But the threat of wildfires and water scarcity are complicating home purchases in Rim Country

BY LIBERTINA BRANDT DURING ARIZONA’S scorching summers, many Phoenix-area residents make the hourslong trek to popular mountain resort towns like Flagstaff and Pinetop-Lakeside. Matt and Kelly Dee wanted something closer to home.

In 2024, they paid $835,000 for a cabin in the rural community of Pine in Arizona’s Rim Country, about an hour-and-a-half drive from their primary home in the city of Mesa, just outside Phoenix.

Now, when temperatures in Mesa exceed 100 degrees, they can quickly escape to Pine, which sits at an elevation of about 5,400 feet with typical summer temperatures in the high 80s or low 90s during

“I can get there door-to-door in 90 minutes, which is ideal for us,” said Matt, 48, chief information officer at a healthcare nonprofit,

who first discovered Pine on a hunting trip. By contrast, it takes over two hours to reach Flagstaff or Pinetop-Lakeside.

Long a well-kept secret, Rim

Country is increasingly popular with second-home buyers and retirees. As the Phoenix metro increases in population—from around 2.2 million people in 1990

to an estimated 7.5 million by 2055—Rim Country is seeing spillover from the state’s more established second-home mountain markets, such as Prescott, Flagstaff and Pinetop-Lakeside. Buyers are drawn to Rim Country for its proximity to the Phoenix area and comparatively lower home prices, according to local real-estate agent Jeanie Teyechea of Pine Real Estate.

In August, the median home price in Rim Country was about $425,000, nearly double the 2018 median of $240,000, but well below Flagstaff’s median of $644,500, according to local realestate agent and attorney Dennis Riccio.

Residents say rural Rim Country has a slow-paced, cowboyesque lifestyle. Retired pharmaceutical executive Matt Portch, who moved to the Rim Country town of Payson from Boston in 2021, said it isn’t uncommon to see people carrying handguns. “If you pull up at an intersection and there’s not four other pickups around you, then you’re starting to wonder what’s going on,” Please turn to page M4

asa Encantada, a circa-1930s estate in Los Angeles, is one of the most important private homes in the country. In 2023, it was also briefly the most expensive home for sale in the U.S., with an ambitious asking price of $250 million.

In a stunning reversal, the storied Bel-Air property is now slated to be sold in a foreclosure auction following the 2023 death of its longtime owner, the financier Gary Winnick.

At one time, Gary was said to be the wealthiest person in Los Angeles.

He and his wife, Karen Winnick, purchased the roughly 8.5-acre Casa Encantada property for $94 million in 2000, the priciest U.S. home-sale on record at the time.

But in 2020, an entity tied to the Winnicks borrowed an initial $100 million from the real-estate investment Please turn to page M9
