With 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a spacious living room, large kitchen, walk-in closets, Arizona room and mud room, there's plenty of space to settle in whether you're looking for a full-time home or a mountain getaway. A newer roof and exterior paint add to the recent improvements. Outdoor recreation is right down the road--literally. Rocky Lane leads to National Forest, making it easy to get out and enjoy the trails, horses, hiking and everything that comes with living in Arizona's high country. The 5-acre property is zoned A-General in unincorporated Navajo County, offering flexibility for a variety of permitted uses and potential for future land division, subject to County requirements and approval. Buyer to verify all proposed uses and division possibilities. The property is serviced by Navopache Electric, septic and propane, with approximately 3,700 gallons of hauled-water storage. Pellet and wood heat add to the cozy mountain feel, and with no HOA, there's room to enjoy the property your way. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape from the valley, a horse property in the mountains, or simply a quieter place to call home, this is a property that invites you to slow down, spread out and enjoy the White Mountains lifestyle.
