Moments From Your Door

This is a forested, one-acre-lot enclave in Ponderosa Springs Estates along Colcord Creek, tucked between Kohl's Ranch and Christopher Creek roughly 20 minutes northeast of downtown Payson on Highway 260 beneath the Mogollon Rim. The lifestyle here centers on Tonto Creek trout fishing, the Rim Lakes (including Woods Canyon Lake), historic lodge dining at Kohl's Ranch, and day trips into Payson for the town's park, museum, golf, and everyday errands.
