Six Key Reasons You’ll Want to Work With a Real Estate Agent When Pricing Your Home

Spectacular, golf course fronting, 6,297 square-foot, two-year-old, Contemporary-styled ultra-high-end, great room plan home with excellent golf and nearby mountain views, offered in prestigious Desert Mountain, in north Scottsdale, AZ. Desert Mountain is a mature, guard-gated, thirty-eight-year-old golf and outdoor recreation-oriented development set in the foothills of the Continental Mountains north of Phoenix with the private Desert Mountain Club a central attraction. Membership to the Club is by application, and the seller's sought after full privilege Golf Membership is available to the home's purchaser via a separate transaction with the Club, avoiding a long waitlist (see below for important details). This home, in the newest Desert Mountain village known as ''Seven'', is within easy walking distance of one of the Club's eight clubhouses, and the first tee of one of its seven golf courses. This one is an eighteen-hole, par-54 course (rated for handicap purposes) that is easy to walk. The dining venue at the Seven Clubhouse is an indoor/outdoor affair with a very casual atmosphere. Sort of a sports bar atmosphere and lively all the time, especially since it has a couple of excellent bocce courts, a very well-supported activity in Desert Mountain. The home was built by very highly regarded regional builder, Cullum Homes, known for durability and high-quality workmanship, appliances, systems, materials and finishes, not to mention forward-thinking design. These original owners selected what may be the premier site in Seven, with a larger yard, only one neighbor, and most importantly, protected, wonderful permanent, northerly views of the Continental Mountains, just four miles away, across the thirteenth hole of the Club's Renegade Golf Course. Cart path traffic is hard to hear at a distance of about eighty yards, and being on the thirteenth hole means golfers will be well past the home at twilight, helping ensure a very peaceful environment at that time of day. The home features four bedrooms, an office, a three-car garage with storage, and exceptional outdoor relaxation and entertainment areas. No expense was spared as the owners, long-time Desert Mountain owners and Club members, completed their dream home with over $1.2 million spent on upgrades, which you'll note from the jaw-dropping countertop stone selections, textured backsplashes, to hand selected custom fixtures and lighting. The home is particularly well-suited to the display of art, hanging or otherwise. The floor plan was customized to maximize the views and the setting. Walls of glass line the great room, bringing the outdoors inside and providing a picturesque scene from the kitchen, living, and dining areas. With a northerly exposure, you never have to worry about having to control harsh direct sunlight, and the amount of light coming into the home means a good balance between interior and outdoor light levels. The upstairs was expanded and converted to a spacious lounge with a full rooftop view deck. More on these later as we take the tour. Now let's take the guided tour! Approaching the home, follow the entryway path beyond the pristine, low-maintenance desert landscaping. Step through the secured courtyard gate, and the stunning mountain views will immediately take stage. Inside, the home begins with the great room, where tall, gently sloping ceilings create a grand yet comfortable space. The gas fireplace surrounded by natural stacked stone provides a gorgeous accent wall, and the wet bar with icemaker and lighted 200+ wine cellar make this the perfect setting for a dinner party. The open kitchen features eye-catching quartzite countertops topping neutral shaker cabinets custom built by Distinctive Cabinetry. A complete gourmet appliance package includes two Wolf ovens, combo microwave/convection oven, gas range, dishwasher, and Miele coffee maker, along with 72 refrigerator plus two additional refrigerator drawers in the island. There is plenty of storage in the abundant cabinet space, along with the 108sf pantry. The dining room has two full walls of windows; imagine the ambiance of al fresco dining in the comfort of your own home! The spaciousness of the great room continues in the primary bedroom, with full-length windows and glass sliding glass door framing the golf course and mountain views, clerestory windows for natural light, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The primary bathroom exudes both luxury and tranquility, with His 'N Hers floating vanities, topped by the same beautiful quartzite countertops found in the kitchen, which you'll also find as the bench in the walk-in shower. The massive walk-in closet is intelligently laid out, providing the option for His 'N Her sections, but without a definite division, allowing for flexibility. Here you'll also find a secret passthrough to the laundry room, which is extremely convenient! Even the laundry room is upgraded, with a full wall of cabinets, extra refrigerator, sink area with tile backsplash, and access to the side yard with enclosed fencing for your pets. The main level features two large guest suites tucked away, providing privacy for your guests. Each suite contains an attractively