Description

Welcome to Saguaro Forest 336, another wonderful collaborative effort by Graffin Design and Black Stone Custom Homes, creators of over forty high-quality custom homes in Desert Mountain* over the last twelve years. This 7,170 square foot Contemporary-styled, Great Room plan home, featuring five bedrooms, two offices/dens/studies, two garages with room for five cars, and a wonderful game room, will be built on two levels (with no steps on either of the two levels) on a superb 2.99 acre, southeast/south-facing custom homesite in a beautiful and wonderfully remote part of Desert Mountain, easily the premier golf and recreational master planned development in the western United States, if not the entire country. The home will be positioned forward of its two neighbors, for great privacy.The home will be among the most private and quiet out of over 1,900 homes in the development, at the end of a cul-de-sac, about thirteen minutes, forty seconds away from Desert Mountain's Main Gate and 1.4 miles away from the nearest busy road. No streetlights mean wonderful dark skies at night. Three of the five bedrooms, plus the Game Room, are on a walk-out lower level with its own covered patio. The pool patio, complete with a first-class outdoor barbeque cooking center, a large negative edge pool and separate spa (both finished in Pebble-Tec) will be on the Main Floor. The Great Room will have a telescoping wall of glass to let "the outside in". The home will be equipped with the latest and greatest Crestron Automated Home Control system to make operating the home a breeze. Dial the home up on your phone-based "app" while on final approach into Scottsdale Airport, only thirty-eight minutes away, to have the house ready for your arrival (spa hot, the air conditioning "just right", the lights on, and your favorite music on the full-house music system). Doesn't that sound appealing! The interior materials and finishes are still being selected, but, in keeping with Black Stone's great reputation for quality, they will be exemplary, including Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances and other top brand-names all over the home. Other attractions include: a second refrigerator; a "see through" wine storage room with display racking large enough to accommodate 180 bottles; four HVAC zones; built-in radon mitigation; electronic toilets/bidets in the Master Bathroom; two dishwashers in the Kitchen; hookups for a washer and dryer in the Master Closet; two tankless water heaters; a wet bar; direct drive garage door openers; and an icemaker and wine refrigerator in the Game Room Wet Bar. It will be a very well-detailed home. Styling-wise, the home will be "cutting edge". Please see the several photos included in the collection of other homes recently completed by Black Stone to get a "feel" for how this home will turn out. The views include long-range views of the Four Peaks, thirty-five miles away to the east; the McDowell Mountain range about fifteen miles away to the southeast; and the mountains on the far side of downtown Phoenix forty-eight miles away to the south. In the foreground, several minor mountains or mountain ranges provide perspective to the view, and the soft nighttime glow of residential lighting in Desert Mountain, mostly to the east, provides a very appealing nighttime visual experience (along with all those easily visible stars!). Desert Mountain is a thirty-four-year-old, 8,200 acre, nationally recognized, gated golf and recreational community located in far north Scottsdale, the Front Gate to which is a routine forty-two-minute drive from Terminal Four at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. In addition to a very comfortable year 'round climate and clean air, a nearly twenty-mile-long private trail system for property owners has its trailhead just a four-minute drive away from 336. A vigilant HOA with rigorous Design Guidelines protects and enhances property values. The site is in the most well-known "Village" out of over forty-five of them in Desert Mountain, known as "The Saguaro Forest" for the thousands of naturally occurring Giant Saguaro cacti in this part of the development. Approximately forty of these wonderful plants are on Lot 336. Living in Desert Mountain also provides very convenient access to the facilities of The Desert Mountain Club. It is a private club, owned and governed by its Members, with a long list of member-only amenities including: six championship, eighteen-hole, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses; a seventh course (a collection of eighteen par-3s, rated for handicap purposes); four very well-designed golf practice ranges; a terrific golf performance center for swing analysis, lessons, club repairs, and custom club fitting; and seven clubhouses with nine dining venues. Membership in the Club is optional, and not included in the purchase price. A wait list may apply for all categories of Desert Mountain Club memberships, after a required thirty-day long application and approval process. Contact the Club with questions and prior to writing a purchase contract. One of the Club's clubhouses is the "Sonoran Clubhouse". This is a fabulous swim (three pools), tennis (nine courts, including one grass, five Har-Tru, and three cushioned hard courts), fitness, spa, pickleball (six courts), bocce (two courts), and croquet facility (two courts) clubhouse, with a restaurant, too. It was completely renovated in 2016 and 2017 at a cost in excess of $12,000,000. It is now perhaps the premier facility of its type in the Southwest. The other clubhouses are special, too, and provide a terrific range of experiences for the Members. A membership to the Desert Mountain Club is not included but available from the Club. The previously mentioned trail system is located at the back of the community, in and on top of the Continental Mountains, providing remarkable hiking and mountain biking opportunities for all Desert Mountain property owners. (The Club operates luxury camping and horseback riding operat
