About This Home

As of September 2024

Discover the epitome of rustic elegance in this exquisite full-log cabin, designed with a nod to Scandinavian simplicity and nestled against the serene backdrop of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Located at 3666 Larson Loop, Forest Lakes Estates, AZ, this home is an architectural treasure, skillfully crafted by the Aannestad family, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail and a harmonious integration with its natural surroundings. Entering the property, you are greeted by two options: the charming main level entrance or the spiraled ascent to a breathtaking observation deck, perfect for starlit evenings & panoramic forest vistas. Inside, the cabin's interior is a sanctuary of warmth and light, featuring floor-to-ceiling pine wood that encapsulates its timeless charm. The living space is anchored by a striking fireplace, with a custom mantel and locally-sourced flagstone, that promises cozy retreats from the winter chill. The home's layout is thoughtfully designed for both privacy and entertainment. The lower level includes a welcoming entry adorned with built-in storage, a family room with fireplace, a full bathroom, and functional spaces such as a laundry room, sauna, and a workshop. Additionally, a self-contained secondary suite offers another full bathroom, kitchen, and living /dining area, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and a private entrance, ideal for guests or during the winter it allows for the option of only warming that portion of the home and allowing the heat to rise to the bedrooms. The upper level of the cabin features a loft that can be transformed into extra sleeping quarters, half bathroom and two spacious bedrooms with adjoining access. A full kitchen and dining area open onto the observation deck, inviting you to dine amidst the towering pines. Outdoor living is equally enchantive, with multiple decks and a flagstone patio that offer immersive forest experiences. The property also includes extensive storage solutions with a 1.5 car - extra depth garage, adjoining additional storage area, and cleverly integrated storage spaces throughout the home.
There are multiple parking options from the terraced out parking spots at the top of the lot to the circular driveway leading the garage. **Several USNF lots in Forest Lakes back to a road, example: FR 99 or SR 260 so this is why the USNF lots on Larson Loop are so coveted.

Nestled at the top of the Mogollon Rim, Forest Lakes is just a scenic two-hour drive from most valley locations, offering a refreshing escape with temperatures 30-50 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Surrounded by tall Ponderosa Pines, this picturesque community boasts several trout-stocked lakes, perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Unlike many other areas, Forest Lakes has no mandatory HOA, but a friendly, welcoming community that hosts events and operates a community center. The Forest Lakes Owners Association (FLOA) is a 100% voluntary homeowners association funded by donations.
This vibrant community offers a plethora of recreational opportunities, from exploring the woods and kayaking to fishing and navigating the extensive UTV trails with breathtaking views.
The community is also home to a library/church with basketball court and a bustling community center, which features markets, rummage sales, game nights, and special events for children like the 4th of July fair. Forest Lakes is the perfect retreat, whether you're looking for a cool summer getaway or a charming winter wonderland. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this tranquil paradise and create memories of a lifetime.
