WOW - what an opportunity to build your dream home on a fantastic home site located in the sought after Scottsdale/Rio Verde area. Beautiful sunset and mountain views. No HOA! Very close proximity to the McDowell Mountain Preserve.
Desert Mountain, located between Pima Road and the Tonto National Forest boundary, is a gated and golf-oriented Scottsdale neighborhood with rugged boulder-strewn slopes and wide-open Sonoran Desert views. The community’s character concentrates around the Desert Mountain Clubhouse area near N Desert Mountain Parkway, where golf carts, practice greens, and low-slung stone-and-stucco architecture set a quiet, resort-like rhythm. Architectural lines lean Southwestern contemporary, with earth-tone palettes and terraces shaped for sunset-facing outdoor rooms. Trailheads and desert washes frame daily routines with hiking and cycling routes. The nearby Cave Creek–Carefree corridor adds a dose of local flavor through The Boulders Resort, Carefree Desert Gardens, and the Cave Creek Museum. Evenings often center on patios, dark skies, and long sightlines across the high desert.
