Million Dollar Listings: Paradise in the Sonoran Desert

sonoran1

There’s a lot to love about life in southern Arizona: here, you’ll bask in year-round sunshine, and you’ll never have to worry about hiring someone to plow the snow from your driveway. The people are friendly, the economy is robust, and the culture is unpretentious and casual – a far cry from the formality of certain eastern metropolises.

And what better way to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of the American southwest than in the breathtaking mansion located at 5335 N. Invergordon Road? Here, you’ll feel like desert royalty, enjoying the Sonoran sunsets and watching the summer monsoons from your own private slice of Paradise. Well – Paradise Valley, that is.

Unparalleled Luxury and Quality in Arizona

This home’s grand scale is certainly impressive, but fine details abound throughout the property, and nothing but the highest quality materials were used in its construction. Exotic marble floors can be found throughout the home, and the master wing features health spa-style bathrooms with countertops hand-carved from semi-precious stone. In the kitchen, you’ll find more custom woodwork, not to mention Tortuga granite counters.

A Resort of Your Own

Many people make their way to the Valley of the Sun to escape the wintertime blues, and there are plenty of wonderful resorts designed to make you forget all about the blizzards and icy roads back home in the North Atlantic region.

But even the most opulent of those resorts would have a tough time competing with this amazing home. And best of all – it offers resort-style living that you can have all to yourself.

Entertaining in Paradise

As you’d expect, there’s no shortage of engaging diversions in this 26,000 square-foot estate. You and your fellow cinephiles can enjoy a top-notch theater experience in your own state-of-the-art movie theater, decked out with the latest in-home entertainment technology and tastefully appointed with vibrant, southwestern flair.

The Wild West may be tamer than it once was, but that’s no reason to let your marksmanship skills go to waste, especially when you can fire off a few rounds in your own shooting range. There are moving targets to keep your aim sharp, and two lanes so you can share the experience with a friendly competitor.

Of course, the year-round sunshine is a big part of the desert’s enduring allure, and this private resort-style home takes full advantage of the sun’s generosity. In the rear grounds, you’ll find terraced, artfully lit, heated pools with a hidden waterslide. There’s also a luxurious spa and sauna, and mesmerizing fire features.

The home’s manicured grounds resemble a spacious, well-designed park. The lush lawns and stately palm trees give way to the raw beauty of the surrounding desert beyond.

Expecting overnight guests? Rest assured, they’ll be more than comfortable here. In addition to the master suites, this stately residence boasts four luxurious guest bedrooms, each with its own spa-style bath. There’s even an attached guesthouse where your visitors can enjoy your largesse in complete privacy.
