Tucked away on 3 private acres in the desirable Doney Park area, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and everyday convenience. Backing directly to the national forest, this charming 1987 cabin-style home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and was completely remodeled in 2018 with thoughtful updates throughout. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere paired with modern comforts, including mini split systems providing efficient heating and air conditioning year-round.

Designed for both comfort and functionality, the property includes a arge 3,000-gallon water cistern with convenient scheduled water delivery service. The detached 2-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, tools, and outdoor toys, while the large Conex storage container provides even more space for equipment and storage needs. Perfect for families, outdoor lovers, or anyone craving space and privacy, the property also features a basketball court, an incredible tree swing, fully fenced acreage, and a custom automatic metal entry gate for added security and charm. Enjoy the feeling of being tucked deep in the woods while still being only 10 minutes from town amenities, shopping, dining, and schools. Truly a rare opportunity to own a private Flagstaff retreat backing national forest.
