Living in Lone Mountain
Lone Mountain homes lead on land and privacy. This is the north side of Cave Creek, toward the Tonto National Forest boundary, where larger custom equestrian estates sit on acreage with horse privileges and private wells. Lone Mountain Ranch is part of the area.
Lone Mountain shares the 85331 zip with Tatum Ranch and Dove Valley Ranch, and it’s the private, rural end of that range. If you want room between you and the next home, this is usually where we look first.
Talk with me about Lone Mountain
What to check on Lone Mountain acreage
Buying land with a home on it raises questions a typical subdivision home doesn’t. Is the well shared or private, and when was it last tested? What does the septic system need? What do the horse privileges allow, and what does zoning permit if you want to add a barn, arena or guest house? How is the property accessed, and who maintains the road?
Those answers affect both value and financing, so we look at them early, before you’re committed. I’ll help you line up the right inspectors for wells and septic in addition to the home inspection.
How I represent Lone Mountain buyers and sellers
I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. Unusual properties need careful pricing, because few sales are truly comparable. I walk through the land and the home before I talk about value, and I explain which features buyers pay for here and which they don’t.
Based on my recent market review, Lone Mountain homes run from about $900,000 to more than $4 million, and that shifts over time. See selling a home in Lone Mountain or luxury homes in Lone Mountain.
