Did a bike trip from AZ to Mountain View last year. Great riding in the area. Managed a day of fishing (3 of us caught a ton of nice trout). Mt View definitely a small town, and in a dry county. Had to ride almost 20 miles across county line to buy liquor. Very pretty country. Looks like a great house and cheap compared to North Central Arizona. Only downside for me would be summer heat/humidity and skeeters.
