2411 S Wandervogel Way, Portal

Situated right in the heart of Portal at an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet, this 28-acre hilltop property offers magnificent mountain views and a custom-built, 1,948-square-foot adobe brick home with a natural stone pool. New exterior stucco siding is in process. Enjoy the up-close scenery from your kitchen and living room while the fireplaces are going, and take in the exceptional stargazing conditions in the evening. Extended patios in the front and back, and a walking path meanders above the creek. The property is situated on a historic horse pass where Theodore Kraft of Kraft Foods and his wife Myrtle built their getaway. National forest land borders the parcels, and the seasonal creek is accessible by foot. What can you do with the land? There are a number of possibilities when you own four separate parcels. A substantial investment has already been made in underground utilities that are accessible to the surrounding parcels, and the newer, above-standard 600-foot-deep well is shareable. The adjoining 10-acre parcel above the house would make a lovely site for a new custom home, or preserve it for maximum privacy. Some TCL will go a long way with this spacious home that can be remodeled to suit your taste. Plans were in place for a new master bathroom that opened to an outdoor spa. Amenities like the Portal Peak Store and Café and the post office are within walking distance, and the entrance to Cave Creek Canyon is a couple miles down the road.
