About this home
Tucked within the esteemed custom-home community of Pinnacle Peak Heights, Desert Tears is a truly extraordinary gated estate set on nearly seven acres at the base of the McDowell Mountains, where the land rises into one of the area's peaks and captures sweeping panoramic city-light views and the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Rich with character and timeless charm, this one-of-a-kind residence is defined by artisan craftsmanship and distinctive architectural details throughout. Its name, Desert Tears, offers a subtle nod to the beauty and stillness of the desert landscape that inspired its creation.
Thoughtfully designed for both elevated entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home offers a desirable and dynamic layout. The primary suite is privately situated on the upper level opening to breathtaking valley, city-light, and mountain views--creating a serene retreat that feels both elevated and connected to the surrounding landscape. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are located on the main level, along with a separate guest house on the property, providing ideal accommodations for family and guests.
At the heart of the home, a truly exceptional commercial-grade kitchen caters to the culinary enthusiast, featuring top-tier Montague appliances, infrared gas broilers, a French hot top with wok ring, six-burner configuration, and three ovens. A striking horseshoe bar seamlessly connects the kitchen and main living spaces, enhancing the home's natural flow and creating an inviting environment for gathering and entertaining. A 1,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar further elevates the experience.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living is showcased through a beautiful Arizona room that opens to expansive desert and city views beyond. Throughout the home, richly layered finishes include custom beamed ceilings, domed brickwork, and extensive stone elements--remarkably sourced directly from the property itself--creating an authentic connection to the surrounding McDowell Mountain terrain.
The grounds are equally captivating, featuring seven fireplaces, two fire pits, and a stunning heated all-tile pool and spa designed for both relaxation and recreation. The approximately 9.5-foot diving pool is complemented by a sculptural, custom-designed diving feature, while an intriguing fire feature at the entry gate creates a dramatic and memorable arrival. A sunken, lighted tennis court--recently refurbished and thoughtfully designed for both tennis and pickleball--adds to the estate's exceptional recreational offerings.
Car enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive 13-car garage capacity, highlighted by a show-stopping nine-car showcase garage complete with a modular kitchen and extensive storage, creating a truly unique space for display, entertaining, and functionality. Private, distinctive, and masterfully crafted, Desert Tears is a rare Scottsdale estate that blends architectural soul, natural beauty, and exceptional livability into an offering of uncommon significance....
