Description

Nestled in the heart of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve with commanding views of Piestewa Peak, this custom designed hacienda is a true desert sanctuary. Set on an expansive lot and surrounded by artful botanical landscaping created by Desert Botanical Garden consultant Rilee LeBlanc, also known as The Cactus Doctor, this home offers a rare blend of sophistication, serenity, and natural beauty. Original artwork by renowned artist Pachi Longstreth welcomes you at the entry, setting the tone for the character and craftsmanship found throughout. Inside, you will find soaring 9 foot ceilings, a cozy wood burning fireplace, and a harmonious mix of Salito tile and wood flooring that echo the warmth of the desert palette.

Supplements: The kitchen is both elegant and functional, with gleaming marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, under cabinet lighting, and a large industrial refrigerator. The primary suite is a true retreat featuring its own fireplace, custom closet and interior doors, and private access to the outdoor living spaces. This home blends character with thoughtful updates. A salt water pool was completely redone in 2024, and major system upgrades include a new subpanel in 2020, roof resurfaced in 2021, and Tesla charger added in 2021. Comfort is maximized with new AC units for both the master bedroom and office installed in 2022. The property features three water heaters, a mix of gas and electric, with one replaced in 2024 and the casita unit updated in 2021. Step outside to experience seamless indoor and outdoor living. Misting systems cool the shaded patios, a rooftop observation deck with a glass bar offers 360 degree mountain views, and a self filling fountain sets the tone for tranquil evenings under the stars. An outdoor shower, citrus trees, iron detailing on windows and gates, and a pergola framed fountain area add to the home's curated charm. Additional highlights include an EV charger, pebble driveway, paver walkways, and a detached casita with its own sitting area, bedroom with outdoor access, and a bathroom featuring a luxurious stone shower.This is not just a home. It is a living work of art designed for the discerning buyer seeking luxury, privacy, and an immersive desert lifestyle.
