Built for independence and wide-open living, this 2023 Cavco home delivers 3 beds, 2 baths, and over 1,624 sq ft of solid, upgraded comfort on 20 sprawling acres. Quartz counters, GE appliances, a remodeled shower, and wraparound concrete porches set the tone, while five mini-splits, a full solar power system, rainwater harvest, septic, slab, and a gravel drive make the property ready for real-world living. The orchard--peach, pear, nectarine, and apple--thrives on a seasonal drip system, and the land has already been thinned for fire safety. This is a property built for self-sufficiency. Power comes from a 14.6-kW solar array paired with a Sol-Ark 12-kW inverter and nearly 30 kW of lithium storage, all housed in the solar shed. Geothermal heating and cooling keep the home steady year-round, backed by a 44K BTU mini-split system and a 9-kW diesel generator. Water security is dialed in with a 5,000-gallon storage tank, whole-home filtration, reverse osmosis, a 50-gallon solar-powered hot water heater, and a 2,000-gallon rain-collection system for the orchard. Vernon offers the kind of elbow room and quiet that's getting harder to find--big skies, tall pines, and a community that values space, privacy, and the freedom to live on your own terms. It's a place where you can run equipment without bothering a soul, watch storms roll across the horizon, and still be part of a friendly rural network. Just down the road, Show Low brings the essentials: hardware stores, feed stores, groceries, medical care, and everything you need to keep a homestead running strong. The White Mountains add the rest--cool summers, crisp winters, lakes, trails, and endless country to explore. If you're looking for a property that's already built for resilience, comfort, and true off-grid capability, this one stands in a league of its own.
