Property Highlights

Built for the way
families actually live

This luxury estate was designed around three principles: the privacy to disappear from the world, the space to keep everyone you love close, and the craftsmanship to make every room feel like it was made just for you.

01

Gated Compound Privacy

Two private gated motor courts separate the estate from the street, with space for multiple vehicles and seamless access to all structures of the luxury estate.

02

Second Floor Guest Residence

A fully independent upper-level suite — approximately 1,500 sq ft — featuring a generous bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, separate entrance, and a private covered patio with spectacular mountain views.

03

Resort Pool & Tennis Court

A resort pool with fountains and spa, circular fire pit terrace, covered loggia with fire table, and a regulation lighted tennis court with shaded pavilion — all framed by Mummy Mountain.

04

Extraordinary Craftsmanship

From the marble inlay foyer medallion to the hand-carved fireplace surround and bookmatched Calacatta shower — every room was finished at the same uncompromising level.

05

Multi-Structure Compound

This luxury estate encompasses a collection of living spaces — main house, guest wing, and upper residence — ideal for multi-generational living or extended family gatherings.

06

Paradise Valley Prestige

One of the most coveted zip codes in the Southwest, minutes from world-class golf, dining, and hiking.

Grand two-story foyer with chandelier and iron staircase

The Arrival

A foyer that makes
every entrance unforgettable

The two-story entry hall sets the tone immediately — soaring ceilings framed by hand-hewn wood beams, a crystal chandelier suspended above a custom marble inlay medallion, and a sweeping iron-and-marble staircase that curves to the upper level with unhurried elegance.

From the moment the arched walnut doors open, the scale and craftsmanship of this home are unmistakable.

Hand-carved fireplace with bas-relief medallion and mountain views

The Living Room

Where craftsmanship
meets the mountain view

The living room is anchored by a hand-carved antique fireplace surround — an irreplaceable architectural piece with an ornate bas-relief medallion and sculptural column details that took artisans months to complete.

Floor-to-ceiling arched windows frame sweeping views of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and the Phoenix city lights beyond, flooding the room with natural light from every angle.

Spa bath with freestanding soaking tub and mountain views

The Guest Wing

Private suites worthy
of any destination

The guest wing offers three bedrooms with soaring vaulted ceilings and spa-caliber bathrooms — one en-suite bedroom with its own private bath, and two bedrooms sharing a beautiful Jack and Jill bathroom finished in white subway tile, hex mosaic floors, and Carrara marble vanities.

A freestanding soaking tub centered beneath a bay window frames a private mountain view — the kind of bathroom that makes guests rebook their stay.

Primary bedroom fireplace and French doors to pool terrace

The Primary Suite

Wake up to the
mountain every morning

The primary suite occupies its own private wing, entered through a dedicated foyer with a chandelier and the home's signature marble-and-hardwood inlay floor. Inside, the bedroom reaches well over 800 square feet — with a coffered tray ceiling trimmed with mood setting rope lights, a gas fireplace, and wide-plank hardwood floors throughout.

French doors open directly to the pool terrace, with the canyon face rising immediately beyond the property wall — a view that never becomes ordinary.

Primary bath soaking tub in vaulted arch alcove with pool and canyon view

The Primary Bath

A spa in the
shadow of the canyon

The primary bath is a masterclass in scale and material — a soaking tub set beneath a vaulted arch alcove that frames the pool terrace and canyon beyond like a living painting. Opposite, a dramatic oversized shower clad in bookmatched Calacatta marble with a built-in bench and dual shower heads.

Custom slate-grey cabinetry runs the full length of the vanity wall, topped with full-slab marble counters. The adjoining closet — itself the size of a generous room — features a crystal chandelier, floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins, and in-suite washer and dryer.

Professional range beneath arched stone hood with diamond mosaic backsplash

The Chef's Kitchen

A kitchen built for
the serious cook

The kitchen is anchored by a professional 6-burner range with griddle, set beneath a dramatic arched stone hood with a hand-laid diamond mosaic backsplash. Double wall ovens, a panel-front refrigerator, and acres of custom white cabinetry surround an oversized walnut island with honed black granite and a prep sink.

Adjacent, the breakfast nook features its own brick fireplace and opens to the pool terrace, where each day begins with morning coffee and mountain views.

Casita living suite with vaulted ceiling and French doors to pool terrace

The Casita

A complete home
within the estate

The casita is a fully independent residence — not a guest room, but a complete home. A generous bedroom-living suite with soaring vaulted ceilings opens through French doors directly to the pool terrace. Inside: a full kitchen with Viking range, a bath with jetted tub and custom etched glass shower, a walk-in closet, and its own laundry.

For extended family, long-term guests, or live-in staff, this is a space that offers genuine independence while remaining steps from the main house.

Resort pool, fire pit terrace, covered loggia and tennis court with canyon backdrop

Outdoor Living

A private resort
behind the gate

The outdoor spaces are as considered as the interior. A resort-style pool with fountains and spa anchors a vast travertine terrace. A circular fire pit seats a dozen around a glowing fire, with the canyon face rising as the backdrop. A covered loggia with its own fire table extends the living space year-round.

Beyond the terrace, a regulation lighted tennis court with a shaded pavilion is one of the most dramatic court settings in the Valley.
