From Carefree to Scottsdale, Arizona is home to some pretty impressive residences. Late basketball star Kobe Bryant hooped it up at a $23.5 million pad with an indoor basketball facility, while a $15 million eco-friendly home sits on 22 acres. And, over in Paradise Valley, a compound estate just hit the market for $9.5 million, and one of its amenities is sure to excite car lovers and collectors alike.
Built in 2007, the double-gated residence in Paradise Valley, at 5555 North Camino del Contento, features a main house with a three-car garage and a guest casita, and temperature-controlled showroom garage for eight or more of your favorite rides. Both structures sit atop more than 2.5 acres where desert landscaping and jaw-dropping views of Camelback Mountain come into focus.

Five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three fireplaces are spread across the abode’s nearly 7,500 square feet, alongside entertaining amenities. The Maricopa County home, last sold for $3.8 million in 2018, according to property records, is listed with Cionne McCarthy of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
A copper-clad exterior punctuates the main residence’s contemporary design. Beyond the attached three-car garage and discreet front door, Douglas fir wood ceilings and glossy concrete floors encapsulate the main living area. Skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows fill its sunken lounge adjoining the dining area with natural light, next to a striking monolithic 24-inch-thick rammed earth wall.

Those organic materials spill over into the gourmet kitchen that’s equipped with high-end appliances and a center island with breakfast bar seating. A floating staircase leads up to the second floor, where sloped ceilings and windows enhance the home’s character, not to mention frame stellar views of the mountainous landscape. In addition to a tall wall of glass, the primary suite includes lounge areas, offices, and balconies. Three more bedrooms, as well as the gym and family room, are within another wing of the house on the main floor.

Indoor amenities include a gym and a golf simulation room, but expansive patios, one with an outdoor fireplace and another with a fire pit, are ideal for hosting larger groups. There’s also a heated pool and spa, a one-bedroom, one-bath guest casita with a kitchenette and, of course, the showroom garage, which is set at a distance from the house with another kitchenette and bathroom.
