About this home

Escape the stress of city life, follow a whispering driveway into the trees, and arrive at your own private mountain sanctuary on a sprawling 0.82-acre lot in the heart of Lakeside. This completely remodeled cabin at 1351 Ox Bow Dr is a perfect fusion of rustic knotty pine charm and refined modern luxury. Offered fully furnished, it delivers instant mountain living--turn the key and step directly into comfort, ease, and calm. Inside, you're welcomed by an effortlessly inviting aesthetic anchored by a stunning gourmet kitchen that blends contemporary elegance with warm cabin character. Enjoy gleaming white quartz countertops, rich wood accent walls, a classic white subway tile backsplash, a deep farmhouse sink, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The generous breakfast bar, illuminated by industrial pendant lighting, sets the stage for effortless entertaining--perfect for guests to gather with a glass of wine while you prepare a post-adventure meal. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a breathtaking great room, where soaring vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of high-set windows frame the surrounding ponderosa pines like living art. Warm knotty pine detailing wraps the space in timeless mountain charm, while a premium woodstove invites cozy evenings spent fireside. Above, a versatile loft adds valuable bonus space--ideal as a game room, kid's retreat, or additional sleeping quarters for guests--complementing three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A massive, low-maintenance wrap-around covered deck extends your living space into the trees, creating the perfect setting to enjoy Arizona's beautiful four-season climate. Set on nearly an acre, the property feels wonderfully private and peaceful, complete with a whimsical custom-built backyard treehouse that adds a touch of magic. A sleek, durable metal roof enhances both style and long-term peace of mind. Although it feels like a secluded retreat, this home is ideally located in the heart of town--just minutes from kayaking and fishing at Rainbow Lake, hiking and exploring around Woodland Lake, and close to local bistros, breweries, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're seeking a turnkey second home, a high-performing short-term rental, or a full-time mountain escape, this property delivers it all. Just bring your suitcase--your life in the pines is ready to begin.
