The Residence | Contemporary Design Framed by 360° Mountain Views
Offered for the first time since its full reimagination in 2020, this 8,368-square-foot single-level hillside estate was engineered for both elevated entertaining and restorative retreat. With no interior steps, it delivers seamless, all-on-one-level living—an extraordinary feature for a mountainside property, especially considering garage can add lifts for 8 cars plus!
Wrapped in expansive view decks, the home captures commanding 360-degree vistas of Camelback Mountain, the iconic Praying Monk, and the surrounding mountain preserve. Indoor and outdoor living converge across multiple gathering spaces—each oriented toward the landscape.
The great room opens to a chef’s kitchen positioned deliberately for mountain views at every turn. A gas cooktop, dual stainless dishwashers, and a generous walk-in pantry anchor the culinary space, while the adjacent formal dining room, wet bar with chiller, and stone wine tasting room elevate hosting to an art form. A private theatre with bath, three distinct living areas, and multiple fireplaces create layered environments for intimate evenings or large-scale entertaining.
The split primary retreat is the visual centerpiece—floor-to-ceiling Camelback views, a fireplace, spa shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, private commode, and two custom closets. An adjacent office or wellness studio opens to a courtyard framing direct views of the Praying Monk—an extraordinary daily backdrop. This room shares a private garden with the primary bedroom sitting area and could also make an ideal nursery for that newborn.
The guest wing offers three ensuite bedrooms. Enter this wing to a spectacular private living room with fireplace, and a door leading to the outdoor firepit conversation area, ensuring comfort and privacy. In addition, there is a separate study (or office) to accomodate this wing of the home. Each bedroom has it's own full bath and each window provides elevated views of the Valley.
A separate one-bedroom guest apartment—with living room, kitchen, bath, and private poolside entry—functions as an independent casita for extended family or long-term guests.
For the automotive enthusiast, the oversize, over-height four-car garage is expandable to accommodate eight or more vehicles—an uncommon feature for any hillside property in Paradise Valley.
Enter onto the large expanded covered wrap-around view deck with fireplace and seating areas. Inside the entertaining spaces include multiple seating areas, an indoor fireplace, dining room, stone-clad wine tasting room, open gourmet kitchen and large theatre-game room with oversized closet adjacent the powder bath. The extra large laundry room features a center island and is sure to become a popular craft room for the household.
This is a home designed with intention: entertainer’s dream, collector’s haven, wellness retreat, and architectural statement—set within one of Paradise Valley’s most unique and walkable enclaves. Open-plan living spaces. Thoughtful restoration. Natural, intentional, and quietly luxurious.
More than a residence. A vantage point. A lifestyle at the intersection of mountain and metropolis.
Mountain Foothills Living | The Camelback Corridor of Paradise Valley

Just steps away is the Valley’s most dynamic new destination—The Global Ambassador—described by Condé Nast as Phoenix’s first chic, cosmopolitan hotel. Adjacent to the state-of-the-art Phoenix Suns and Mercury training facilities, this campus has quickly become a magnet for world-class athletes, restaurateurs, and discerning residents.

