13906 E Montello Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85262
What's special
This is a one-of-a-kind custom home, bordering the Tonto National Forest, minutes from the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve, surrounded by endless skies, and breathtaking mountain views. This property is the ultimate peaceful retreat. As you step into the great room, a wall of seamless glass opens the space to nature, letting the desert's beauty flow right in. Vaulted ceilings with heavy beams and custom woodwork add warmth and style, while balconies off both the great room and primary bedroom give you the perfect spot to soak in the sunrise or sunset. Up top, a rooftop deck with its own outdoor fireplace invites evenings under the stars. On the main floor, the primary suite offers pure comfort and privacy with a cozy stone fireplace. The kitchen features rich cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and a cozy charm that makes it feel like home. Outside, this rare gem is fully set up for horses or animals with four stalls, a 70x70 turnout, tack room, and feed/storage space, all on a private well. Enjoy hiking, biking, horse-riding on miles of maintained trails in the Preserve, or bring your power toys to enjoy the Tonto National. Cooler temps, clear starry skies, wildlife and great rural country living. This is more than a home, it's a new kind of life. One that's quiet, simple, serene, and completely your own. From the stillness of the desert air to the never-ending views, this is a place where you can truly breathe, live slowly, and find peace every day.
