Property Description
Located in the mountain community of Nutrioso, AZ, The Landmark is a distinctive 3.86-acre estate with direct proximity to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The property features a beautifully appointed 3BR, 3BA main home, a 2BR guest trailer with 2 bathrooms, and a massive shop capable of accommodating vehicles, an RV, boat, equipment, or business operations. This is a private country retreat built for living, recreation, and escape.
Land
The Landmark occupies 3.86 acres in the heart of Arizona’s White Mountains, providing the space and privacy that make rural mountain living so appealing. The property borders the National Forest along its northern boundary, placing thousands of acres of public land and outdoor recreation essentially at your doorstep.
The setting combines the best of both worlds: a private estate with room to spread out, while still being conveniently located near the communities and amenities of the White Mountains.
Improvements
The main residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms with hardwood flooring and high-end finishes throughout. The home combines quality construction with the warmth and character expected from a mountain property, creating an inviting retreat that is equally suited for full-time living or a weekend escape. The home has a 2,000 unfinished basement with its own walkout making the possibility for extra living space if expansion is needed. The main residence is designed for comfortable year-round living, with ceiling fans throughout the home and the plumbing infrastructure in place for heating.
A second dwelling in the form of a two-bedroom, two-bath trailer provides additional accommodations for family and guests. Its retro character and interior finishes offer a nostalgic nod to a bygone era, adding personality and charm to the property.
One of the property’s most impressive improvements is the massive shop. With room for cars, an RV, boat, recreational equipment, or business-related uses, the shop provides the kind of functional space that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, collector, craftsman, entrepreneur, or simply need substantial storage, this building expands the possibilities of The Landmark considerably.
The Landmark also features an existing, fully paid-for solar array, providing an additional source of electricity for the property and helping offset ongoing utility costs. The system is already installed and in place, adding both practical value and energy independence to this exceptional rural property.
Recreation
For those who come to the White Mountains in search of recreation, the location is exceptional. With the National Forest immediately bordering the property, hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting, horseback riding, camping, and miles of forest roads are all close at hand.
Nearby Alpine offers virtually endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, including fishing, hiking, hunting, boating, camping, and exploring the surrounding high country. The White Mountains are renowned for their cooler summer temperatures, mountain forests, lakes, rivers, and abundant wildlife.
General Operations
The Landmark offers the flexibility to function as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, family compound, or rural basecamp for outdoor adventures.
The combination of a high-end primary residence, additional guest accommodations, and a substantial shop creates a property that can accommodate both comfortable living and practical rural pursuits. Bring your vehicles, recreational toys, tools, equipment, and guests–there is room for it all.
The Landmark has paid the fee to become part of the new water district. The water standpipe is already in place and can be used to obtain extra water. Sometime in the near future, the home can or will be part of the local water district.
Region & Climate
Nutrioso is a small, quiet mountain community in eastern Arizona’s White Mountains, known for its forested landscapes, open spaces, and four-season climate. The surrounding high country provides a welcome escape from the heat of the desert while offering year-round recreational opportunities.
Springerville, located to the north, provides the everyday necessities, shopping, dining, services, and amenities needed for mountain living. To the south, Alpine serves as a gateway to some of the region’s finest recreational opportunities.
The result is a location that feels secluded and private without being completely removed from the conveniences of civilization.
