About this home

Welcome to a boutique resort that happens to be a private residence. This is your own five-star retreat, built for one household rather than a crowd. A cantilevered shade structure floats above the pool, deep blue water mirroring the house, sky, and surrounding landscape by day. After dark, fiber-optic lighting transforms the sun shelf and spa into a field of constellations, more Cabo than Scottsdale. The wellness component is ever present here: the pool and spa run on an Aquadei nanobubble system, infusing the water with ozone to cut chlorine use to a fraction of a standard pool, gentler on skin, eyes, and equipment. Featured in Phoenix Home & Garden, the backyard was designed by Kirk Bianchi, one of the Southwest's most recognized landscape designers, and includes a spa he named the... The Vortex, anchored by a mural-covered outdoor bar created in collaboration with Scottsdale artist Leila Parnian. That same artistic eye greets you before you're even inside: a striking, whimsical palm-shaped sculpture stands at the entrance, alongside art collected over years, glass sculptures found at art fairs, stone carvings from rural Mesa. Homes like this rarely come to market. The current owners have also transformed the prior Junior master suite into a wellness retreat, anchored by a professionally built out gym with a sensory deprivation tank. Five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms include a primary suite, an office, a wine cellar, an attached casita with full bathroom and kitchenette. A roof deck with stellar mountain and sunset views along with a fire feature. The finished lower level adds a fifth bedroom, a home theater, a game room, and a wet bar. You're minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale Fashion Square, world-class dining, luxury resorts, art galleries, golf, and hiking trails. This backyard is collector-grade, and it shows in every detail.
