Privacy, scale, views, and location--this is Scottsdale desert living at its finest. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to own one of the last large parcels in the City of Scottsdale--just under 14 pristine acres directly bordering the McDowell Mountain Preserve. Set at the end of a paved cul-de-sac, this exceptional property delivers unmatched privacy, serenity, and truly breathtaking desert views in every direction. The land itself is a showpiece, adorned with the dramatic granite boulder formations that define the McDowell Mountain region and the Sonoran Desert's iconic landscape. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to miles of non-motorized trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding--right from your doorstep. At the center of the property sits a thoughtfu designed 4,700 sq ft custom home that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Recently updated with a new roof, the residence features expansive windows and doors in nearly every room, framing sweeping 360° views of Four Peaks, Granite Mountain, the McDowell Mountains, and the surrounding desert. The primary suite offers its own fireplace and private exit to the pool and spa, perfectly positioned to capture views of Tom's Thumb. A guest suite and attached casita open to the north patio with stunning Granite Mountain vistas. The spacious great room, chef's kitchen, and custom wet bar create an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet desert evenings by the fire. The large attached casita is fully equipped with private access--perfect for extended family or guests seeking both connection and privacy. Equestrian amenities are equally impressive. The property features a 12-stall mare motel with 60' runs, lighting, and automatic waterers, situated beside an 8-horse Priefert walker. The expansive 150' x 300' arena offers new footing and ample trailer parking for riding, roping, or hosting friends. A brand-new high-producing well adds significant value and reliability. Surrounded by prestigious luxury homes and ranch estates, this peaceful desert retreat is just minutes from world-class golf at Troon North, Desert Mountain, and Estancia, as well as Scottsdale's renowned dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.
