From the moment you enter through the striking carved wood doors, the home makes an impression. The expansive great room is defined by dramatic wood-beamed ceilings, a fireplace, beautiful 16'' x 32'' tile flooring throughout and walls of glass that frame the surrounding desert while creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living spaces.

Two additional bedrooms and beautifully remodeled baths provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The outdoor living spaces are truly spectacular. An expansive covered patio with exposed wood beams opens to a resort-style pool and spa, multiple seating and entertaining areas, and a separate fire pit terrace perfectly positioned to enjoy unforgettable Arizona sunsets. Mature desert landscaping complements the natural surroundings while preserving the property's exceptional sense of privacy and openness.
The home's original owner traveled extensively throughout Asia and other parts of the world, collecting distinctive furnishings and architectural pieces along the way. During the 2022 remodel, many of these unique elements were thoughtfully incorporated into the residence, giving the home a character and sense of history rarely found in a newly remodeled property. With nearly two acres, the property also offers ample space and potential for the addition of a detached guest house or casita, creating an opportunity for additional guest accommodations, a private studio or expanded living space. Private, beautifully remodeled and surrounded by extraordinary desert scenery, 41801 N. Deer Trail Road offers the quintessential Arizona lifestyle--where expansive indoor-outdoor living, panoramic views, memorable sunsets and distinctive design come together in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
