The true heart of the property is its remarkable fenced backyard sanctuary. Wake each morning to mother quail leading her chicks through the garden while chipmunks play chase with cottontail rabbits nearby. In the afternoons, mule deer often rest peacefully beneath the shade of mature trees. Birdwatchers will delight in the approximately 28 species of birds that regularly visit the property, creating a living nature preserve right outside your door. Mature fruit trees, including two apricot trees, two apple trees, and a fig tree, provide seasonal harvests while enhancing the beauty, privacy, and character of the landscape. The backyard also features two irrigated raised garden beds and an irrigation system, making it easy to cultivate flowers, vegetables, or additional fruit-bearing plants. Evenings bring exceptional dark-sky stargazing and the peaceful sounds of nature, with little to disturb the quiet beyond birdsong and the occasional rustle of wildlife. Inside, abundant natural light fills the home through large windows that frame views of nature in every direction, with additional red rock vistas throughout the property. The flexible floor-plan includes three bedrooms plus two bonus flex spaces ideal for a home office, art studio, fitness room, guest accommodations, or creative retreat. Framing views of Thunder Mountain, the front room is bathed in natural light and features warm wood flooring, a beautiful stone fireplace, and elegant French doors connecting the space to the foyer. Whether envisioned as a library, music room, art studio, or peaceful retreat, the room offers exceptional flexibility and character. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to overlook the dining area and verdant backyard, where large windows invite natural light and garden views inside. Silestone Quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances provide a functional and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat and includes an en suite bath with dual vanities and a tiled shower. Constructed with a classic stucco exterior, tile roof, and attached two-car garage, the home offers the timeless architectural character and low-maintenance features that have long made Sedona homes desirable. With no HOA and short-term rental zoning, the property offers flexibility for full-time living, a vacation retreat, investment potential, or a combination of all three.
