Woodland Escape with Pickleball, Porch Views & Optional Private Saloon

Tucked deep within a canopy of towering pines, Payson Heights isn’t just a home—it’s a gathering place for connection, laughter, and wide-open adventure. Set on five pristine acres at the edge of Arizona’s Rim Country, this 9-bedroom, 6.5-bath estate blends rugged beauty with unexpected luxury. It’s where morning coffee tastes better from the wraparound porch, where evenings are spent under stars playing pickleball or swapping stories around the fire. This home was built for togetherness. With three spacious living areas, endless games (from billiards to bags), and a layout designed for large groups, everyone has space to play, rest, and recharge. Kids chase trails while grown-ups compete at ping pong. And if you’re looking to take your experience to the next level, the optional private saloon and guest house add a dash of Old West charm—complete with swinging doors and its own brand of fun. Whether it’s a family reunion, a friends' getaway, or a peaceful retreat from the city, Payson Heights welcomes you with mountain air, unmatched views, and every amenity you didn’t even know you needed.
