Mountain View Retreat

Welcome to the Arizona escape you've been dreaming of.

Nestled on 1.5 private acres in the heart of North Scottsdale, Mountain View Retreat offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, and luxury without sacrificing
convenience. Wake up to unobstructed views of the McDowell Mountains, spend your days exploring world-class golf courses and hiking trails, then return to your own private resort where the only sounds are the gentle desert breeze and the splash of your heated pool.

This newly remodeled 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom estate isn't just a place to stay. It's the centerpiece of an unforgettable Arizona experience.

A Home Designed for Living

Step through the front door and feel the tension leave your shoulders. Soaring ceilings and walls of windows flood the open-concept living space with natural light while framing those iconic mountain views you came here to see. The design seamlessly blends contemporary sophistication with warm Southwest touches—think clean lines, natural stone, and a color palette inspired by the Sonoran Desert itself.

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the chef's kitchen, and it will take your breath away. Exotic Brazilian quartzite countertops stretch across the massive island, providing the perfect gathering spot whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying morning coffee with the family. Professional-grade Café appliances stand ready for everything from a quick breakfast to an elaborate multi-course meal. The fully stocked kitchen includes everything a serious cook could want. Quality cookware, sharp knives, and all the small appliances that make vacation cooking a pleasure rather than a chore.

But here's what sets Mountain View Retreat apart: there's room for everyone to spread out.

Five distinct bedrooms mean no one is fighting over space. The downstairs master suite offers a spa-like bathroom that will make you never want to leave. Upstairs, a second master provides a private retreat with its own luxurious bath. The bunk room is a hit with kids (and kids at heart), while additional bedrooms provide peaceful escapes for guests who value their privacy.

Beyond the Bedrooms

This isn't a house where everyone crowds into one room. The dedicated game room features a regulation pool table and plenty of seating for movie nights or watching the big game on the large-screen TV. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the private workout room. No need to hunt for a gym or skip your routine. And if you want more iron, there is a full gym right across the street. And for those who can't completely unplug, a quiet home office provides a professional space for video calls or catching up on email.

Four full bathrooms, each one thoughtfully designed with premium finishes, means no waiting, no scheduling, no compromises. This is vacationing the way it should be.

Your Private Outdoor Oasis

Now let's talk about why you really came to Arizona: that legendary outdoor lifestyle.

The backyard at Mountain View Retreat is nothing short of spectacular. Your private pool sparkles in the desert sun, perfect for morning laps or afternoon lounging. As evening approaches, watch the sky turn pink and orange over the McDowells. A nightly show that never gets old.

The covered patio creates an outdoor living room that you'll never want to leave. Comfortable seating, outdoor dining for the whole group, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill mean you can spend entire days outside without missing a thing. The kids can run free on 1.5 acres of fenced property while you relax knowing they're safe and contained.

As the stars emerge — and in the clear desert air, you'll see thousands of them — gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stories. This is the Arizona experience you've been imagining.

Location: The Best of Both Worlds

Here's the secret that makes Mountain View Retreat truly special: you're minutes from everything Scottsdale has to offer, yet you feel worlds away.

For golfers, you've hit the jackpot. Over 200 courses lie within a 30-minute drive, including legendary names like TPC Scottsdale (home of the "Greatest Show on Grass"), Troon North, Grayhawk, and We-Ko-Pa. Whether you're a scratch golfer or a weekend warrior, the options are endless.

For hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, one of the largest urban wilderness areas in the country, is practically in your backyard. Miles of trails wind through pristine desert landscape, from easy morning walks to challenging summit hikes with panoramic views. Mountain bikers will find world-class singletrack just minutes away. And yes, those saguaro-studded hills you see from the pool? You can be hiking among them in fifteen minutes.

For food, shopping, and nightlife, Old Town Scottsdale delivers. This vibrant district offers everything from James Beard-nominated restaurants to casual taco joints, high-end boutiques to Native American art galleries, craft cocktail bars to live music venues. It's a short drive away: close enough to enjoy, far enough that you return to peace and quiet.

The Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons put upscale shopping and dining even closer. Catch a movie, browse designer stores, or simply people-watch with a glass of wine on a sunny patio.
