About This Home

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 2-bedroom, 2.5-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, dual vanities in the primary suite, in-unit laundry, and a 2-car attached garage. The rear paver patio opens directly to undisturbed Ponderosa forest with no rear neighbors. Elk and deer are regular visitors, and it is the kind of backdrop that stops people mid-sentence.
The home is sold fully furnished and turn-key, actively operating as a short-term rental with a 4.99-star Airbnb rating and a perfect 10/10 on VRBO across hundreds of verified stays. No ramp-up period. No reputation to build. Just a proven property in a market that keeps growing.
This offering is being sold alongside the adjacent 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit at 2018 E. Thunder Mountain, each on its own deed. Together they represent a rare chance to own two side-by-side, forest-backed, newly built homes in one of Payson's most sought-after communities.