upgraded ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. There is also an impressively styled half bathroom for dinner guests. Use either the elevator or the wide staircase to head upstairs. At the top of which, you'll find a space completely reimagined during construction to provide an unforgettable entertaining experience. Big-screen television, plenty of room for guests to sit or mingle. A full bar, where underlit onyx countertops will attract your attention. Icemaker, wine fridge, and two refrigerator drawers. Architecturally interesting ceilings give this space a fun twist, and double-sliding doors capture those soothing mountain views, while providing access to the rooftop deck overlooking the golf course. Completing the upstairs space, don't miss the office with extensive built-ins, an additional half bathroom, and another guest suite with full ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. And last but certainly not least, the backyard! Step through the living room's full-wall sliding glass doors to the spacious patio. Here you'll find more than enough space for both seating and dining areas, topped by a ceiling fan and two built-in heaters, making this a comfortable retreat any time of year. Just outside the patio is the built-in BBQ with large countertop prep space, plus storage and lighting. Take a dip in the infinity edge pool, relax in the hot tub, or pull up a chaise lounge on the pool's large Baja step to take in some sun. As evening approaches, have a seat by the firepit and watch the magic as sunset turns the mountains from purple to fiery pink, followed by the starry night sky. This idyllic scene can be yours to enjoy every day! More on the Club membership... The separate transaction mentioned above involves paying the Club an initiation fee (currently $200,000 for the full Golf Membership). Please note that some level of club membership is required for all homeowners in Seven. Call the Club for details. All memberships include access to all the Clubhouses, including: the Sonoran Clubhouse (featuring premier quality swimming, tennis, fitness (equipment, classes, personal trainers, yoga, etc., pickleball, bocce, spa, and croquet), and all ten dining venues. Golf Members alone have full access to all seven courses and four practice ranges. Property owners have access to the amazing Bark Park (essentially a country club for dogs) and the over twenty miles of wonderful hiking/biking trails in the mountains at the back of the property. Considerable recent and ongoing investment is keeping Club facilities state-of-the-art, funded out of general funds, not through assessments. How close is it to what you want and need? Five minutes to excellent shopping and nightlife in Carefree and Cave Creek. Thirty minutes to Scottsdale Airpark, or less than an hour to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Two hours to Flagstaff (snow skiing), or continue north to the Grand Canyon or Lake Powell. Four and half hours to Las Vegas, six to Newport Beach. Desert Mountain is an 8,200 acre, gated, master-planned community with about 2,000 homes and about 200 homesites yet to be built upon. It is in a noticeably quiet, serene, safe (manned entry gates; security patrols), secure and beautiful location, spread east to west across the foothills of the Continental Mountains in the High Sonoran Desert on the northern edge of Scottsdale, with homes at elevations ranging from 2,600' to 3,500' ASL. The Tonto National Forest (fourth largest in the country), borders the community to the north. Desert Mountain has enjoyed significant success over the years. Buyers have come from all states and worldwide, but especially from California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and the Upper Midwest. Most owners are Club Members, and virtually all of them seem to have made socializing and having fun a key priority. Another positive is real estate taxes strikingly lower than many places in the Northeast, Midwest, or West Coast. (2023 taxes on this home were only $7,548). Demand for homes has remained strong. Desert Mountain's weather is famously dry and sunny. Our risk of natural disasters is extremely low. Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night, the air typically much cleaner, and the daytime high temperatures can be about ten degrees cooler than the Valley floor, every day of the year. Summers are very enjoyable since it only gets over 100 degrees only about ten or twelve days a year here, compared to ninety days at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, with low humidity. At night in the summer, the temperatures drop fifteen to twenty degrees, a significant difference from life on the Valley floor. You would be amazed how comfortable 95 degrees is at night or in the shade. So, being in Desert Mountain on a year 'round basis is an attractive proposition. In addition to the foregoing, the owner of this home will be close to major league and collegiate sports, fabulous medical care (including the Mayo Clinic and hospital), terrific air service, and a wide variety of cultural attractions. Paradise does not overstate what Desert Mountain is for the people who get to live here. Thanks for your time. If this home and Desert Mountain sound like a possible fit for you, come take a look!
