Description

No HOA! Own .82 of an acre of treed land inside Show Low city limits, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. This 1,792 sq ft, 3 bed/2 bath home features a new roof (2025), new hickory cabinets in the kitchen and dual-sink primary bath, a gas range, wood-burning stove, vaulted ceilings and skylights. The covered, attached 494 sq ft recreation room with fireplace is made for entertaining, and the hot tub, pool table, shuffleboard and skee-ball all stay with the home! Out back, the big yard has a peach tree, pear tree and 3 apple trees among the tall pines, plus a playset, storage sheds and room to park the toys. A perfect Airbnb opportunity or family getaway in the cool pines of the White Mountains! Step inside and the living room centers on a wood-burning stove set on a tile hearth, with wood-look flooring flowing into the dining area and a separate carpeted family room for movie nights. The kitchen offers plenty of hickory cabinet space, a tile backsplash, a stainless gas range and dishwasher, a peninsula, and a skylight that keeps it bright. The primary suite has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan, and its bath includes a double vanity, skylight, tub/shower and a separate toilet room. Two more bedrooms give you room for guests or a home office, and the second full bath has its own skylight. A laundry room with an exterior door, a covered breezeway to the rec room, a bonus room for the skee-ball and a shelved storage room round out the inside. Outside, French doors open to a gravel patio, and there's a metal workshop shed, a wood storage shed, a firewood shed and a wide gravel drive with room for RVs and trailers.

Show Low sits at about 6,345 feet on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona's White Mountains, surrounded by the ponderosa pines of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Summer highs average around 85 degrees with cool nights, and winters bring about 19 inches of snow, so you get four real seasons. Even the town's name has a story: legend says two ranching partners played cards to decide which one would leave, and when one was told "If you can show low, you win," he turned up the deuce of clubs. The main street is still called Deuce of Clubs today.

For the outdoors, Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area just outside town has rainbow trout stocked year-round, plus bass, walleye and pike. It also has boating, kayaking, swimming and lakeside camping. Show Low Lake is close by as well, and the surrounding national forest offers miles of hiking, biking and backroad trails. In winter, Sunrise Park Resort is roughly an hour away for skiing and snowboarding.

Everyday needs are close at hand, with grocery stores, restaurants and shopping along Deuce of Clubs and Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center in town. Show Low Regional Airport has commercial flights to Phoenix on Contour Airlines, and the Valley is about a three-hour drive away. That makes Show Low a favorite escape from the summer heat and a strong market for vacation rentals. Short-term rentals in Show Low need a city permit, so buyers should check current requirements with the City.
