Property Description
Thoughtfully designed for both elevated entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home offers a desirable and dynamic layout. The primary suite is privately situated on the upper level opening to breathtaking valley, city-light, and mountain views--creating a serene retreat that feels both elevated and connected to the surrounding landscape. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are located on the main level, along with a separate guest house on the property, providing ideal accommodations for family and guests.
At the heart of the home, a truly exceptional commercial-grade kitchen caters to the culinary enthusiast, featuring top-tier Montague appliances, infrared gas broilers, a French hot top with wok ring, six-burner configuration, and three ovens. A striking horseshoe bar seamlessly connects the kitchen and main living spaces, enhancing the home's natural flow and creating an inviting environment for gathering and entertaining. A 1,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar further elevates the experience.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living is showcased through a beautiful Arizona room that opens to expansive desert and city views beyond. Throughout the home, richly layered finishes include custom beamed ceilings, domed brickwork, and extensive stone elements--remarkably sourced directly from the property itself--creating an authentic connection to the surrounding McDowell Mountain terrain.
The grounds are equally captivating, featuring seven fireplaces, two fire pits, and a stunning heated all-tile pool and spa designed for both relaxation and recreation. The approximately 9.5-foot diving pool is complemented by a sculptural, custom-designed diving feature, while an intriguing fire feature at the entry gate creates a dramatic and memorable arrival. A sunken, lighted tennis court--recently refurbished and thoughtfully designed for both tennis and pickleball--adds to the estate's exceptional recreational offerings.
Car enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive 13-car garage capacity, highlighted by a show-stopping nine-car showcase garage complete with a modular kitchen and extensive storage, creating a truly unique space for display, entertaining, and functionality. Private, distinctive, and masterfully crafted, Desert Tears is a rare Scottsdale estate that blends architectural soul, natural beauty, and exceptional livability into an offering of uncommon significance.
