GORGEOUS Spanish Style Home in Rio Verde - Golf/Tennis/Pickleball/Biking/Hiking! | House in Rio Verde

This home was entirely remodeled and furnished with annual updates to keep it in a premier state. 2 bedroom/2 bath, kitchen with all your cooking needs in mind, gas range, washer/dryer, Weber outdoor gas grill, WiFi provided, 2 flat screen TVs, and Comcast cable HD TV (with Sports Pak 2) with AppleTV, all digital apps on smart tv such as Netflix & Amazon Prime access. This home has fabulous views to a backyard desert garden, fruit trees in season, and a front view of mountain peaks.
** This is a 55+ community, which means that a majority of homeowners must be 55+ years of age. It does not preclude us from renting to guests who are under 55 years of age. However, each guest will need to provide a drivers license and register with the community association.
You will be staying in a Spanish style gorgeous home in a very quiet enclave surrounded by the beauty of the Arizona desert and mountain views, but also a very short walk (400 yards) to the 36 hole Rio Verde Country Club golf course and a mere mile to the 36 hole Tonto Verde Country Club (semi-private). You have access to the Rio Verde facilities (pool, fitness center, bocce ball, pickleball and tennis courts). (**Unfortunately, in March 2022, Rio Verde CC announced the guest membership offering is immediately suspended. As a result, our renters will not have access to golf at Rio Verde although there are many available courses nearby. We will update this when we know more. ) The entrance to the hiking and mountain biking trails of McDowell Regional Park is less than a half mile away.
We are nestled between the McDowell Regional Park and Tonto National Park; you can't find a better nature lover's location!
McDowell Regional Park: Located in the lower Verde River basin, the 21,099-acre park is a desert jewel in the northeast Valley. Elevations in the park rise to 3,000 feet along the western boundary at the base of the McDowell Mountains. Visitors enjoy a full program schedule, over 50 miles of multi-use trails, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountain ranges. A stroll through the park will allow visitors to likely see deer, javelina, birds, jack rabbits and coyotes.
Tonto National Forest: Serves as the community's eastern border, and the nearby Verde River brings with it amazing recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. Trees line the river's banks, bringing a burst of green to the landscape, and Arizona wildlife including javelina, Kingfishers, and American Bald Eagles enjoy this natural sanctuary.
