Icehouse Canyon, AZ

Tucked into the foothills of the Pinal Mountains just south of Globe, Icehouse Canyon offers a quiet, scenic setting where homes wind up the canyon toward Tonto National Forest. The area gets its unique name from the late 1800s, when ice was cut from mountain ponds and carted down to supply the local mining camps. Today, that higher elevation still brings cooler temperatures, mature trees, and a peaceful, semi-rural atmosphere.

The biggest draw for residents is having the mountains right out the front door. The canyon road leads directly into the Pinal Mountain Trail System, giving hikers and outdoor lovers an easy escape into pine-covered ridges. It is an ideal spot for anyone who wants privacy, shaded lots, and mountain views while staying just a five-minute drive from the everyday conveniences of downtown Globe.
