Description

Perched on approximately 1.14 acres above the surrounding homes, this extensively remodeled hilltop retreat delivers the privacy, panoramic views, cooler mountain weather, and generous gathering spaces that make Payson living so appealing. High-speed internet makes the property well suited for remote work, extended stays, Airbnb, or an easy second-home escape. From the moment you arrive, the property feels like a private mountain getaway. An expansive paver patio creates an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, games, entertaining, and evenings beneath the open sky. Mature pines, three peach trees, a charming covered front porch, colorful sunsets, passing wildlife, and occasional winter snow complete the experience. Generous parking and a detached storage building add convenience and exciting possibilities for a workshop, studio, office, hobby space, creative playroom, kids' retreat, or other future flex use. Inside, multiple skylights and abundant windows create a bright, welcoming, and impressively spacious interior. The open-concept great room features warm wood beams, a stone-accented electric fireplace, and seamless sightlines connecting the living area, game space, dining room, and kitchen. A pool table creates a natural gathering place, while a separate media lounge behind custom barn doors offers a cozy retreat for movies, games, or quiet relaxation. The light-filled kitchen features a large overhead skylight, quartz countertops, painted cabinetry with updated hardware, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, pantry storage, floating shelves, and a spacious single-basin sink beneath a window. The adjoining dining area enjoys patio views, multiple windows, and sliding-glass-door access to the expansive outdoor living space. The private primary suite offers generous proportions, a sloped ceiling, recessed lighting, large windows, and elevated views across Payson. Its spa-inspired bathroom includes a freestanding soaking tub, dual-sink vanity, matte-black fixtures, and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Additional sleeping and flex spaces include a cheerful bunk room with a walk-in closet, an inviting guest room with its own walk-in closet, and a spacious room entered through elegant double doors that can function as another bedroom, office, or additional living area. A full guest bathroom with a skylight and subway-tiled tub/shower, along with a well-equipped laundry room featuring a utility sink, cabinetry, counter space, and direct exterior access, completes the thoughtful layout. Located close to town while feeling peacefully removed from it all, this property is ideal as a full-time residence, second home, mountain getaway, or potential short-term rental, subject to applicable rules and approvals. Furnishings, décor, electronics, kitchenware, linens, and other household items may be available through a separate bill of sale for a streamlined, move-in-ready transition. Turnkey short-term rental management may also be available; inquire for details. This exceptional Payson property offers a rare combination of privacy, acreage, views, space, comfort, and outdoor living--an inviting hilltop retreat designed to be enjoyed in every season.
