Tucked among towering ponderosa pines just west of Groom Creek, this one-of-a-kind Prescott retreat makes its debut on the market for the very first time. Set on a private 1.81-acre lot backing directly to Prescott National Forest, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and convenience--minutes from Goldwater Lake and downtown Prescott! Extensive updates have already been completed, including a brand-new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, and refinished decking--delivering a fully move-in-ready experience. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive windows flood the home with natural light while perfectly framing the surrounding forest, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the outdoors. The spacious living room offers a large gathering area centered around a cozy fireplace--perfect for hosting and everyday living--while flowing effortlessly into an entertainer's dining room designed for memorable gatherings. The kitchen features granite surfaces and an attractive wood package, offering warmth, character, and functionality for both daily use and entertaining. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with refinished decks and multiple patio spaces ideal for enjoying Prescott's four seasons in a peaceful, forested setting. The home offers two bedrooms plus a dedicated office or study that can easily function as a third bedroom, along with two baths. The primary suite is a true retreat, generously sized with abundant closet space and direct access to a brand-new private deck, where mornings begin with birdsong and tranquil forest views. The attached two-car garage goes well beyond expectations, featuring numerous storage rooms along with a heated and cooled workshop--perfect for hobbies, a home gym, or creative space--all under one roof for year-round convenience. First time ever offered. Opportunities to own a private, forest-backed property with this level of updates, versatility, and accessibility are increasingly rare--this is Prescott living at its finest.
