Property Description
For horse folks, the appeal of 56 Elk Trail starts well before you reach the house. The 20+ acres are set up with three cross-fenced turnouts (two have shelters), two separate electric fence circuits, a 50'x60' horse barn, and a leveled 90'x200' area ready for an arena. At the back of the property, a gate opens directly to the Gila National Forest for riding and hiking into the surrounding 3.3 million acres of public ground.
The four-stall barn, built in 2021, reflects the attention to practical details and easy workflow. Its 12' stalls have 48' runs, plenty of hay storage, equipment storage, and a tack room with a mini-split for temperature control. A dog wash sink with a tankless water heater is another welcome detail after a day outdoors.
The 2,204 sq ft home makes the most of its setting. Windows in nearly every room bring in natural light and frame views of the horse pastures, rolling hills, and forest. The spacious kitchen pairs granite countertops and custom wood cabinets with a double sink positioned to enjoy those views; a separate pantry and half bath are just off the kitchen. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom and exterior door, offering flexibility and privacy for residents and guests.
Two propane fireplaces, a wood stove, radiant heat, and insulated blinds provide options for comfort through the seasons. Outside, the covered porch is a place to slow down, watch for elk, and take in the landscape.
Located in the GOS Ranch area, with its own long and interesting history, 56 Elk Trail borders the Gila National Forest. Whether your days are spent riding, hunting, fishing, hiking, or simply enjoying the outdoors, a lifetime of exploration awaits in the surrounding Gila country.
