Welcome to 81240 Alydar, set within the prestigious gated community of Griffin Ranch and tucked into one of the neighborhood's most coveted cul-de-sac locations. Known as The Fairway Sanctuary, this exceptional residence captures breathtaking south-facing mountain and golf course views that are rarely available, creating a private desert oasis from the moment you arrive.The property overlooks approximately 174 feet of golf course frontage, an unusually wide span that delivers a remarkable sense of openness, scale, and privacy. Expansive mountain views and open green space further distinguish this setting, offering a level of seclusion seldom found within the community.Built in 2007 and held by one owner since construction, the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home has been lightly lived in and thoughtfully maintained, with significant capital improvements already completed. These include proactive roof maintenance, new American Standard Platinum Series variable-speed air conditioning systems, new windows, recent pool resurfacing and equipment upgrades, and full exterior paint. The residence is offered turnkey furnished for immediate enjoyment.The popular Campania Series floor plan features soaring ceilings, graceful archways, custom built-ins, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The backyard is a true highlight, featuring an extra-length lap pool, spa, private putting green, outdoor misters, a built-in BBQ with sunken serving area, and multiple covered patios, all oriented to capture fairway and mountain views. A private guest casita, inviting front courtyard with fireplace, and three-car garage complete the home.Ideally located just moments from the clubhouse and its world-class amenities, including tennis, pickleball, fitness and Pilates studios, community events, and a resort-style Olympic pool with cabanas and fire pits. This is desert living that feels private, complete, and enduring.
