About This Home

Welcome to Desert Highlands #1! The Epitome of Multigenerational Resort-Style Living. This extraordinary estate, nestled on a sprawling 2.6 acre private cul-de-sac homesite, offers IMMEDIATE full Club membership, providing you with access to a wealth of exclusive amenities.

Step onto the pavered, circular drive, and you'll be greeted by a private garden courtyard with lush landscapes, setting the tone for the remarkable lifestyle that awaits. This home underwent a remarkable $6 million total re-imagination in 2019, resulting in a smart, transitional luxury masterpiece. Every detail meticulously curated, and no expense spared to create this stunning residence.

Inside the main home, you'll find an array of sophisticated spaces, perfect for hosting large gatherings, as well as comfortable, light-filled areas for casual everyday living. The state-of-the-art features and top-of-the-line finishes make this home truly exceptional. A remarkable value, priced well below pre-listing appraisal.

The first level of the main home boasts a formal living room, elegant dining room, four of the five en suite bedrooms, a spacious office, media room, and not one, but two wine cellars. The fifth guest ensuite (on the 2nd level) opens to a private deck featuring down valley views.

The chef's kitchen is a delight with upgraded appliances, oversized Sub Zero refrigerator, a Wolf range with six burners and multiple ovens. And let's not forget the Miele built-in plumbed coffee system to kickstart your day in the best way possible. The custom furniture grade cabinetry is not only abundant but exquisitely topped with gorgeous Matterhorn granite, adding to the allure of the kitchen.

From the kitchen, you'll find seamless transitions to the light and airy breakfast room and inviting family room, with telescoping glass sliding doors leading to multiple extended covered patios and private gardens, offering magnificent views from every angle.

As you explore further, you'll discover the private primary suite, occupying the south wing of the main level. This luxurious oasis features a relaxing sitting area, direct patio access to the pool and spa, and a resort-inspired bath retreat with mesmerizing mountain views from the spectacular blue marble topped jetted tub. Dual custom vanities, water closets, and a generously sized shower with multiple heads complete this lavish bathroom, along with dual custom walk-in closets.

On the other side of the home, beyond the 50' gallery, Desert Highlands #1 offers a large and spacious casita. Thoughtfully designed with privacy in mins, its single-level layout ensures easy accessibility for those who prefer a step-free environment. The casita features its own private courtyard entrance, allowing guests to come and go as they please without intruding on the main living areas. The well-appointed guest casita offers tranquil living space, a full Wolf/Sub Zero kitchen, two en suite bedrooms with personal patios, private laundry room and an attached garage.

Beyond the diving pool, a true entertainer's paradise awaits with a 2,576 square foot fun-filled cabana. This vibrant space boasts a full-sized kitchen, a massive wet bar, four wall-mounted TVs, and game room . The cabana opens up to the pool area with automated telescoping sliding windows, overlooking the swim-up bar. And for a unique experience, the "Dive-In movie screen" is stored above the swim-up bar, allowing you to enjoy your favorite films while relaxing in the pool.

The primary home, guest casita, cabana, and ramada seamlessly encircle the backyard retreat, creating a completely private oasis. The outdoor living space is unlike any other, featuring an expansive heated pool, spa, three gas fire pits, two waterfalls, misters under the ramada for added comfort, a water slide, custom outdoor kitchen and a swim-up bar! You can also indulge in a huge conditioned gymnastics space, complete with a trampoline, tumble track, and foam pit, complemented by a convenient full bathroom.

The home is fully automated with Control 4 technology, offering modern convenience in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. For the car enthusiasts, there is a possibility of 12+ parking to accommodate your prized collection.

Desert Highlands Golf Club, a private guard-gated community, provides an idyllic setting for this exceptional estate. As a resident, you'll have access to an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course, a Gary Panks designed 18-hole putting course, a 7,700 sq. ft. state-of-the-art fitness center, 13 tennis courts with various surfaces, pickle ball courts, fishing pond, dog park, and a meandering walking/biking path throughout the community. After enjoying these amenities, unwind at Jack's Pub or indulge in formal dining at the Ventana Dining room.

Welcome to your new home at Desert Highlands #1, where the possibilities for luxury living and unforgettable experiences are endless.
