Since it was incorporated into a city in the early 1960s, Arizona’s Paradise Valley has become a favored enclave for wealthy residents and snowbirds with a penchant for low taxes, temperate winters, and trophy homes. A brand-new home in the affluent desert enclave proves why the Phoenix suburb is one of the hottest real estate markets in the Grand Canyon State.
The sleekly modern estate, courtesy of Ty Harrison Architecture, sits at the base of the iconic Camelback Mountain, its name derived from its distinct shape resembling a kneeling dromedary. Sitting on just over an acre of land and spanning more than 7,000 square feet, the residence makes the most of indoor-outdoor living with automated glass pocket doors throughout that open with just the touch of a button. The resort-style yard, meanwhile, includes a sexy, black-finished pool that reflects the surrounding desert landscape. And don’t worry, there are plenty of patio misters to keep you cool during the hot, dry summers.
Custom walnut cabinetry adds a warm, natural material to the crisply contemporary home.

The chef’s kitchen anchors the open-plan living area. Burdette custom walnut cabinetry is paired with Taj Mahal quartzite counters and a 15-foot waterfall island. Just off the dining area, there’s enclosed wine storage and a bar where you can mix up drinks for your guests. Imported Italian porcelain tile floors spread over to the living room, where a full-wall fireplace keeps you warm and cozy.
Four ensuite bedrooms are complemented by two additional bathrooms, while the main bedroom is decked out with Swedish walnut flooring, a hydraulic safe for storing valuables, and dual closets with laundering machines. A plunge pool with a Baja shelf for the homeowners’ private use sits just outside. Elsewhere is a glass-walled executive office and a wellness suite with a gym, massage room, and cold plunge.
Misters around the pool mean you can enjoy the courtyard even during hot, dry summers.

Beyond the homeowners’ private pool, there’s a large L-shaped main pool sporting an infinity-edge spa and submerged bar seating where you can swim right up to the outdoor lounge area and enjoy a drink or snack with your landlubbing guests. There’s also a sunken fire-lit lounge, a Zen garden, and a multi-sport court that can be used for tennis, basketball, or pickleball.
With a price tag of $13.5 million, the property is available through Maximilian de Melo and Patrick Niederdrenk at America One Luxury Real Estate.
