Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a cabin in the woods in Payson, designed and built as his personal residence by former Dean of Architecture at the University of Arizona and award-winning architect, Robert Hershberger. Set on a private 2/3-acre lot surrounded by mature ponderosa pines, this home reflects Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired organic architecture where design, light, and landscape are intentionally connected. The architect describes the home as a ‘flower in the forest,” with two major rooflines sloping upward to the north and south like petals to capture sunlight and direct rainwater into lower-level cisterns (the roots), while the central greenhouse (the stamen) supports plant life and light within the home. Very large high windows on each side of a gas fireplace greet those entering the home, along with spectacular views of ponderosa pines and the ever-changing skyline. Each room on the main level features high windows, framing a unique view of the forest, while skylights and interior glass bring natural light deeper into the home. A central greenhouse atrium serves as a transition from the south-facing covered porch into the house, connecting indoor and outdoor living. The great room combines living, dining, and kitchen spaces with custom birch cabinetry and aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings. The main level includes the primary suite with separate closets, along with a study, powder room, and pantry. The lower level includes two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a very large recreation room. This room features a built-in pool table with storage beneath and could serve as a third bedroom with its three closets. Additional lower-level spaces include storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and two dedicated cistern rooms. Outdoor spaces include a south-facing covered porch designed for year-round use, a walled garden for protection from wildlife, and terraces and pathways that follow the natural contours of the land. A two-car garage and additional driveway parking provide ample guest parking. Solar panels provide supplemental energy efficiency and support the home’s long-term sustainability. This is not simply a home – it is a rare architectural expression where nature, structure, and design are fully integrated, offering a one-of-a-kind living experience in the forest. This listing is for the house only which is on lot 135. Lot 134 is being sold separately for $125,000.
