Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This Spanish-style home, comprising a main house and an independent casita, has everything a large group could need for a memorable stay in Arizona. Making the most of the sunshine is easy here, thanks to the pool, hot tub and terrace for dining or relaxing with a tipple poured at the wet bar. Come evening, there’s nowhere better to unwind than in front of your favourite movie in the cinema room. You’ll need a car if you intend on exploring, though fortunately, golf courses, hiking trails and the heart of Scottsdale are all just a short drive away.
