25002 N QUAIL HAVEN Drive, Rio Verde, AZ 85263
What's special
A Rare Private Retreat Set against the desert and bordering a mountain preserve, this estate invites a sense of calm that lingers. Inside the gated grounds, a hidden sanctuary unfolds lush, private, and entirely unexpected. Positioned on two expansive corner parcels, the 6,868 SF residence is enclosed by an elegant perimeter walled fence with a gated entry enclosing a private circular drive, offering true seclusion and a refined sense of arrival. The estate is meticulously curated with rich native vegetation, featuring towering cacti, sculptural agaves, and jewel-toned succulents that transform the desert into a refined, resort-style landscape. A tranquil water feature with a solid stone bridge serves as a striking architectural focal point, while professionally designed landscape lighting by a world-renowned lighting designer adds depth, drama, and enhanced privacy after dark. Ideal for both grand entertaining and quiet retreat, the residence offers 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, including three private primary suites, seven patios, and a well-appointed detached guest casita for extended guest stays or multigenerational living with privacy in mind. An indoor pool and spa within a 2,500 sq ft pool house provides year-round enjoyment. The home is single-level, complemented by a sky deck offering elevated views of the McDowell Mountains, accessed by private elevator or stairways for easy enjoyment by all. Four fireplaces located in the living room & three primary suites with one outdoor fireplace and a fire pit add warmth and architectural distinction throughout. Custom details define the residence, including refined solid-wood Dutch doors and a thoughtfully integrated indoor dog wash station, reflecting a seamless balance of elevated design and everyday convenience. Bordering the McDowell Mountain Preserve, the property enjoys permanent, unobstructed views and a rare sense of protected openness. The coveted north/south exposure delivers exceptional natural light throughout the day, allowing for both sunrise and sunset viewing while enhancing comfort and livability. Homes of this scale, privacy, and setting are increasingly uncommon. This is not simply a residence, it is a distinctive desert sanctuary, offering timeless appeal in one of the region's most protected and sought-after environments.
