A Rare North Scottsdale desert oasis at the base of Pinnacle Peak. Set on a 2.15 acre lot, this exceptional resort-style residence offers views from every room of mountains, Sonoran desert and shimmering city lights. Tucked on a quiet street surrounded by custom homes and large lots, the property feels worlds away from it all, yet minutes from premier dining, shopping, hiking and golf. The grounds are nothing short of a private botanical garden, with dozens of towering saguaros, and rare specimens including organ pipe cacti and a quiver tree. All set against a natural area filled with even more mature palo verdes, ironwood, acacia and citrus trees. The result is a remarkably lush and private desert sanctuary that changes beautifully with the light.
Completely renovated in 2025, more than $400,000 went into reimagining the gourmet kitchen with a dramatic waterfall island, redesigned spa-like bathrooms, a new bar and laundry, new doors, lighting and flooring throughout. Other highlights include a dedicated home theater, private office, game room, resort style pool and spa, putting green, and expansive four and half car garage. Permanent holiday lighting, multiple patios, and indoor/outdoor sound system are some of the extras that make this a great house for entertaining.
Adding to the property's rarity, there is no HOA, and zoned for horses, with several neighboring properties maintaining stables. Despite its secluded, oasis-like setting, convenience is exceptional. Mastro's, The Four Seasons Resort, and AJ's are minutes away, as are premier trailheads, including Pinnacle Peak, Brown's Ranch, and Tom's Thumb, while golfers enjoy easy access to renowned courses including Troon North, and TPC Scottsdale.
