Surrounded by towering pines and backing directly to the National Forest, this rare 3 bed, 2 bath Pinetop retreat offers an unbeatable combination of privacy, nature, and in-town convenience--a truly hard-to-find setting.

This property is a dream for those who love the outdoors, RV lifestyle, and exploring all that the White Mountains have to offer. With a massive attached RV carport complete with full hookups, an attached 2-car garage, and even additional prep sinks in both the garage and between the guest bedrooms, the home is designed for functionality, hobbies, and adventure. Whether you're cleaning up after a day on the trails, hosting guests, or working on projects, the extra utility spaces are a rare and thoughtful touch. Inside, the home welcomes you with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a spacious open-concept layout filled with natural light from large windows and skylights. The split floorplan provides privacy, with a massive primary suite that features a private sitting area, en-suite bathroom, and walk-in closet, your own retreat after a day in the mountains. A cozy pellet stove anchors the living area, creating the perfect place to gather and stay warm during the cooler mountain months. The two oversized guest bedrooms each have their own exterior access, offering flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. A unique jack-and-jill style sink prep station connects the two rooms, currently used as a craft space, but easily convertible into an additional bathroom or expanded guest suite. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The large covered T&G back deck overlooks the National Forest, creating the perfect space to relax, entertain, and take in the wildlife; deer, elk, and birds often pass through, making every morning coffee feel like a retreat. An additional open deck and covered front deck provide even more space to enjoy the fresh mountain air and all four seasons. Additional highlights include direct National Forest access right out your back door, end-of-the-road privacy with minimal traffic, and a well-kept, pride-of-ownership neighborhood with no HOA. Large windows and skylights flood the home with natural light, complementing the split floorplan and open living concept. Recent updates include a new water heater in 2025 and a new furnace in 2026, offering peace of mind for years to come. The property also features an attached 2-car garage and a spacious RV carport with full hookups, making it ideal for those who love to travel and explore. This home carries a feeling you can't recreate, the kind of place where memories are made for generations.
