona sunsets. Exterior additional features include: 2 car garage, equipped with work benches and shelving, large carport, new roof, fenced back yard/bbq area, natural low maintenance landscape and room for an RV. This mountain retreat is spectacular year around with lots of Arizona sunshine and mild temperatures. Located in a sought after community, it has served both as a thriving vacation rental and comfortable home for its owners. In addition to the rare opportunity becoming available, the owner is open to selling the entire contents for an immediate short term vacation rental or move in ready to enjoy this summer.
