Build your mountain dream on this 1.25-acre lot in Lakeside, Navajo County, where a lush, green forest sets the stage for the home you've always imagined. With room to spread out and endless possibilities for your custom design, this property captures the natural beauty that makes the White Mountains so special. Nearby Scott Reservoir sits within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests and is stocked with rainbow trout in spring, early summer and fall, with bass and catfish also calling its waters home. An accessible boat ramp and picnic tables make it easy to spend the day on the water, and more lakes nearby mean even more places to fish and paddle. Hiking, horseback riding and walking trails are close by, along with shopping and dining in town. Your mountain paradise awaits! Lakeside is part of the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside, a welcoming mountain community set at roughly 6,800 feet in Arizona's White Mountains. Mormon pioneers settled here around 1880 and first called the community Fairview, renaming it Lakeside once Rainbow Lake was completed. Lakeside and neighboring Pinetop joined as one town in 1984. Today the area is framed by the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests and the White Mountain Apache Reservation, close to the world's largest stand of ponderosa pines, and Cabin Life Magazine named it the Best Cabin Region in the U.S. in 2015. Four true seasons define life here. Summers stay cool and green while the desert bakes below, fall brings golden aspens and oaks to the evergreen forest, and winter blankets the pines in snow. More than 200 miles of the White Mountain Trail System wind through the forest for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and many routes become cross-country ski trails in winter. Woodland Lake Park, often called the crown jewel of Pinetop-Lakeside, offers a fishing pier, boat ramp, lakeside loop trail, picnic areas and playgrounds, while Rainbow Lake sits right in the heart of Lakeside. Show Low Lake and Fool Hollow Lake are a short drive away, and Sunrise Park Resort, Arizona's largest ski area, is about 45 minutes southeast. Everyday comforts are close at hand, too. The area offers three golf courses, pickleball courts, a library, a movie theater, the White Mountain Nature Center, local shops and restaurants, and the nearby Hon-Dah Resort Casino. Full-service medical care is available at Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center in neighboring Show Low. With Phoenix about 182 miles away, Pinetop-Lakeside is an easy escape from the Valley heat, whether you're planning a full-time residence, a summer retreat or a weekend getaway.
