The Enclave @ Pinetop Development Opportunity 3900 Buck Springs Rd Terrain 3,86 ha À vendre 1 817 130 € Pinetop, AZ 85935

The Enclave at Pinetop is a rare development opportunity in the heart of one of Arizona’s most popular mountain towns. The site encompasses approximately 9.53 acres of beautiful, wooded land, backing up to the Sitgreaves National Forest to the north. Land like this is extremely hard to come by in Pinetop-Lakeside, with very few large parcels remaining. Ideally situated near the entrance to both the Pinetop Lakes Country Club and the White Mountain Country Club, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for a small, exclusive subdivision of homes.
The current layout for the property includes 18 lots within a gated community, along with six additional homes outside the gate—envisioned as short-term rentals. The plan is flexible, and the town is supportive of a variety of development options. As currently envisioned, the project has received preliminary plat approval. Floor plans and detailed architectural drawings for the proposed homes are also complete and would be included in the sale.
The property is located approximately five minutes from the nearest major grocery store, hardware store, and other local amenities, and less than ten minutes from both Lakeside and Pinetop town centers. These areas offer a wide selection of restaurants, coffee shops, Rainbow Lake, and a variety of shopping and dining options. Inventory in this region is very limited, especially for newly built residential product, and prices have risen significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic—following trends seen in other highly
sought-after mountain towns in Arizona.
Pinetop-Lakeside, located in the scenic White Mountains, was founded in the early 1880s by Mormon pioneers. Lakeside was named for the area’s many lakes, while Pinetop was named after a saloon keeper known to the soldiers stationed at Fort Apache. The two communities were incorporated as one town in 1984. Pinetop-Lakeside is renowned for its extensive recreational opportunities, inclusion in the world’s largest contiguous strand of Ponderosa pines, and exceptional quality of life. In 2015, Cabin Life Magazine named it the “Best Cabin Region in the U.S.” It is accessible from Phoenix via US-60 through the scenic Salt River Canyon or SR-260 through Payson.
The town is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest, the White Mountains, and the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. Popular activities include hiking, biking, and horseback riding on the 200 miles of developed multi-use trails that make up the White Mountains Trail System.
Hunting, fishing, picnicking, and camping are also widely enjoyed. Pinetop-Lakeside is noted for its golf courses and the amenities of Woodland Lake Park. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. Sunrise Park Resort, just 35 minutes away, offers excellent downhill skiing.
Pinetop-Lakeside plays a vital role in the economic development of northeastern Arizona. The town boasts a variety of natural resources, including clean air, abundant water, pristine lakes, expansive forests, and a refreshing four-season climate. It offers a supportive, rural business environment that encourages innovation, clean technology, and growth. Located alongside the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pines, the community supports a robust year-round tourism economy and a diversified service-oriented
business sector. Nearby Mount Baldy (Dzil Ligai) and Sunrise Ski Resort attract visitors from around the world, and Pinetop-Lakeside provides much of the lodging, hospitality, and retail infrastructure needed to support this growing market.
