About this home
Nestled in Scottsdale's highly sought after Cactus Corridor, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on nearly an acre in a quiet cul-de-sac with no HOA. The versatile floor plan features two primary suites, two spacious living areas, and an oversized flex room perfect for a game room, home gym, media room, or office. Outside, enjoy a private backyard with a heated pool and spa, built-in BBQ, multiple entertaining areas, and stunning McDowell Mountain views. A side entry 3 car garage, RV gate, and abundant surface parking provide plenty of room for an RV, boat, trailer, and all your recreational toys.
Desert Hills, located between Pima Road and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, is a low-density and equestrian-friendly Scottsdale neighborhood with wide desert lots and dark-sky views. The scene concentrates around the Pima Road & Dynamite Boulevard corridor, where trailhead traffic, tack shops, and local cafés set a practical, outdoors-first rhythm. Custom ranch homes and contemporary desert builds sit behind natural washes, with streets that often trade curbs for gravel shoulders. The nearby preserve defines daily routines with long, quiet miles of singletrack and broad mountain horizons. Local staples like Pinnacle Peak General Store, The Living Room Wine Café & Lounge, and Taliesin West add a distinctly Scottsdale mix of old-road character, social patios, and design history.
