This is our "jewel of the desert": a native stone house, partially built into the mountain.

Private and secluded, at the end of its own road on our property, this two-bedroom, 1-3/4 bath beauty is in wonderful condition.  It features a wood-burning fireplace, range and refrigerator, washer/dryer hookup, attic, landscaped cactus garden.  High-speed cable is also available.

This homesite also offers a beautiful, shaded native stone wrap-around patio leading to a second private patio outside one bedroom.  Native stone walls around the home and grounds add to its charm, as well as mature landscaping and a large, separate, walled ready-to-garden area with raised beds and  more.

This homesite is steeped in history, being located along the old Cave Creek Stagecoach Pass.  The house was begun circa 1916, was finished in 1931, and has been carefully and lovingly maintained.

The house is nicely situated at the end of a private road, surrounded by the Sonoran desert Phoenix Mountain Preserve, yet offers convenient access to stores, shopping, etc. via nearby Cave Creek Road.

Offering a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, this unique home is perfect for long-term or short-term rental.

Unfurnished; maximum two occupants; water and trash pickup included
