Elevated Getaway in the Pines—Pickleball, Porch Views & Endless Fun

At Payson Heights, time is measured not by the hour, but by moments that matter: sunrise coffee on the wraparound porch, echoing laughter during family pickleball matches, and stories shared fireside under the stars. Nestled on five sprawling acres among whispering pines, this 9-bedroom, 6.5-bath estate was designed for reconnection and recreation. Three living rooms offer space for everyone—from kids playing board games to adults relaxing with wine and a view. Indoors, a billiards room, ping pong table, and thoughtful game collection keep the energy flowing. Outdoors, two pickleball courts, horseshoes, and room to roam turn any afternoon into an adventure. Want to turn your stay into something unforgettable? Ask about adding the optional private Saloon and guest house, a true crowd-pleaser that brings rustic charm and bonus space for larger groups. Whether you're celebrating, reminiscing, or simply escaping, Payson Heights delivers nature, comfort, and memories that linger long after checkout.
