13954 E Carefree Highway, Scottsdale, AZ 85262
What's special
Custom home on a hard to find 3+ acres on the corner of 140th St and Carefree Hwy! Whether you're dreaming of a luxurious retreat, multigenerational living (501sqft casita), or an exceptional horse property, this property offers endless possibilities. Wake each morning to sweeping mountain views, iconic saguaros, and endless desert skies, all without the restrictions of an HOA. Inside, the home unfolds with intention. The chef's kitchen anchors it all: a 6-burner + griddle cooktop, stainless steel appliances, a copper sink, custom cabinetry, granite counters, and an oversized island. A wine room sits just off the expansive formal dining room, a bar with beverage fridge stands ready for hosting, and a dedicated office plus a bonus flex/game room give the floor plan room to breathe. The primary suite goes further still, with its own exercise/multipurpose room and a coffee/bonus bar tucked inside. Every bedroom is generously sized with a full bathroom attached, and no interior steps means the whole home flows on one level. Three grand fireplaces, custom travertine and wood floors, soaring ceilings, and luxury finishes throughout carry the same level of intention into every room. Step outside onto roughly 2,000 +/- SF of covered patio opens to breathtaking views, a heated pool, a top-of-the-line HotSprings above-ground heated spa with a custom privacy screen, and a built-in BBQ. Resort-style outdoor living without leaving home. A custom-built cantina, outdoor shower, and dedicated pool bathroom round out the space, and a second-story view deck frames the mountain ranges in full. The front courtyard centers around a grand stone fireplace with plenty of room to host under the stars, and just off it sits a 501 SF detached casita with its own kitchenette -- ideal for guests, extended family, or a potential STR opportunity. EPCOR Water Approved. Horses allowed. No HOA. 3 total acres. This property provides trail access to Scottsdale Preserve and Tonto National Forest, just minutes away, perfect for outdoor hiking, biking, off-roading, or just spending time adventuring in the desert.
