257 LONG Lane, Lakeside, AZ 85929

Set on 3.77 fully fenced acres behind a private steel automatic gate, this is not just a home, it's a retreat built with intention. Bold in design and meticulous in execution, the property blends modern architecture with the raw beauty of its surroundings to create something that feels both elevated and grounded.

The experience begins outdoors, where a 3,400 sq ft Trex deck stretches across the back of the home and becomes the heart of the property. Anchored by a 30 ft AquaSpa swim spa, custom brick firepit with seating for 15, built-in hammocks, and steel railings, this is a space designed for gathering, unwinding, and fully taking in the mountain setting.

Whether it's quiet mornings or full evenings with friends and family, the scale and layout make it feel effortless. Inside, the home has been completely reimagined. A true top-to-bottom remodel with thoughtful, high-end finishes throughout. Bifold doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, while custom details like glass-enclosed shower

s, wide plank flooring, and upgraded lighting create a clean, modern aesthetic without losing warmth. The floor plan has been opened and refined, with structural improvements, new materials, and intentional design choices that make the home feel cohesive and functional.

Beyond the design, the investment in this property is substantial. Extensive exterior improvements including new decking, custom steel work, fencing, gates, and infrastructure upgrades. Interior renovations spanning flooring, bathrooms, custom bunk spaces, bifold door systems, and more.

Major systems have been addressed, including a brand new Trane AC system installed in 2025, along with updates to electrical, plumbing, and overall efficiency. This is a property where the heavy lifting has already been done. For those looking at this as an investment, the home is already operating as a high-performing, turnkey Airbnb with systems in place and a proven track record of generating income beyond its carrying costs.

It offers the rare ability to step into both a lifestyle purchase and an income-producing asset without having to build it from scratch. Location ties it all together. A short walk to the lake, with quick access to skiing, dining, and local amenities, yet set far enough away to feel private and removed.
