About this home

Escape to the high country and discover this beautifully upgraded mountain cabin tucked away in Forest Lakes, Arizona -- the most coveted four-season retreat just two hours from the Valley. Situated on a peaceful lot backing to the Forest Service and surrounded by towering pines, this move-in-ready getaway blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, including off-grid capability thanks to a full solar system with inverter and battery backup. This charming cabin has been extensively renovated inside and out, ensuring peace of mind and comfort in every season. Major improvements include a new roof (2021), rebuilt septic system, upgraded drainage with stem walls and concrete apron, and new vapor barriers to protect the foundation. A newly added stone exterior, spark arrestor, and security system with night-vision cameras, motion sensors, and Starlink internet offer both style and safety. Inside, the home features a stunning new kitchen with raised ceilings, recessed lighting, new appliances, cabinets, and countertops, the perfect space to entertain or unwind. The living room boasts a gorgeous reclaimed "wormy chestnut" wood ceiling from Tennessee, treated in a kiln for preservation, plus a new fireplace with swing-arm cooking feature for off-grid adventures. New flooring, updated electrical and plumbing, fresh paint, and insulation upgrades ensure year-round comfort. Both bathrooms have been tastefully improved, including a new vanity downstairs. Additional features include new security screen doors, motion floodlights, rodent- and bird-proofing, and a fully cleaned landscape with dead tree removal. Whether you're looking for a weekend hideaway or a self-sustaining full-time mountain home, 341 Pinto Rd offers the rare combination of rustic style, high-end upgrades, and the freedom to live off the grid in Arizona's most pristine alpine community.
