Applecross Cottage, a highly popular vacation rental in Kohl's Ranch, is now for sale. In the heart of The Mogollon Rim, where the Forest and the Creek meet. Quiet, secluded, bucolic neighborhood off the beaten path. Fish in Tonto Creek, across the lane, and hike right out your front door for miles.
Applecross is reminiscent of a chalet, with vaulted ceilings, up above the world. Skylights flood the upstairs with light and make for great stargazing right from your bed. The dining area is all windows with views of the forest.
Follow the pathway to the Hot tub. It's an enchanting little perch with great views. Or roast marshmallows on the deck with expansive views of the night sky. During winter, enjoy the real flames in the propane Jøtul stove while watching movies with the family.
Elk, deer, javelina, raccoons, squirrel, and a ton of birds will be your daily visitors.
Kohl's Ranch Lodge is right down the lane; enjoy a cocktail at the Saloon or a wonderful meal at Zane Grey BBQ Restaurant. Locals get a discount!
Property has been remodeled (w/ permits) and is turnkey; all furnishings and household goods included so you can get to relaxing immediately. Propane gas stove, dishwasher and fridge are all newer, as is the Mini Split system recently installed throughout the cabin. LARGE washer and dryer included; makes laundry day fast! Large shed with a porch for rocking stores your supplies steps from your door.
Hot tub is perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, enjoying the gorgeous views. Feels very private!
The wild roses thrive, as do the planted flowers and fruit trees. The whole property is bursting with color come spring.
Current internet provided via Star Link included, as is a cell signal booster.
Large lot with many little paths leading to various sitting areas. Completely fenced, so it's great for your dogs and kids. Easy parking on large driveway with plenty of room to build a garage.
Take advantage of a fabulous location, a wonderful home and a great neighborhood! Beat the heat and enjoy your own slice of the Tonto National Forest.
