Great homes can not easily be described, they have to be experienced.

Perched high on the hillside in the McDowell Mountains and in the exclusive guard gated golf community of Ancala, this custom built 10,900 square foot home offers commanding views of Camelback Mountain, city lights, and spectacular sunsets.

With luxurious Arizona Tuscan architecture, every amenity has been incorporated. Upscale finishes such as Travertine and distressed hardwood floors, Canterra hand carved stone fireplaces throughout, rich wood paneling in the study and sterling silver faucets in the powder room and a Murano crystal chandelier from Venice just begin to define the attention to details in this incredible home.
