If you've been dreaming of a peaceful retreat in the forest, this just might be the perfect place. This one-owner home used as a part-time residence was built with care, thoughtfulness, and lots of love. It's a single-level, 1,201 square foot home with two bedrooms, two baths, and an attached… Read More one-car garage. The garage even has its own shower—so after a day of working outside or exploring the woods, you can clean up before heading inside. Step into the great room and you'll immediately notice how bright and welcoming it feels. Large windows let in tons of natural light and showcase beautiful views of the surrounding ponderosa pines, oak, and juniper trees. There's a huge 500-pound cast iron wood-burning fireplace that keeps things cozy, and a Lennox forced gas furnace to keep you comfortable through the colder months. The home sits on 1.12 acres of tall trees and backs up to national forest land, so you've got miles and miles of hiking right at your doorstep. The property is zoned for horses, offering even more ways to enjoy the land, and it's one of the rare communities without an HOA, so you have the freedom to truly make this property your own. And you'll love the wildlife such as elk, deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, and even the occasional bear might wander through. If you're a bird lover, the Bluejays will become your regular guests (just make sure to keep plenty of unsalted peanuts on hand because they'll expect them!). There's more here than just the main house. A gravel circular driveway will give you a grand tour of the property. You'll find two outbuildings: a finished and heated 240 square foot bunk house that's great for guests or extra space, and a finished 8x8 storage room for your tools or outdoor gear. The house, the garage, the outbuildings got brand new roofs in 2023, so that's one big thing already taken care of. You'll also appreciate the 500-gallon owned propane tank and the 12,000 kilo auto-start whole house generator because when you're out in the woods, it's nice to know you're prepared. The property is connected to a community well that provides unlimited water for a small annual fee. The location offers that perfect mix of privacy and convenience. The Blue Ridge Fire Station is just half a mile away. Clints Well Gas and Convenience Store is only 14 miles down the road for supplies. When you're ready for a little road trip, a 40-minute drive north will have you Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona and an hour south will bring you to Payson for shopping, dining, and more. This home has been the setting for many wonderful memories, and now it's ready for someone new to enjoy everything it has to offer. Maybe that someone is you. Read Less
