Welcome to this prime, 20 acre desert location near Scottsdale's iconic landmarks. Located directly adjacent to the McDowell Mountain Preserve and at the end of a paved, dead end road, you will find this stunning, pristine lot covered with the boulders that make the McDowell mountain park region unique. These formations are part of the broader landscape of the Sonoran Desert, which is known for its dramatic geological features. The combination of the desert environment with these ancient, weathered granite boulders creates a unique ecosystem and visual experience. The proximity to McDowell Mountain Park means that outdoor enthusiasts have direct access to miles of non motorized trails for hiking, biking, and trail riding right from their doorstep. At the heart of this exquisite parcel is a 4,700 square-foot custom home designed to complement the surrounding environment. The home features expansive windows and doors in every room to the outdoor living spaces that takes full advantage of the breathtaking 360' views of the Four Peaks, Granite Mountian, McDowell Mountain Range and the surrounding desert landscape. The architecture includes elements like stone and wood, harmonizing with the natural terrain. The master bedroom, complete with its own fireplace, has its own exit to the pool and spa which overlooks Tom's Thumb while the guest room and attached casita open to the north patio to take in the views of granite mountain. Views are amazing from EVERY room. The great room, chefs kitchen and custom wet bar ensure plenty of space for entertaining or just enjoying the cozy fireplace. Additionally the large and fully equipped attached casita is perfect for family or out of town guests with their own access to enjoy your time with them but allows everyone their own space.
Head outside to find the 12 stall mare motel with 60' runs, lights and automatic waterers located right next to the 8 horse Priefert walker. Also noteworthy is the BRAND NEW, high producing well!! The arena is huge at 150 x 300 with new footing and plenty of parking for trailers if your friends come over to rope, trail ride or just hang out.
This area is surrounded by upscale communities, with nearby luxury homes and ranch estates that take full advantage of the natural beauty and privacy the desert offers. While the setting provides a peaceful retreat, the property remains conveniently located just minutes away from world-class golf courses like Troon North, Desert Mountain, and Estancia and is just a short drive from Scottsdale's fine dining, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions, ensuring that convenience meets tranquility in this desert oasis.
