Public Remarks
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.
