Urban Farmhouse Retreat on South Mountain
AVM $1.5M - $1.75M
Perched at 1,500 feet on the southwest slope of South Mountain Park Preserve, this exceptional urban farmhouse estate blends luxury living with natural beauty and ecological harmony. Set on 4.12 acres, the property includes a 5,189 sq ft manor, a massive barn, and the largest, lowest-priced equestrian estate in Maricopa County. It also features one of the largest private saltwater pools—an 85,000-gallon oasis—designed for both relaxation and sustainability, ensuring low utility costs and exceptional water conservation.
A Rare Location
Protected by South Mountain Park Preserve’s Dark Skies and Silent Nights ordinances, this property offers uninterrupted views of the Milky Way above and sparkling city lights below. Despite its serene, private setting, the estate is just 4.3 miles from the 202 Loop and 25 minutes from Nordstrom, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. Local conveniences like Starbucks, Sprouts, and Home Depot are only minutes away.
A Masterpiece of Design
Commissioned in 1987, the property features 8 levels of landscape architecture that seamlessly integrate with the desert slopes. Thousands of hand-cut pavers and exposed aggregate concrete terraces exemplify exceptional craftsmanship. The home itself is designed to maximize panoramic views and natural light, offering a perfect balance of form and function.
Home Highlights
Top Level: A private suite with 2 bedrooms, a den, gym, 2 bathrooms, and 3 decks.
Main Level: A spacious country kitchen with a grand hearth and hand-cut stone flooring, a media room, library, and multiple terraces for enjoying the breathtaking surroundings.
Lower Level: A self-contained suite with 2 rooms, a bath, and direct access to the outdoors.
Ecological Restoration & Sustainability
The property has been carefully restored to its natural state, replacing ornamental plants with native desert vegetation to create a sustainable, lush oasis. The landscaping attracts birds and butterflies, while monthly pest control ensures a harmonious ecosystem. Mesquites and palo verdes enhance natural breezes, providing shade and comfort year-round.
The estate’s water conservation features and low utility costs make it as efficient as it is breathtaking. The 85,000-gallon saltwater pool, one of the largest private pools in the area, is designed for maximum enjoyment with minimal upkeep.
A Sky Gazers' Paradise
This estate offers unparalleled stargazing opportunities, with meteor showers, the Milky Way, and the moonrise all visible from its terraces. The saltwater pool, complete with waterfalls and underwater lighting, adds to the sense of peace and relaxation, making every evening feel like a spiritual retreat.
An Unrepeatable Opportunity
As part of the South Mountain Park Preserve, this property is protected from future development. No new construction or expansions are allowed on surrounding slopes, ensuring this remains the largest and most distinctive property at this elevation.
If you’re looking for a property that offers luxury, sustainability, privacy, and breathtaking beauty, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
