Property Description
Designed by renowned architect Vernon D. Swaback, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, this 6,700 sq ft contemporary estate on the premier street in Desert Highlands blends timeless architecture with comfortable desert living. Set on 1.8 acres overlooking the 1st hole of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and Pinnacle Peak, the home was thoughtfully positioned to capture golf course and mountain views from all main living spaces. The great room features soaring ceilings and walls of glass that open to the backyard, creating an easy indoor outdoor flow that feels natural and inviting. Distinctive spaces include a dramatic two story library, a private movie theatre with wet bar, and a temperature controlled 4 car garage. The main level primary suite offers two spacious closets and direct access to the heated spa, giving it a true retreat feel. Two additional guest suites provide privacy, including one with its own rooftop deck and spiral staircase to the patio. Even four-legged family members are pampered with a dedicated fenced run and doggie door. The backyard is designed for everyday enjoyment and entertaining, with a heated negative edge pool and spa, waterfall, fireplace, built-in BBQ, and multiple seating areas framed by natural boulder outcroppings and desert views. An immediate golf membership is available with access to the full lifestyle at Desert Highlands, including championship golf, tennis, pickleball, a renovated fitness center, clubhouse, and 24 hour guard gated security. The property is walking distance to the 18 hole putting course. If you’re looking for a home with thoughtful architecture, seamless indoor outdoor living, and a premier golf course setting in North Scottsdale, this is a rare opportunity.
