Nestled in the Bison Ranch area of Overgaard, AZ, this condo sits in a welcoming mountain neighborhood surrounded by tall ponderosa pines, crisp high-country air, and four-season outdoor adventures. The setting transitions smoothly from lively spring and summer getaways to crisp, peacefully quiet autumn and winter retreats.
Step right outside to browse local artisan shops and boardwalk cafes or head straight into the bordering Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest for world-class trail networks, elk viewing, and pristine mountain scenery. The area also carries legendary mountain lore: the famous 1975 "Fire in the Sky" UFO incident is tied directly to the national forest behind the property. Whether you are heading out for rim hikes, mountain lake trout fishing, or a high-country winter escape, Bison Ranch provides an authentic, accessible launchpad.
