Located in Paradise Valley, Arizona's wealthiest enclave, at the base of Mummy Mountain, a new level of ultraluxury is being introduced to the area with a planned estate that combines striking design and a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Priced at $16.495 million, this to-be-built home spans across 1.3 acres, boasting one of the most sought-after locations in the region. As part of the exclusive Silver Sky community, the property represents one of twelve exquisite residences planned for this ultra-luxury development.
Situated at 6123 East Ironwood Drive, No. 11, the forthcoming residence will offer an impressive 9,444 square feet of refined living space. Construction is set to commence in the spring, with an estimated completion time of 18 to 22 months. Named 'Aquarius' and designed by Drewett Works Architecture, the home embodies a modern contemporary aesthetic with its steel-frame construction and soft-colored stone facade. The design strategically incorporates multiple levels of patios to capture stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape.
The views from this property are undoubtedly breathtaking, as attested by agent Kirk Linehan of RETSY, who shares the listing with colleague Babbi Gabel. From the rooftop deck of the house, Mummy Mountain is merely 100 yards away, creating an awe-inspiring landscape that unfolds before the home's future owners. In addition to the proximity to Mummy Mountain, residents will also enjoy distant views of McDowell Mountain, Pinnacle Peak, and the mesmerizing city lights.
Water features play a central role in the heart of 'Aquarius'. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors will lead to an infinity pool and spa that seamlessly extend into the home, blurring the boundaries between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The living room appears to effortlessly float atop the expansive pool, creating a remarkable visual effect.
The indoor-outdoor design of the home offers an unparalleled entertaining experience, with a continuous flow of space that extends across the kitchen, dining room, and living room. For those seeking moments of solitude, a secluded backyard and fire pit are also part of the property's plans. The kitchen will feature high-end appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero, while an indoor-outdoor bar, a four-car garage, and a temperature-controlled wine wall capable of holding over 300 bottles are just a few of the luxurious amenities to be found within this desert dwelling.
To ensure privacy and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property, the gated estate will be meticulously landscaped by the Berghoff Design Group. With an increasing number of high-net-worth individuals choosing to relocate to Arizona, this stunning residence could serve as a second or third home, or even a primary residence for a family looking to enjoy the unparalleled beauty of the area year-round. Moreover, the indoor-outdoor style and amenities make it an enticing option for professional athletes looking for a home that accommodates their lifestyle.
Mummy Mountain, situated within the Phoenix Mountains, stands proudly at an elevation of over 2,260 feet above sea level. The Paradise Valley Mountain Preserve Trust protects approximately 320 acres atop the mountain, ensuring the preservation of its natural splendor. Nestled on the southern slope of the mountain lies the renowned JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, which has been a fixture in the area for many years.
Interestingly, Mummy Mountain was once known as Windy Gulch back in the 1940s. However, Swiss businessman Charlie Mieg felt that the name lacked marketing appeal for selling real estate. Recognizing that the land formation resembled 'an Egyptian mummy lying down,' Mieg decided to rename the area, leading to its distinctive moniker.
With panoramic views in every direction, thanks to its multiple level patios, the forthcoming estate at the base of Mummy Mountain promises to redefine luxury living in Paradise Valley.
