About this property

SW 4 BR , Pool&Spa on 1.7 AC in Tonto Hills @ 3600' Elev Views for Mi

Our property is modern, southwestern style home on 1.7 acres in the Tonto Hills subdivision. It offers a great 360 degree view of the adjacent Tonto National Forest, the surrounding mountains and the "valley of the sun". At an elevation approximately 2450 ft., the daytime highs are 5--7 degrees cooler than the valley.

The 2700 sq. ft. main house has 2 full bathrooms, three bedrooms and large office which easily converts into a fourth bedroom. The master bedroom has a king bed. The two other bedrooms have queens. The office has a day bed which pulls out into two twins. The 564 sq. ft. pool house has another full bath, two twin beds.. The entire pool /pool house area is surrounded by a 5 ft. tall security fence. There are 3 roomy, comfortable covered flagstone patios framed with imported Castle Rock stone columns, and exposed wood beam ceilings. The main house has two indoor fireplaces and a beehive fireplace on the back patio. The pool house has another indoor fireplace.

The pool is approximately 36 feet long and 20 feet wide. It's depth tapers from 2 feet to 6 feet. The spa can comfortably seat 6 adults. Both can be heated by their own dedicated propane heater. The heaters are supplied by two 120 gallon propane tanks, piped to fuel either one or both heaters. For a variety of reasons, the cost of propane is NOT included in the rental fees and must be purchased separately. The need for propane and its consumption varies with the season and the weather but typically, for a 4-6 day visit during the winter months, one full tank (96 gallons) will heat the spa and the other tank will be needed to heat the pool. Propane costs have historically hovered around $3.00 per gallon plus taxes and fees during the winter but does fluctuate with the market. The tanks are remotely monitored and promptly refilled by the supplier when they reach 30% full. Guests only pay for what they use.

(NOTE- The supplier only fills the tanks to 80% of capacity the winter, 70% in summer, to allow for expansion during the daylight hours. It is called the "Valley of the Sun" for a reason!)

Great Escape

This was the perfect place in the mountains for an escape yet close enough to fun city stuff. Enjoyed the close trails, neighborhood wine bar, and the views from the pool and hot tub! Highly recommend.

Great property, great host

The house and surroundings are excellent. Very clean and plenty of sleeping space - the two kids used the trundle bed in the study. The pool and hot tub were fun and the views were very nice. Jeff was a great host - communicative before our stay and readily available and helpful with a minor issue with the pool heater that was quickly resolved.Highly recommended!

Great Stay

House is beautiful and family friendly. Great pool and hot tub. Nice to be able to have adult kids stay in pool house and spread out a little. Owners have thought of everything. So nice to not have to run to store for spices or basics! Amazing views in Tonto Hills. Close to multiple trails but even just walking and biking in the subdivision is great. Would definitely recommend for those who want to get away. You can be to a grocery store in 10-15 mins, only 40 mins to airport. Great home base for those who want a quieter alternative. Loved it.

Heaven in Tonto Hills

Being very familiar with the area we were still amazed at the location of this home and the mountain views in every direction. It is only a 15 minute drive to everything one could need, including shopping and dining.This beautiful welcoming home is situated on a huge lot in a very quiet neighbourhood, providing a perfect place to let our dog wander on the fenced property as well as going for peaceful daily walks. Wildlife sightings were an everyday occurrence - we saw javelinas, mule deer, coyotes, and cottontails, as well as a wide range of bird species.The pool house and pool and hot tub were a definite bonus, with an unbelievable stone walkway/bridge connecting them to the house. The house is spacious and well designed with plenty of room for everyone, and the amenities that were provided were very generous. The kitchen is well equipped and It was nice to find a pantry that had all of the basics.Jeff the host was very accommodating with meeting all of our needs and wants, and communication was excellent.If we are in the area again we would definitely return to this property.

Nice getaway location

We had a great family stay, 3 couples. The house was very comfortable and spacious and the pool area was great, just wished the weather had bit a bit warmer. The house could use a few updates, but these were minor. Loved the Raven's View wine bar, glad we brought in a chef for our special birthday dinner as this location is a bit remote, but that is also what makes it so peaceful!

Felt like home away from home

Our family loved our stay at this property. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with anything you could have needed. It truly made you feel like you were at home. The property is equally beautiful. Very private and peaceful. Great views and all you could hear were birds chirping. We loved it and would definitely stay there again if returning to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Hamblen

Host profile image
I grew up in Maryland and moved west in 1971 -- Colorado first, then New Mexico, and finally on to Arizona. I met my wife in California and moved her from the Bay Area to the Navajo reservation when I was the CEO of the hospital in Ganado. ..ain't love grand! We now live in Flagstaff. Cave Creek is our second/winter home, but we are happy to share. It was halfway between our two sons when one at the University of Arizona in Tucson and the other at Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff. I have retired but, my wife is still teaching at NAU.

Why they chose this property

Why not!!?? We bought it because of the quiet location, great views, and proximity to every kind of outdoor activity (I'm an aging rock climber) as well as all the Phoenix events.

What makes this property unique

This home has approximately 1,500 SF of outdoor flagstone patios and walkways. The back patio has a view of the mountains around the region. It also has a bee-hive fireplace. The pool and spa and pool house are located on the west side of the arroyo that runs thru the property to take full advantage of the view south. they are accessed from the main house via a unique concrete/stone bridge over a wash. The thick walls and tile floors keep the house cool -- along with the a/c. Southwest landscaping complements both the front and back patios. The swing on the front patio is a perfect place to read.

The development/ immediate area is a great place to run, hike, bike ride or walk alone or with your best friend.
Because of our homes 2450' elevation, the average monthly high and low temperatures are typically 5-7 degrees lower than Phoenix.
