Guard Gated. Immediate Social/Golf Membership. Rare opportunity to own a truly spectacular estate in North Scottsdale. Just under 3 acres with Total Privacy, this Spanish Revival estate feels imported from 1928 Montecito. Inspired by Wallace Neff, in the prestigious Desert Highlands golf community, this is architecture with presence. Built by Nance Construction with custom ironwork by Peter Sevin, every hand-plastered wall, beam, and arch was crafted with intention. Step inside to hand crafted Portuguese ebony walnut floors and limestone warming every room. The library, wrapped in Georgia sugar pine millwork, doubles as a private screening room with its own wet bar. The two-story kitchen is a chef's dream: anchored by a La Cornue range, framed by soapstone countertops, a massive butcher-block island, Thermador grill, and glass-door Traulsen refrigeration. Upstairs feels like its own private retreat with a separate entrance, 2 oversized guest rooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets, and an intimate covered terrace offering sweeping desert and city-light views. The primary bedroom is pure romance -- stone fireplace, French doors opening to a private patio, his/her boutique closets, and a marble-wrapped bath designed for lingering mornings. The detached casita mirrors the main home's craftsmanship, complete with its own kitchen featuring a Gaggenau cooktop, covered patio and parking spaces. Outside, Santa Barbara-designed landscaping by Trademark Landscape (as featured in Phoenix Home & Garden magazine), a sparkling mosaic-tiled pool and cabana, multiple fountains and fireplaces, pristine lawn spaces and flower gardens -- all framing dramatic Pinnacle Peak views. Three butler's pantries and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen make it impressively ready for large-scale entertaining! Additional highlights include a new roof and newer HVAC systems, fully automated smart-home lighting and sound, a 4-car garage plus extensive guest parking, and abundant dining and living areas throughout the grounds. Nearby hiking, fine dining, shopping, and world-class golf opportunities are available immediately. Desert Highlands amenities include a Jack Nicklaus Signature championship golf course, 18-hole putting course, award winning clubhouse, state of the art fitness center, Highlands Racquet Club featuring grass, clay, and pickleball courts, etc. If you understand the value of Legacy Architecture and are ready to indulge in Luxury Lifestyle Living, this is a masterpiece that must be experienced in person.
