$24,850 price reduction!! Only 11 miles from Show Low!! Welcome to your own private mountain retreat in the Vernon countryside. Situated on 7.63 acres comprised of two separate parcels, this exceptional property offers breathtaking views of Ziegler Mountain, abundant privacy, and direct access to the outdoor lifestyle that makes the White Mountains so special.
Built in 2022 with quality construction and thoughtful design, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features a versatile loft, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, carpeted bedrooms, and an oversized laundry room. Large windows perfectly frame the surrounding landscape, bringing the spectacular mountain views indoors while allowing natural light to fill the home.
The kitchen, living, and loft spaces create a comfortable and functional layout, while opportunities remain for a future owner to add their own personal finishing touches and make the property uniquely their own.
Constructed with durability and efficiency in mind, the home features R-38 insulation, Colorado snow-load trusses, 5/8-inch fire-rated sheetrock throughout the bearing walls, loft, hallway, ceilings, propane surround, and garage. The split-face block stem wall is 100% concrete-filled with steel reinforcement every two feet, providing exceptional structural integrity. The oversized garage is equipped with an insulated metal garage door, while every window is protected by insulated metal security shutters for added peace of mind.
The property is fully fenced with a gated entrance and is heavily treed, creating a serene setting where wildlife, fresh mountain air, and quiet surroundings can be enjoyed year-round. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to National Forest access, offering endless opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, ATV adventures, and exploration. Forest roads provide access throughout the surrounding backcountry, including routes leading toward Greens Peak.
Additional improvements include a 10' x 20' storage shed, Conex storage container, durable low-maintenance fiber cement siding, and a 2,200-gallon rainwater collection holding tank. The property is served by a shared well, and water has already been extended to the second parcel.
A rare and valuable feature is the presence of two septic systems--one serving the existing residence and a second already installed on the additional parcel. This creates outstanding flexibility for future expansion, a guest home, additional residence, or investment opportunities, subject to applicable approvals.
Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, mountain getaway, horse property, or a private basecamp for outdoor recreation, this one-of-a-kind Vernon property delivers unmatched views, quality construction, and room to grow in one of the White Mountains' most peaceful settings.
