Property Description
Experience refined mountain living at The Ridge, a handcrafted, 100% off-grid log retreat with panoramic views to the San Francisco Peaks. Perched on 3.5+ acres, this bespoke cabin blends artistry and sustainability with hickory cabinetry, porcelain tile, a custom tile shower, and hand-peeled spruce logs. Solar power, propane heat, and a 1,500-gallon water system provide self-sufficiency in comfort. Just minutes from Show Low and the Sitgreaves National Forest, this serene escape redefines elevated luxury living.
Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets overlooking views all the way to the San Francisco Peaks from this custom handcrafted mountaintop retreat in the White Mountains. Designed and built by a master craftsman, this newly constructed, off-grid bespoke log cabin has everything required for sustainable living in a tranquil setting. When you drive up the private road to the top of the mountain, the cabin's hand-peeled spruce logs—harvested and transported from Northern Minnesota—seem to glow from within. The golden-cedar tone logs and the gray-green metal roof blend with their surroundings while creating a striking contrast to the wide-open sky.
Situated on 3.5 acres, you are on top of the world at your own secluded retreat, 11 miles east of the mountain town of Show Low and only 3 miles from the Sitgreaves National Forest. Inside, natural beauty continues with hickory kitchen cabinets and black hardwood butcher block counters. Porcelain plank tile flooring in rich, earthy colors flows throughout the open floor-plan kitchen, dining, and living area and continues into the main-level queen bedroom and adjacent fully plumbed bathroom. The bathroom features a split-log vanity top, decorative bowl sink, a custom tiled shower, and a water-saver toilet.
Double-pane sliding glass doors lead onto a west-facing, elevated back deck, where you can survey the valley below, revel in the quiet, and enjoy spectacular sunsets. A hand-hewn staircase leads to a spacious open loft bedroom with a hand-wash-stained focal wall and spruce tongue-and-groove flooring. Large enough for a queen bed and a queen futon, this room can serve as the main bedroom, a guest room for four, or a library, craft room, or office. Another glass door opens to a balcony with even more panoramic views.
This retreat is off grid but includes modern comforts. Rooftop solar panels with battery storage provide power for lighting, outlets, and a stainless steel refrigerator. Dual propane tanks fuel the stainless range and a high-efficiency Rinnai propane heater. A 1,500-gallon water storage tank with local delivery service holds all water needed for comfortable living.
Whether you're seeking a full-time retreat or an occasional getaway, for seclusion or proximity to outdoor adventures, The Ridge—at an elevation of 7,200' and minutes from abundant trails throughout the largest ponderosa pine forest in the country—will not disappoint.
