About This Property
Ever feel like you just want to get away from all the craziness of the world? Well, here's your chance! Tucked away at the very end of the road, waaaay out in Cottonwood, this peaceful 6+ acre property offers the privacy, space, and freedom you've been dreaming of. Whether you're looking for a homestead, a family compound, multi-generational living, rental income to help offset your mortgage, or simply a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this one checks all the boxes -- including owned solar to help keep those utility bills low! TWO HOMES, each approximately 1,200 square feet! Both have been extensively remodeled and feature vaulted ceilings, open floor plans, and their own kitchens, living rooms, and laundry areas. Together, they offer 5 bedrooms, plus a dedicated office that could serve as a 6th bedroom, and 4 full bathrooms, giving you incredible flexibility for whatever life brings. Currently, the homes are connected by an interior hallway extending from the third bedroom/office of the main home to the kitchen of the second home, creating a fantastic setup for extended family or in-laws while still allowing everyone to enjoy their own space. Want more privacy or the opportunity to rent out the second home to help offset your mortgage? The seller can close off the connecting hallway, creating a walk-in closet for the bedroom on one side and a walk-in pantry for the kitchen on the other. Two completely separate living spaces! Both homes have undergone extensive improvements, including waterproof laminate flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting and ceiling fans, sinks, faucets, and bathroom vanities. One home also features brand-new windows, and both have new HVAC systems. And did we mention the OWNED SOLAR? Another huge bonus! And the outside is just as exciting! With over 6 acres of usable land, there's room for your animals, gardens, homesteading dreams, and just about every toy you can imagine. The impressive 24' x 48' shop even has its own half bathroom, and there's a separate 2-car garage for additional parking and storage. Enjoy a concrete patio seating area, beautiful mountain and countryside views, and the kind of peace and quiet that's getting harder and harder to find. No busy streets. No neighbors right on top of you. Just wide-open space, fresh air, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. Bring your family, your animals, your toys, and your dreams. There's room for all of it here!
