Our family loves the Verde Valley and all there is to do. We’ve camped, hiked, shopped, toured dozens of wineries and stayed at resorts and homes here for many years. We love being able to share the magical beauty and feeling you get only here with visitors, helping them to create lifelong memories.
Why they chose this property
Rimrock & Lake Montezuma are undiscovered, even natives don’t always know where they are. It’s quiet here, big families of deer call it home and the night skies are incredibly dark - you see so many stars!
What makes this property unique
This hilltop location was selected by a man born and raised in Jerome. He built this home by hand and it was completed by his son. The views, the quiet and the undeniable beauty are unmatched.
