4678 N Bear Flat Rd., Payson, AZ 85541

Retreat on Tonto Creek. It was just a 700 SF cabin when Bill bought it in January 1973, but it sat high above Tonto Creek in a small enclave called Bear Flat. Over the years, Bill traveled the world as an executive in the hospitality industry, but no matter the exotic destinations he visited, he always returned to Bear Flat. Its allure, its remoteness, its peace, fulfills its residents. Once you've been to Bear Flat it enters your blood; you find yourself drawn to its beauty. Over the years, there were several additions. The great wall and steps down to the creek were built by Bill and his sons with stones gathered from the surrounding land. Today this retreat on Tonto Creek includes a large island kitchen, over 200 feet of view decking, a treehouse and over 700 square foot garage.
