This custom homesite will delight those who seek dramatic unencumbered panoramic mountain, golf course, and High Sonoran Desert views. 6.92 acres with a huge 30,925 square foot building envelope. Look in the Documents section for a conceptual plan drawn by Architect Terry Kilbane. Located in prestigious Desert Mountain, home to the Desert Mountain Club, featuring seven golf courses, nine private restaurants or grills, a state-of-the-art golf performance center, a twenty-mile private hiking trail system, and seven major clubhouses. One of them, the Sonoran Clubhouse, had a $12,000,000 renovation completed in late 2016, and then added six pickleball courts, two golf croquet courts, and two bocce courts the next summer. An Equity Golf Membership in the Club is not included, but available. Living in Desert Mountain provides very convenient access to the facilities of The Desert Mountain Club, an established, twenty-eight year-old, private club owned and governed by its Members, with a long list of amenities including six Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses (along with four very well-designed golf practice ranges), six clubhouses with eight restaurants, one of the best golf performance centers in the country for swing analysis, lessons, golf club fitting, and golf club repairs; and horseback riding on a fifteen-mile long trail system located in and on top of the Continental Mountains at the rear of the 8,200 acre community (the trail system is an amenity for all Desert Mountain residents, not just Club Members). These trails rise to over 4,000' and provide astonishing views many miles in all directions.

One of the Clubhouses, the Sonoran Clubhouse, is the Club's swim, tennis, fitness and spa facility. A $12,000,000 expansion and renovation of that facility was completed in October, 2016 to much acclaim. Since then, six pickleball courts have been added, along with a golf croquet court and a bocce ball court. It is now a remarkable amenity, adding tremendous value and enjoyment to the community's Club Member residents. Membership to the Club is not included in the purchase price of this lot, but they are available upon application to The Club.

Desert Mountain is in the foothills of the Continental Mountains in north Scottsdale. The Front Gate of the community is typically an easy forty minute drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek provide most of the shopping Desert Mountain residents need within about a ten minute drive of the Front Gate. Over the years, Desert Mountain has attracted people from all over the United States and Canada, plus a few from the UK and Germany. It is an extraordinarily notable community of its type, if not unique in the entire United States, and deserves thorough evaluation by anyone looking for a gated community lifestyle in Arizona.
