Supplements
Rich hickory cabinetry, alder doors, and a chef-inspired kitchen with an oversized pantry provide both style and function. The spacious floor plan offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and walk-in closets in every room.
The primary suite is designed as a private retreat, featuring dual sinks, an oversized walk-in shower with two separate shower heads, and dual private water closet rooms for added comfort and convenience.
A detached 1,217 sq. ft. casita expands the possibilities with an additional bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guest accommodations, a private retreat, a creative workspace, or potential income-producing rental.
The expansive grounds offer room to roam, with space for outdoor recreation, equestrian possibilities, and plenty of privacy to enjoy the surrounding desert landscape. A large circular drive provides a welcoming arrival experience and generous parking for guests.
At approximately 3,400 feet in elevation, Tonto Hills enjoys temperatures often 10-15 degrees cooler than downtown Phoenix while remaining just 50 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport. The nearby towns of Cave Creek, Carefree, and Scottsdale offer renowned golf, dining, shopping, and entertainment.
Bartlett Lake is only 15 miles away for boating, fishing, and lakeside dining, while miles of nearby trails invite exploration of the surrounding desert terrain.
This is more than a home--it's a private desert retreat offering space, tranquility, and the kind of lifestyle that feels like a permanent getaway.
