Step into a storybook setting where artistry meets wilderness. Nestled among towering ponderosa pines and bordering the Cibola National Forest, this 17.59-acre retreat has been called a "Little Wonderland"-a name that fits its charm and serenity. In January 1896, famed healer Francis Schlatter declared that Datil Canyon would become "heaven on earth." This property brings that vision to life. Built in 2005, the 2,600 sq ft custom home is a celebration of craftsmanship and individuality. Hand-carved and painted posts, custom murals, and oak flooring create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Each room is unique, offering character and comfort throughout. The home includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a vaulted-ceiling great room, mudroom, TV room, and an upstairs craft/computer space. Two decks frame the landscape: the lower deck borders a small orchard of fruit trees, while the upper deck offers panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding forest. Beyond the main residence, the property features a studio apartment and a three-story log cabin guest house-ideal for hosting, rental income, or retreat use. Outdoor amenities include a root cellar, sauna, and a shower tub under the open sky. A 700 sq ft water-capturing roof system fills four tanks totaling 9,000 gallons, gravity-fed to the main house-perfect for sustainable living. Wildlife abounds, with elk, deer, and birds frequenting the property. Though it borders Highway 60 for year-round access, the home remains hidden from view, offering privacy and seclusion. Whether envisioned as a private residence, artist's retreat, wilderness basecamp, or B&B, this property offers unmatched tranquility, character, and connection to the land.
