PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Welcome to your slice of Arizona’s High Country. Tucked beneath towering ponderosa pines on over an acre of private, treed land, this 1,450 sqft cabin-style retreat lives like a flexible 1 or 2 bedroom, featuring a comfortable main-level bedroom plus an oversized upstairs loft currently used as a second bedroom and a spacious hangout area. Whether you need a private guest suite, a bunk room for the kids, or a dedicated lounge with a bed tucked in, the layout adapts to however you live. Even better, the adjacent lot is also available for sale. Purchase both and you’ll own a total of 2.56 acres, a rare opportunity to lock in your privacy and protect your views for good.From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal sets the tone: rich wood siding with green metal roof, a brick chimney rising above the pines, and a wraparound covered Trex deck with an upper balcony off the loft, perfect for morning coffee and evening stargazing, with none of the staining and sealing of traditional wood. A LeafFilter gutter system with lifetime guarantee conveys to the new owner, one less thing to ever worry about.Step inside to soaring vaulted tongue and groove ceilings and a light filled great room anchored by a beautiful brick fireplace with wood stove insert, the heart of the home on chilly mountain nights. Oversized windows frame the surrounding pines, while a charming bay window reading nook with built in bench seating offers the kind of cozy corner you’ll never want to leave.The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, featuring warm wood cabinetry, ample counter space, a hanging pot rack, and a full appliance package. The main level bedroom is comfortable and private, served by a full bath with shower/tub combo. Upstairs, the expansive loft is a true showstopper, large enough for a king bed and a generous sitting area, complete with ceiling fan and balcony access. The loft is served by its own full bathroom featuring a beautifully tiled walk in shower with glass enclosure and granite topped vanity.Outside is where this property truly stands apart. In addition to a dedicated wood shed, you’ll find an oversized two car garage and workshop, a dream space with soaring open trusses, concrete floor, and workbenches. Store the toys, build the projects, set up the ultimate man cave or she shed. Mature pines and easy paved road access round out the exterior. Offered furnished if desired, bring your bags and start enjoying mountain life immediately. Whether you’re after a full time mountain residence or a weekend getaway, this one checks every box.You’re just minutes from the Mogollon Rim, Blue Ridge Reservoir, Knoll Lake, Clints Well, and miles of National Forest trails for hiking, ATVing, hunting, fishing, and winter snow play. Roughly two hours from Phoenix, an hour from Payson, and 45 minutes to Flagstaff, close enough for a Friday night arrival, far enough to truly unplug.Cabins like this, with this much land, this much storage, and the option to expand to a full 2.56 acres, don’t come up often in Happy Jack.
