About This Home

As of June 2025

This cozy creekfront cabin nestled among the tall Ponderosa pines in Washington Park borders the Tonto National Forest and offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Mogollon Rim. Enjoy the peaceful sound of Mail Creek running nearby and a natural artesian spring that feeds a small private pond and supplies water to a 12-home community. The main cabin was completely rebuilt in 2008, including new electrical, plumbing, and a durable metal roof that sounds amazing when it rains. It features 1 bedroom, a sleeping loft, spruce log siding, Anderson windows, slate flooring, hickory cabinets, and porcelain countertops. Stay warm with electric baseboard heating and a wood-burning stove. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower with slate and Riverstone for a natural, spa-like feel. The detached 1.5-car garage includes an office/studio built in 2015 and has a Murphy bed and its own full bathroom, complete with a Jacuzzi tub. Outside, there's a moss rock patio, fire pit, and space to relax or entertain.
Nature lovers will enjoy the walking path lined with wild blackberries and direct access to over 900 miles of hiking trails, including the Highline Trail and East Verde River just steps away. The home has a UV water treatment system, jet pump for strong water pressure, and two 200-amp electric meters. Internet is available via HughesNet or Starlink, and DishNetwork provides TV service.
Sold fully furnished so you can move right in! Brand new washer/dryer. HOA fee includes water. Short-term rentals are not allowed. This is a private, peaceful mountain getaway with incredible views, cool temperatures, and direct access to nature.
