Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a modern cabin in the woods of Payson, designed and built as his personal residence by award-winning architect and former Dean of Architecture at the University of Arizona, Robert Hershberger. Set on a private 2/3-acre site in Forest Park surrounded by mature ponderosa pines, this one-of-a-kind home reflects Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired organic architecture where design, light, and landscape are intentionally connected. Designed as a ''flower in the forest,'' the butterfly rooflines slope upward like petals to capture sunlight and channel rainwater into integrated cisterns below. A central greenhouse atrium brings natural light and a living connection to the outdoors into the heart of the home. Thoughtfully oriented true north/south for year-round sun control,
