Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets overlooking views all the way to the San Francisco Peaks from this custom-handcrafted, mountain-top retreat in the WhIte Mountains. Designed and built by a master craftsman, this newly constructed, 100% off-grid, bespoke log cabin has everything required for sustainable living in a serene, tranquil setting. When you drive up the private road to the top of the mountain, the cabin's hand-peeled spruce logs harvested in and transported from Northern Minnesota seem to glow from within. The
golden-cedar tone logs and the gray-green metal roof blend in with their surroundings while creating a striking contrast to the wide open sky. Welcome to The Ridge. Situated on a 3.5 acres, you are on top of the world, at your own secluded retreat, 11 miles east of the beautiful mountain town of Show Low, and only 3 miles from the
Sitgrieve National Forest. As you tear yourself away from the incredible vista and enter the cabin, you will see the natural beauty continues inside with hickory kitchen cabinets and black hardwood butcher block counters. Porcelain tile plank flooring in rich, earthy colors flows throughout the open floor-plan kitchen, dining, and living area and continues into the main-level, queen size bedroom and adjacent, fully-plumbed bathroom. The bathroom also boasts of a split-log vanity top, decorative bowl sink, a custom-made, tiled shower, and a water-saver toilet. Double-pane sliding glass
doors lead onto a westerly facing, elevated back deck, where you can survey the valley below, revel in the quiet, and enjoy a spectacular sunset. Back inside, go up the hand-hewn staircase to find a spacious, open-loft bedroom with a hand-washed stained focal wall and buttery-soft, spruce tongue-and-groove flooring. Large enough for a queen bed and queen size futon, this room can be used as the main bedroom, a guest room for 4, or even a spacious library, craftroom, or office. However it is used, be prepared to be distracted: Another glass door leads to a balcony with even more breathtaking, panoramic views. This stunning retreat is off grid, but it is not lacking any of the comforts of home. Rooftop solar electric panels with battery storage provide all the power needed to run the entire house, including lighting, plenty of outlets, and a stainless steel refrigerator. Dual propane tanks fuel the stainless range and high-efficiency Rinnai propane heater. And a 1500-gallon water storage tank- with local delivery service- holds all water needed for clean, comfortable living.
Whether you are looking for a full-time retreat or occasional get-away, for seclusion or proximity to adventures and exploring, The Ridge, at an elevation of 7200' and minutes from abundant trails throughout the largest ponderosa pine forest in the country, will not disappoint.