For luxury buyers researching relocation destinations such as Naples, Salt Lake City, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Denver and Los Angeles, Paradise Valley, Arizona offers a compelling alternative.
Paradise Valley combines scarce land, strong long-term real estate appreciation, exceptional climate, and proximity to one of the fastest growing metropolitan economies in the United States, and great schools and universities.
Three Exceptional Homes. One Strategic Opportunity. Discover Paradise Valley through three distinct lifestyles – Move-in ready, new construction, and hillside views.
➡️Explore the three Lifestyle homes Paradise Valley Offers:
Located at the center of the Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona, just 15 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport, Paradise Valley sits within the 5th largest metropolitan in the United States and one of the country’s most dynamic economic regions.
Tucked into the foothills of Phoenix Mountains Preserve surrounding Camelback Mountain, Paradise Valley is a 16-square-mile residential community with roughly 12,000 residents occupying just over 5,700 homesites.
Despite its peaceful residential character, residents are only minutes from:
In many ways, Paradise Valley plays a role similar to Los Angeles' Beverly Hills — an exclusive residential enclave inside a major economic center.
However, as compared to other luxury considerations, many discover that Paradise Valley offers larger lots, lower taxes, fewer natural disasters, if any, and a lower overall cost of living.
You know you want to live in Paradise Valley, but the neighborhoods here are VERY different. There are very different neighborhoods with very different lifestyles within Paradise Valley:
- Camelback Country Estates - Cherokee Elementary School
- Paradise Valley's Camelback Corridor near Arcadia and PCDS
- The Jackrabbit Corridor closest to Old Town Scottsdale.
Just last week (March 2026) Team USA Coach and former Major League Baseball All-Star (Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals) Matt Holliday paid $10.6 million for a new build in Paradise Valley.
The Generational Value of Paradise Valley Land
The long-term strength of Paradise Valley real estate is driven by three fundamental economic forces:
Land scarcity, zoning protection, and location.
When the Town of Paradise Valley incorporated in 1961, residents adopted strict planning policies that still define the community today:
• One-acre minimum lot sizes
• Dark sky ordinances
• Limited commercial development
• Strict hillside building regulations
Because of these protections, Paradise Valley contains only about 5,700 homesites across the entire town.
Unlike many rapidly expanding metropolitan areas, the supply of land in Paradise Valley cannot meaningfully increase.
Today this scarcity is reflected in market values:
• Buildable lots typically start around $3M–$3.5M per acre
• Prime hillside view parcels trade significantly higher
• New construction luxury home prices range from $1,300 to $2,400 per square foot
With construction costs frequently exceeding $600 per square foot, purchasing an existing home in the $5M–$6M range can represent a compelling opportunity relative to replacement cost.
For many buyers, this creates what investors describe as generational land equity — ownership of scarce land within a thriving metropolitan region.
Paradise Valley benefits from the economic momentum of the Phoenix metropolitan area, which has become one of the most desirable relocation destinations in the United States.
National publications including the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, U.S. News & World Report continually rank the Phoenix area among the top cities in America for economic growth and relocation. Now known as the nation's tech hub, in March 2026, Forbes announced the 2026-2028 "Under 30" was awarded to the Valley, which speaks volumes regarding the favorable business climate for entrepreneurs.
RECENT MEDIA COVERAGE:
Lower Taxes and Cost of Living
Compared with coastal states such as California or Florida, Arizona offers:

The Phoenix Valley enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually, creating an environment designed for year-round outdoor living.
Activities include:
• championship golf
• hiking and cycling trails
• tennis and pickleball
• equestrian events
• boating and lake recreation
• luxury resort spas
Major international events also attract visitors from around the world, including:
Low Exposure to Natural Disasters
Unlike coastal luxury markets, the Phoenix region experiences very limited exposure to hurricanes, flooding, or major natural disasters, providing both lifestyle stability and long-term insurance advantages.

A Personal Perspective
I purchased my first home in Paradise Valley in 1985, and over the past four decades I have had the privilege of representing buyers and sellers throughout this extraordinary community.
During that time I have watched Paradise Valley evolve into one of the most desirable luxury real estate markets in the United States.
One of the qualities residents value most about Paradise Valley is the exceptional level of municipal services, particularly the professionalism of the Paradise Valley Police Department. The town maintains one of the highest officer-to-resident ratios in the country, contributing to the quiet sense of security that residents appreciate. Remarkably, this level of service is supported in part by the significant tax contributions of the few luxury resort properties that were grandfathered into the town at incorporation, allowing Paradise Valley to provide outstanding services without imposing a special municipal property tax on residents.
For buyers seeking:
• privacy and space
• mountain views and desert beauty
• proximity to a thriving metropolitan economy
• and the long-term value of scarce land
Paradise Valley remains one of the most compelling luxury markets in America.
