1006 W Rock Springs Circle Payson, AZ 85541

Tucked behind the gates of one of Payson's most exclusive communities, home to just 20 residences, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath estate plus two additional flex spaces sits on over an acre lot and delivers hard-to-find privacy and craftsmanship, backed by the peace of mind of a brand-new roof. Throughout the home, hand scraped wood floors, newer carpet, crown molding, and 7 inch baseboards create a polished, cohesive feel, while a whole-home intercom, central vacuum system, laundry chute, custom closets in every room, wooden blinds, and pull-out storage in the cabinetry add everyday convenience you won't find in a typical build. A circular driveway leads to the three-car garage, which is wired for surround sound, while a covered front porch welcomes you into a spacious foyer. The arched, stone-accented entryway opens into a living room anchored by wood beams, vaulted ceilings, and a gas fireplace with a stone surround and blower, all wired with surround sound for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is the true showstopper, featuring a custom built-in range hood with a decorative paneled front, two-tone cabinetry with white perimeter cabinets and a contrasting island topped with clear glass dome pendants, and a patterned tile backsplash that ties it all together. Marbled quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, built-in microwave and oven, under-cabinet lighting, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a farmhouse sink round out this chef-ready space. The adjoining dining area is set beneath a modern sputnik-style chandelier. A home office, spacious additional den, and an updated powder bath offer flexible living for work and everyday life. The primary suite offers a sliding glass door that opens to the covered patio and an electric fireplace that adds warmth on cooler nights. The spa-like primary bath includes a jacuzzi tub, a separate walk-in shower with a rainfall head, and a custom closet. One additional bedroom offers its own ensuite bath, a window nook, and a board-and-batten accent wall with direct backyard access, while the remaining bedrooms share a shared bathroom with double sinks and new faucets, each has its own custom closet. Double doors off the living and kitchen area open to an entertainer's backyard, complete with a covered patio, an extended patio with a built-in BBQ, Viking grill, outdoor fridge, and bar top, turf, a wood fire pit, dog run, irrigated garden, outdoor movie screen, in-ground trampoline, a charming playhouse, plus plumbing already roughed in for a future casita or RV garage. With fresh exterior paint and every detail considered inside and out, this rare gated retreat on over an acre backs directly to the forest, offering direct access to the surrounding wilderness right from your own backyard. This is a home you simply do not want to miss.
