Property Description
Payson sits at 5,000 feet in the heart of Arizona's Rim Country, where the desert gives way to towering Ponderosa pines, cool summer air, and a pace of life that draws people back season after season. It is 1.5 hours from Phoenix and a world apart, and The Sanctuary at the Rim is one of the best addresses in it. Built in 2021, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is genuine new construction with all the finishes to match: 9-foot ceilings, an open great room, a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and island seating, an upgraded glass-enclosed master shower, in-unit laundry, and a 2-car attached garage. The rear paver patio opens directly to undisturbed Ponderosa forest with no rear neighbors.
