Rare opportunity to own a private mountain retreat on 3.49 acres bordering National Forest on two sides! This custom 3,411 sq. ft. home offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and outdoor adventure, with direct access to miles of hiking, ATV, horseback riding, and recreation right from your front door.The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, on the main level plus a walk-out basement that provides great additional living space. You'll love the oversized laundry room, large pantry, and the massive 1,169 sq. ft. garage with two 12' x 8' overhead doors--perfect for trucks, toys, or a workshop. Enjoy the views from the 12' x 33' rear deck (approximately two-thirds covered) or relax on the covered front porch with its adjoining deck.The property also includes a detached guest house with a loft, full bathroom, kitchen area, laundry hookups, tankless water heater, mini-split, private patio, 200-amp electrical service, and a 30-amp RV hookup with water.

Buyer to verify intended use.)Outside you'll find mature landscaping, a sauna, above-ground pool, chicken coop, and an incredible approximately 50'x65' garden with drip irrigation and fertile soil. The garden includes peach, cherry, apple, pomegranate trees, grapevines, plus willow and elm trees. A drive-around loop provides easy access throughout the property, and the large cleared lower area offers plenty of room for trailers, equipment, storage, or future shop. APS would pull a separate meter to the shop if there is 750 sq ft of living quarters inside future shop. Utilities include a productive shared well (currently serving only two homes, approximately 25-30 GPM), a 1,500-gallon septic system, and 400-amp electrical service with a 200-amp sub panel to the guest house.Located just 15 minutes from Prescott Valley shopping, 25 minutes to Sprouts, 30 minutes to Costco, 25 minutes to Jerome, about an hour to Sedona, and only 10 minutes from the top of Mingus Mountain. Situated in a small 60-acre community with only 10 existing homes and very limited future development, this property offers the rare combination of seclusion, stunning scenery, and everyday convenience.If you've been looking for a property where you can truly enjoy Arizona's outdoor lifestyle without giving up modern amenities, this is one you won't want to miss!
