A river runs through it! Whether you are looking for a tranquil family getaway or a permanent mountain residence, this lovingly maintained, owner-built 1,446 sq ft cabin in desirable Whispering Pines offers unmatched natural beauty. The main living space features 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a flexible room currently used as a 3rd bedroom. Enjoy an open floor plan with hardwood floors, a dramatic 12-foot cantilevered ceiling, and a bright kitchen island perfect for entertaining, complete with a separate laundry room and foyer/mudroom. Step outside onto your redwood deck to listen to the East Verde River and take in views of the Tonto National Forest. Sitting on 0.64 acres at the end of a quiet road with virtually no traffic, the property boasts approximately 100 feet of riverfront with a sandy beach (plus ~15 feet of land across the river). Because it borders the National Forest in a designated riparian area, no homes will ever be built behind you. Additional highlights include a cozy fireplace with insert, central heat, two portable AC units, covered parking with room for toys, and a working well with a 1,300-gallon holding tank for outdoor watering.No HOA Professional pictures coming soon!
