If you know real estate, then you know it’s all about location, location, location, and if you know anything about Phoenix real estate, then you know that also means mountains, mountains, mountains!

Nestled into a hillside setting at the west end of Mummy Mountain, Paradise Mountain Preserve proves that location indeed rules. Vistas from every angle of mountains both near and far, provide both a certain privacy, and even entertainment due to the indigenous visitors that live in the mountains. Occasional sightings of lone Coyotes, or the fabled Javelina, along with Raccoon, Bobcat, and yes of course other noted desert denizens, prove that this is indeed still a desert!

The ascending drive approaches the front entry which itself has a stunning view, as does every patio and window. Brilliant Bougainvillea frames the three-car garage, and a lone Saguaro greats you at the entrance along with the Zen-like fountain. Extensive use of brick, stone, tile and stucco have created a natural appearance that lends a camouflaging effect to the entire property. The entire rear of the property climbs the mountainside creating a canyon grotto effect surrounding the pool and elevated Jacuzzi, and the accompanying waterfall. Just beyond the backyard space, a trailhead starts which takes you on a hike through the rugged terrain.

A home of many levels both inside and out, you will find yourself discovering new views and delights around every turn. Old world touches truly provide the look and feel to every stone or tile-covered surface. A muted tone provides a gentle and soothing backdrop, as the real show here is the outdoor spaces surrounding the property. A split lower level provides access to the garage for catering, and the other side provides access to the private home theater which seats up to 10, and also stores a Murphy bed!  On the main level, a large professional kitchen space looks out to the pool grotto. Up another level is a quiet living room area, and access to three of the bedrooms, and up yet another level is entrance to the den and the elegant master bedroom with a grand his and hers closet.

A delightful location for a short or long-term stay, or a small corporate gathering, you will never forget the abundant views from every level, both inside and out.
