1043 E Rio Mesa Trl, Cottonwood, AZ 86326

Pride of ownership is immediately felt in this thoughtfully cared-for Cottonwood home, cherished for its elevated, perched positioning, privacy, and serene setting. Set above surrounding properties, the home enjoys a sense of separation and quiet that is rarely found, while still remaining conveniently located. Tucked back with intentional landscaping and privacy screening, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion, enhanced by a fully timed drip irrigation system that supports lush gardens and mature plantings throughout the grounds. As spring arrives, the home truly comes alive with blooming fruit trees--two apricots and a peach--along with stunning oak trees lining the drive, creating a welcoming and peaceful approach. The exterior has been freshly painted, the roof and HVAC system are both only a few years old, and the driveway has been meticulously maintained year after year, providing a clean and well-kept approach to the home.nnInside, the split-bedroom floor plan centers around a spacious great room, offering both comfort and functionality. The owners have continuously invested in the home with care and intention, including improvements to the kitchen, primary bathroom, and flooring throughout, along with new flooring in two bedrooms. The oversized two-car garage stands out with extra height and depth on one side, ideal for storage, projects, or larger vehicles. Electrical upgrades provide exceptional versatility, including multiple 220-volt outlets and 50-amp hoo
