Welcome to your dream property in Portal! This 9.3-acre hilltop property boasts a 1,950-square-foot site-built home, significant infrastructure investments, breathtaking mountain vistas, an adjacent seasonal creek, and national forest land access. Amenities are within short walking distance including the Portal Peak store and café, a post office, and a library. For outdoor enthusiasts, the renowned Cave Creek Canyon of the Chiricahua Mountain range is practically in your backyard, promising endless adventure. The property is steeped in Portal's rich history, situated along a historic horse pass where Theodore Kraft of Kraft Foods and his wife Myrtle built their cherished Arizona get-away.
Now, let's talk about value. This property isn't just beautiful, it's incredibly smart buying.
Supplements: No headaches here with the time and expense of developing raw land. The infrastructure investment is already done and includes:
- A deep, high-producing well nearly 600 feet in depth, a $70K- $100K investment savings in today's market alone!
- Both pole and underground utilities valued at over $300K in today's market. (The house is currently running on the overhead utilities).
- Two septics
The home is being enhanced with stylish new exterior stucco siding that beautifully complements the natural stone pool, patios, and walkways. Inside, a new free-standing tub with shower attachment completes the main bathroom. The master suite is thoughtfully designed with a private entrance, maximizing privacy and offering excellent rental potential. A separate den off the master, with sliding glass doors, opens to the backyard pool and overlook. A versatile bonus room off the kitchen and main bath presents endless possibilities: a creative studio, home office, or even an expanded master bath for a spa-like retreat! Comfortable 5,000' elevation, mild winters...chances like these are few and far between. What are you waiting for? Let's get your tour on the books.
