OFF THE GRID in Bear Flat. The last 3 miles is not for sissies, but the reward is a gated community in the National Forest with Tonto Creek flowing through. 90 feet up from the water's edge is The Retreat on Tonto Creek. This magnificent mountain home has deck and views galore. Wild game everywhere. Redundant systems - APS electric, solar on the steel roof and a thousand-gallon propane tank to run the generator. City water, plus a well and a community water tank. Fire truck just across the road. WiFi. You are fully self-contained. Big island and dining for 8. Huge family room with double fireplace to large game room with full bar. Write that novel in the sky office off the spacious primary bedroom. Everything stays, including the golf cart and a year's supply of survival food.
