The epitome of Arizona living at it's finest! This spectacular equestrian property is a 10+ & has it ALL, including the fact you arrive on all paved roads. Almost $1.1M in remodeling, improvements & the addition of the guest house & detached 4 car garage in the past few years! The 4,210 sq ft gorgeously remodeled main home has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a spacious office, & a home theatre room. Even the butler's pantry/chef prep room & the laundry room (complete with a dog wash station) are both Pinterest worthy! The 780 sq ft detached guest house built in 2023 has 1 bedroom, family room, a full kitchen, separate laundry room, it's own private entrance plus patios to the front & back yards. The finishes & appliances in the guest home are superior to many main homes in the area! Perfect... for an in-law's home, the perfect guest quarters (though watch out - they won't want to leave!) or can be used as a short or long term rental. It has easy access to the backyard to use the amenities, but is also completely fenced, so can be kept separated. The property has a wonderful sense of arrival as you drive through the gated entrance onto the paver driveway. Walk through the arched gate into the charming front courtyard. Make a grand entrance through the brand new & impressive pivot front door ($20K!). You will be greeted with the gorgeous great room & views through to the backyard & beyond! This home was remodeled down to the studs in 2021 with all of the latest & most desirable finishes & color palettes, etc. They achieved the perfect blend of soft contemporary while still maintaining a southwestern feel with the vigas (solid and real wood beams!), solid wood doors, etc. This home is an entertainer's DREAM! From the open layout & wonderful flow of the great room, spacious gourmet eat-in kitchen with double islands, oversized formal dining area, to the home theater room to enjoy movie nights or host watch parties for your favorite sporting events, etc. The kitchen will thrill even the most discriminating chef with the built-in refrigerator, gas range with double ovens & 6 burner cooktop with griddle, etc. The primary suite is wonderful! Split from the secondary bedrooms, it a serene & private retreat. A spacious room with a sitting area in front of the gas fireplace, it has patio access both to the front & back. Masterfully built walk-in closets. The spa-like bathroom is gorgeous & newly remodeled - allowing you to feel pampered every day. Every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom & patio access to the beautiful outdoors. The great room has pocket sliding doors that open all the way up to truly enjoy that indoor/outdoor Arizona living we all love! Speakers inside & on the back patio add to the ambiance when entertaining. The resort style backyard features a negative edge heated pool, heated spa, putting green, large gas fire pit area, BBQ island with sink, commercial grade umbrella, & access to your roof top deck where you will enjoy 360 degree views of the beautiful desert & mountains surrounding the property. Wonderful horse set up includes an arena/turn out, 4 stalls, tack room & barn with water & electric. The HUGE 4+ car detached garage was added in 2022 providing extra parking, storage, and/or that ideal workshop, man cave, etc! The entire 2.5 acre property is fully fenced. Water is not a concern with your own private well - and it is a high producing one too tapped into a wonderful aquifer. You also have a 2,500 gallon storage tank. New well pumps were installed (both for the surface & the main in ground) plus a new well electrical panel put in ($14K in '23 & '24). The house also has a whole-home water filtration system. This property is completely dialed in & turnkey! The list of improvements is so extensive (see Documents tab for it), but some major highlights include: main house interior renovations ($350K in '21), guest house addition ($340K in '23), detached garage added ($85K in '22), new front windows & sliding doors ($80K in '23), ALL new (3) A/C's for main home ($48K in '24), new garage doors & openers for main home ($28K in '23), new custom pivot front door for that awesome first impression ($20K in '25), all new motorized window treatments ($15K in '21), awnings installed ($15K in '23), & SO much more! Enjoy the cluster of citrus trees in the front yard including 2 grapefruit, 1 lemon, 1 orange, & 2 tangerine trees. Not only will you get fresh fruit, but the smell of the blossoms in spring is intoxicating! You are near the edge of the Tonto National Forest providing access from your doorstep to miles of hiking, biking, ATV & horse riding trails! The Fraesfield & Granite Mountain Trailheads are close by too, as well as many other trails & recreational opportunities including golf. Rio Verde is one of only 20 Certified Dark Sky communities in Arizona so the stargazing is magnificent here!
