Description

Elevated Luxury in a Private Desert Sanctuary. Nestled on an expansive 1.1-acre lot that borders a protected natural wash and pristine desert preserve, this 7,315-square-foot estate offers a rare masterclass in elegance and privacy. From its commanding position, the home captures breathtaking, unobstructed views of the city lights and rugged mountain silhouettes, providing a dramatic backdrop for both daily living and grand-scale entertaining. The architectural design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, culminating in a six-car garage that serves as a premier gallery for the serious automotive enthusiast. The heart of the home is a gourmet chef's kitchen, where functionality meets timeless craftsmanship.

Supplements: Rich alder cabinetry and expansive granite countertops are complemented by professional-grade stainless steel appliances, creating an environment that is as practical as it is beautiful. Adjacent to the culinary space, a private wine cellar awaits the connoisseur's collection. With five generous bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, the floor plan is meticulously scaled to provide every resident with a sense of sanctuary and sophistication. Transitioning to the lower level reveals a walk-out basement designed as a comprehensive entertainment destination. This light-filled space features a state-of-the-art media room, a dedicated exercise suite, and a stylish lounge area perfect for hosting guests. The glass doors disappear to reveal a resort-caliber backyard oasis, where a shimmering pool and heated spa overlook the desert floor. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning watching the local wildlife in the preserve or hosting a sunset soirée against the city skyline, this property represents the pinnacle of luxury living.
