Property Description

Some places change your address. Others change your pace. There's something magical about Green Belt living. Cattle graze in open pastures, shimmering water reflects the changing sky, and sunsets linger. Set on 2.06 irrigated acres in gated Rio Bonito Ranch, this exceptional Modern Farmhouse is the essence of luxe country living. Surrounded by green space, walking paths, and panoramic views, the 2,941 SF residence offers 3 BD | 3.5 BA, drenched in natural light, soaring 18' ceilings, exposed wood beams + a spectacular screened patio overlooking open countryside, water views, and the Mingus Mountains beyond. With Oak Creek, private beaches, and miles of trails moments away, this is more than a home--it is a daily invitation to slow down, reconnect, and savor the moments that matter most. Beyond the gates of Rio Bonito Ranch, life unfolds at a gentler pace. Morning walks wind through emerald pastures as deer move quietly among the cottonwoods. Residents enjoy private beaches along Oak Creek, expansive recreational areas, walking paths, paved roads, and a rare connection to the land that feels increasingly difficult to find. As evening settles in, the ponds and pastures are bathed in the colors of spectacular Verde Valley sunsets. Despite its peaceful setting, everyday conveniences remain close at hand. The acclaimed wineries of Page Springs are just minutes away, along with local favorites including Manzanita, Up The Creek Bistro, G's Burgers, Brewha, and the Windmill Park Cornville Farmer's Market. Sedona's iconic red rocks are approximately 15 miles away, while Cottonwood's vibrant Old Town, I-17, Flagstaff, and Phoenix remain easily accessible. Built in 2018, this exceptional residence blends modern farmhouse design with thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless appeal. Large-plank porcelain wood tile flooring flows throughout the residence, while vaulted ceilings, substantial wood beams, and expansive glass create an atmosphere that feels both grand and welcoming. At the heart of the home, the open-concept great room is anchored by a striking Isokern fireplace, flanked by towering built-in art niches that create both a dramatic first impression and a natural feeling of elevated living. It is hard to know where the landscape ends and the home begins. A wall of sliding glass doors opens to the lodge-style screened patio, creating a seamless transition between indoor living spaces and the natural beauty beyond. Rolling pastureland, grazing cattle, visiting wildlife, and ever-changing skies become part of the daily experience. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the chef's kitchen features a Wolf gas cooktop, double ovens, built-in refrigerator and freezer, a substantial center island, abundant cabinetry, and an attached butler's pantry offering exceptional prep space and storage. An oversized pass-through window above the farmhouse sink frames views of lush pastureland, the community pond, and distant mountain vistas while connecting seamlessly to the outdoor covered patio, complete with bar seating and a built-in granite countertop for effortless entertaining and al fresco dining. The primary suite is a true retreat, where colorful garden blooms, endless green lawn, and the community pond beyond create a serene backdrop for daily living. A cozy sitting area invites quiet mornings with a cup of coffee or afternoons spent with a favorite book. The luxurious en suite bath offers dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a multi-head walk-in shower designed for relaxation. A well-appointed walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers is located just across from the bath. Step outside to stroll among fruit trees and native wildflowers before slipping into the private spa to enjoy bubbles, chromotherapy, and complete relaxation beneath open skies. On the opposite wing of the home, a flexible bonus room provides space for a media room, home office, fitness area, hobby room, or second living room. Two guest suites, each with en suite baths and generous storage, are thoughtfully positioned nearby. A fully fenced side yard with covered patio creates additional space for gardening, pets, or simply enjoying the sunshine. Beyond the residence, the landscape becomes part of everyday life. The inviting screened-in patio provides a front-row seat to passing wildlife, colorful sunsets, and the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding countryside. Across the property's 2.06 irrigated acres, there is room to garden, gather, play, or simply enjoy the rhythms of Green Belt living. An established fruit orchard, green pastures, valuable ditch irrigation rights, open skies, and a lasting connection to the land create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the ordinary. This is a place where seasons are measured by the changing colors of the cottonwoods, where water continues to nourish the land as it has for generations, and where the simple pleasures of nature remain woven into everyday life. Welcome to life at a different pace.
