MLS# 94252

1 / 27
Property Description
Exceptional opportunity to acquire approximately 320 +/- contiguous acres with commanding Highway 87 frontage in the highly desirable Slate Creek / Mount Ord corridor, just south of Payson in Arizona's Rim Country. Rarely does a property of this scale, visibility, and zoning diversity come to market in this region. The site encompasses multiple zoning designations (C2, C1, and GR), providing outstanding flexibility for a wide range of commercial, mixed-use, recreational, and long-term investment concepts. Recreational property, Cabin sites, Nature Preserve, Hiking/Camping, Ranching, Mining, Forest Exchange, etc. C2 zoning supports highway-oriented commercial uses such as retail, office, medical, hospitality, and food and beverage, while C1 zoning allows neighborhood-scale retail and professional services. GR zoning further enhances flexibility with allowances for low-density residential, agricultural, recreational, and specialty rural uses, creating a uniquely versatile entitlement profile across the property. The land offers dramatic Rim Country scenery, featuring varied topography, natural drainage corridors, existing access paths, and sweeping mountain and canyon views. Combined with substantial frontage and visibility along Highway 87, the property is well-positioned for phased development, creative site planning, or strategic land banking in a growing regional corridor. Located in unincorporated Gila County. Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, access, utilities, water availability, and development potential.
