Welcome to Arrowhead 26, an extremely private, south-facing 4,887 s.f. Great Room plan, furnished custom estate with a winding paved driveway. Stunning modern architectural features throughout. The two expansive living areas offer breathtaking views of Pinnacle Peak, City Lights, Sunsets, and the Continental Mountains. Enjoy the tall stone fireplace, entertainment room, large pool, and covered patio. Pieta limestone floors, three bedrooms, beamed high ceilings and a three-car garage. Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, large central island, and slab granite countertops. Relax in the luxurious master suite with a sitting room, fireplace, and built-in shelving. Golf is a ''big deal'' at Desert Mountain, and full golf Members enjoy six Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf courses; one par-54 course with eighteen par-3s, four practice ranges; and a high-tech teaching and club-fitting facility. Other on-property outdoor recreation opportunities, for all Members include tennis, hiking, swimming, bocce, pickleball, horseback riding, and croquet. Seven clubhouses serve the needs of the Members, including the Sonoran Clubhouse, a truly amazing swim (three pools), tennis (nine courts, including one grass, five Har-Tru, and three cushioned surface hard courts), fitness, and spa facility with a grill restaurant. It enjoyed a $12,000,000 renovation in 2016. The following summer saw six pickleball courts, two bocce ball courts, and a croquet court added. It is now perhaps the premier facility of its type in the Southwest. The Club's nine dining venues offer a wide variety of food, wine, and atmospheres. No coats and ties required! The Club's membership is catered to relentlessly by an attentive staff and Concierge, providing unparalleled service. The place is "phenomenal", so good, three multi-million-dollar lottery winners have chosen Desert Mountain as the place they want to live. As mentioned, membership in the Club is optional, but since the Club is the emotional, physical, and social "core" of the place, the opportunity to be a member of the Club is a significant part of the attraction of living in Desert Mountain for most property owners. Several membership programs exist, available subject to supply and demand and upon successful application to the Club. The Club is very highly regarded within the world of Private Clubs, and there is an ambitious plan in place to update all the Club's major facilities over the next few years in order to provide an even better experience for its Members. Desert Mountain is on the slopes of the Continental Mountain range on the northern edge of Scottsdale, contiguous to the fourth largest National Forest in the country. There is a twenty-mile private trail system in these mountains for exclusive use of Desert Mountain residents. The top elevation is 4,890', highest in all of Maricopa County, affording dramatic views. Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is about a forty-minute drive from the community's Front Gate. Desert Mountain is a place of surpassing scenic beauty with long-range, panoramic views of Phoenix, Scottsdale, the entire "Valley of the Sun", many mountain ranges near and far, and, of course, Arizona's famous sunrises and sunsets! It now has just over 1,900 finished homes ranging in size from 1,800 to over 20,000 square feet with listed properties ranging in price from about $1,300,000 to $16,500,000. Owners have invested over $30,000,000 in individual homes. It has attracted full-and part-time residents from all over North America, Great Britain, and western Europe. Another steady attraction are real estate taxes that are strikingly low compared to many parts of the country, particularly the Northeast, Midwest, and California. (the 2020 taxes on this home were only $7,213). The weather is famously sunny, and our risk of natural disasters is extremely low. Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night and the air is typically much cleaner than what lies over the Valley. For you readers thinking Arizona is too hot in the summer to enjoy year 'round living, this home is at an elevation of about 3,260' making for a fabulous climate twelve-months of the year, given the lack of humidity and the way the desert loses its heat when the sun goes down in the summer. Relative to more local locational concerns, day-to-day shopping needs for Desert Mountain owners are well-handled within about a ten-minute drive by the merchants in the nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek. There are approximately 69 restaurants and bars within about sixteen minutes' drive of Desert Mountain's Front Gate. The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is famous for world-class shopping, major league and collegiate sports, terrific air service (Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is routinely less than a forty-minute drive from the Front Gate), and a wide variety of cultural attractions. Desert Mountain is within two and a half hours of normally excellent snow skiing in Flagstaff. Its location in the southwestern part of the United States affords easy access by air or car to the entire American West, with especially easy access to San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and a plethora of unbelievably beautiful places in Southern Utah. "Paradise" does not overstate it. Scottsdale is also famous for great medical care, with a Mayo Clinic and a separate Mayo Hospital. Thanks for your interest in this home. Against this backdrop of privacy, service, beauty and recreation, Arrowhead 26 represents an unusually nice opportunity and value. We look forward to showing it to you someday and helping you learn about the community, the Club, and the area!
