The story
A Private Mountain Estate with a One-Acre Outdoor Retreat Set among more than two acres of ponderosa pines, this seven-bedroom mountain estate brings together distinctive craftsmanship, generous gathering spaces, and an extraordinary outdoor retreat--all without an HOA. Conveniently located near downtown Flagstaff, the property offers the space and freedom of acreage living with the comforts of a thoughtfully appointed home. The outdoor experience sets this property apart. Designed and built by Kaibab Landscaping, approximately one acre of fully fenced, professionally landscaped grounds creates a private setting for entertaining, recreation, and relaxation. Two expansive artificial-turf play areas, an in-ground trampoline, a custom jungle gym and swing set, and three zip lines through th pines bring adventure to the backyard. A stone fire-pit gathering area invites evenings under the stars, while a covered ramada anchors the outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in Blackstone griddle and Big Green Egg XL. From summer barbecues to quiet afternoons beneath the trees, this is outdoor living that is already designed, built, and ready to enjoy. Inside, the great room makes an equally memorable impression. Soaring 24-foot cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding forest, while a wood-burning fireplace crafted from locally sourced Malapai stone creates a natural focal point. Chiseled quartzite, knotty alder, and black slate tile bring texture and warmth throughout the home. The kitchen is equipped for both everyday living and large gatherings, featuring a 60-inch Wolf range with griddle and double ovens, a Cove dishwasher, an oversized French-door refrigerator/freezer, and a 15-foot island with ample room for preparation, serving, and conversation. Seven bedrooms provide flexibility for guests and extended stays, while a private home office offers a quiet workspace with forest views. The oversized three-car garage accommodates vehicles, outdoor equipment, and recreational gear. An unfinished bonus area above the garage offers potential for future expansion, subject to applicable approvals. Comfort-focused systems include an 18 SEER Bosch HVAC system, whole-home water filtration, and dual Navien tankless water heaters. With convenient access to historic downtown Flagstaff and I-17, the home is well positioned for enjoying Northern Arizona throughout the year--from skiing at Arizona Snowbowl to exploring Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, and the region's trails and natural attractions. A substantial mountain home, a beautifully realized outdoor retreat, and room to enjoy it all. Schedule your private showing to experience 628 Old Munds Highway.
