Description

Pride of ownership is immediately felt in this thoughtfully cared-for Cottonwood home, cherished for its unique positioning, privacy, and setting. Tucked back with intentional landscaping and privacy screening, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion, enhanced by a fully timed drip irrigation system that supports lush gardens and mature plantings throughout the grounds. As spring arrives, the home truly comes alive with blooming fruit trees—two apricots and a peach—along with stunning oak trees lining the drive, creating a welcoming and serene approach. The exterior has been freshly painted, the roof and HVAC system are both only a few years old, and the driveway has been meticulously maintained year after year.

Supplements: Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan centers around a spacious great room, offering both comfort and functionality. The owners have continuously invested in the home with care and intention, including improvements to the kitchen, primary bathroom, and flooring throughout, along with new flooring in two bedrooms. The oversized two-car garage stands out with extra height and depth on one side, ideal for storage, projects, or larger vehicles. Electrical upgrades provide exceptional versatility, including multiple 220-volt outlets and 50-amp hookups. The outdoor space is equally impressive, offering abundant room for RV parking with hookups, additional trailers, and recreational toys, with an improved RV pad allowing for even more parking flexibility. The backyard is designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a covered patio with 220-volt electrical already in place for a hot tub. Fire-wise planning and thoughtfully selected plantings provide privacy while respecting neighboring properties. Enjoy red rock views from the backyard and Mingus Mountain views from the front, all wrapped in a property that has been lovingly maintained, carefully improved, and truly treasured. Seller is a licensed agent in the state of Arizona
