Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a private mountain retreat situated on 4.17 acres in the beautiful rural Rim Mountain Trail community, approximately 30+/- minutes from Payson, beneath the majestic Mogollon Rim and at an elevation of 5850 feet. Surrounded by breathtaking 360-degree panoramic mountain views, this extraordinary property offers a remarkable combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and endless possibilities, with National Forest bordering nearly half of its boundaries. Perched in an elevated setting with sweeping views that stretch for miles, this gated property provides exceptional privacy, usable acreage, and the peaceful sounds of the upper East Verde River, located approximately 150 yards away. With no neighboring homes in sight, the setting offers an uncommon sense of freedom and tranquility, surrounded by pristine mountain landscapes and abundant wildlife. Rich in character and history, the original mountain homestead was built in 1960 with two subsequent additions. The charming, single-level, handicap-accessible residence offers 1,568 square feet, two bedrooms, and two baths. Expansive windows frame the surrounding scenery, bringing the outdoors into the living spaces, while a spacious open back deck and welcoming front patio provide ideal settings for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the spectacular views. There is also a separate bunkhouse with bunkbeds along with three additional outbuildings and workshops providing flexibility for hobbies, storage, and recreational pursuits. For those envisioning something beyond the existing homestead, the property's expansive, usable acreage presents an exceptional opportunity to explore the creation of a custom mountain residence, legacy retreat, or private family estate. The existing improvements offer immediate enjoyment while allowing a future owner to consider the property's long-term potential and preserve its distinctive mountain heritage. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the surrounding opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and exploring the rich history and natural wonders of Arizona's Rim Country. Whether seeking a secluded second home, an inviting gathering place for generations, or the setting for a future custom residence, this remarkable property offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, adventure, and connection to nature. An exceptional opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of Arizona's mountain landscape, where the beauty of the surroundings is matched only by the possibilities.
