Nestled at the prestigious northern edge of Payson, Arizona, 1904 N Underwood Court is a rare and extraordinary estate that defines once-in-a-lifetime living. This meticulously crafted nearly 3,600 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bath masterpiece sits on 2.76 acres at the end of the coveted ''The Woods of Payson'' subdivision, perched atop the highest knoll with commanding 360-degree views. Adjoining the Tonto National Forest, this single-owner horse property offers direct access to endless riding trails, dark skies for unparalleled stargazing, and a serene connection to nature that discerning buyers will recognize as irreplaceable. To the north, the majestic Mogollon Rim stretches across a hundred-mile canvas, a breathtaking backdrop framed by the Tonto National Forest. To the south, the rugged Granite Dells mountains inspire awe and adventure. Whether savoring the fragrance of blooming herbs from the downstairs patio or gazing out from the expansive upstairs wraparound deck—complete with piped propane for effortless BBQ grilling—the views are nothing short of spectacular.
Built from the ground up by a couple who raised their children in a nurturing, nature-rich environment, this 20-year-old home exudes timeless care and quality. The property is a sustainable gardener's paradise, featuring a professionally designed organic garden and permaculture landscape crafted by a renowned permaculture designer specializing in regenerative land management. Integrated tree crops and expertly engineered earthworks enhance water infiltration and reduce runoff on the sloped terrain, stabilizing soil and fostering long-term ecosystem health. This resilient design, fed by a private well with a sophisticated irrigation system, supports an abundance of fruit trees and permaculture berms, creating a self-sustaining oasis that harmonizes with natural systems. The vast majority of the estate is fenced to keep elk at bay, with additional fencing safeguarding the backyard garden, ensuring both security and serenity.
Inside, the home radiates warmth and elegance with rich cherry wood kitchen cabinets, light-toned countertops, and modern upgrades including newer A/C units, a new dishwasher, and an upgraded ''On Demand'' hot water heater with recirculating pump. The metal roof, gutters, and water spigots thoughtfully placed around the property add practicality to its charm. Every detail, from the professionally landscaped grounds to the inviting interior, reflects a labor of love and pride of ownership.
This mostly fenced estate is a sanctuary for those who value privacy, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the land. Whether you're an equestrian dreaming of riding into the forest, a gardener seeking a sustainable legacy, or a family craving space and inspiration, this property delivers. With its unmatched location, thoughtful permaculture design, and pristine condition, 1904 N Underwood Court is a rare opportunity to own a regenerative estate that will captivate and inspire for generations. Don't let this extraordinary property pass you by—opportunities like this are as fleeting as the scent of rain.
