White Mountain Lake offers peaceful country club and lake living in Navajo County

Attracting retirees and second-home owners, the community of White Mountain Lake is about 8 miles outside of Show Low in Navajo County. Peaceful homes surround the private lake, which anchors the area and provides recreational opportunities. “It’s a quiet, small community with a private lake,” says Dawna Ruiz, who is a Realtor at West USA Realty with over 10 years of experience. “There’s not a lot going on and it can feel secluded, but there are many mini cities near the area, like Taylor and Show Low, for people to go shopping and dining.”

Single-family and mobile home options in White Mountain Lake

Smaller cabins and cottages may go from $150,000 to about $250,000, with ranch-style homes and traditional farmhouses listing over $300,000. Newer properties built in the 2000s and waterfront homes can go over $600,000. “Most homes are between $300,000 and $600,000,” Ruiz says. “And people can walk around the lake or go fishing and boating.” Manufactured homes, including those in Juniper Ridge, an active adult mobile home community with a golf course, may start out at $30,000 and can go over $300,000. Vacant lots are also available, ranging from $3,000 for 7,000 square feet to over $300,000 for hundreds of acres.
