Payson is a historic community that has worked hard to preserve its past, while becoming one of the most sought-after markets in the country. It’s a destination where the well-heeled come to vacation, shop, dine, and take advantage of some of the best views in the U.S.
Retirees, cowboys and weekenders converge here
Set against a backdrop of charming log cabins, historic buildings and rambling Ponderosa Pine trees lies the bustling town center of Payson.
Here you will find a Main Street lined with antique stores and art galleries, along with some of the Paysons’s tastiest dining.
Spotting wildlife or even an elk bugling at Green Valley Park is the norm.
On a Saturday afternoon, it’s practically impossible not to run into someone you know — whether a couple you met hiking the day before or your neighbor who visits on the weekend to escape hotter temperatures.
Payson views are world-class, but limited infrastructure and roads make public access challenging during the busy season.
Cabins in the mountains and expansive log cabin estates
With a cast of notable residents, a busy social calendar of fundraisers and golf tournaments, and some of the most exclusive addresses,
Payson is perhaps the most exclusive Northern Arizona enclave. From the historic homes along Main Street, with their lush lawns, towering Ponderosa Pines
and dense hedges, to the sprawling mountainside estates along Chaparral Pines and the Rim Golf Club, Payson properties offer a mix of old and new.
It’s also the home of the storied Zane Grey Cabin.
