10707 E STONEY Lane

Welcome to Rose Quartz-57, an authentic, southwest-facing, adobe/Santa Fe-style home on one of the most private, ''big view'' homesites in all of Desert Mountain, one of the finest golf/outdoor recreation planned developments in the country, featuring the private Desert Mountain Club. A full golf membership in the Club is available with no wait period at additional cost via purchase of the home, subject to membership application approval. The recently substantially updated home, designed by the legendary artist/designer Bill Tull, offers 180-degree views of mountains, winter sunsets, distant city lights after dark, the seventh and fifteenth holes on Desert Mountain's Cochise course (one of the Club's six eighteen-hole championship golf courses), and a 2.4 acre lake shared by the two hole The purchase price includes half of an adjacent lot, adding to the privacy and views. The property is on the southeastern edge of approximately 140 acres of currently open space, courtesy of the presence of the Cochise golf course. Some possibility exists for modest development in this area, but access to it would be from the other side, and rooflines would not be visible due to the way the land falls. Design details of the home include plastered, solid adobe walls, vega and latilla ceilings, cacti rib window shutters, lighted art niches, stone and hardwood floors, arched doorways, a gated entry courtyard with a welcoming "beehive" fireplace, light and bright interior paint, and colorful ceramic tile countertops and accent surfaces, all emblematic of this classic, timeless style. The primary bedroom has been remodeled extending it further and adding massive windows to take in the views of the lake, mountains and fairways. Nearly every room offers outdoor access, complemented by water features, a gorgeous lap pool covered in spectacular glass mosaic tile, fireplaces (ten, overall), substantial lawn grass, mature desert landscaping, and remarkable panoramic views with almost no other homes or rooftops in sight. All materials and finishes are of superior quality. The windows in the main living area bring the outdoors in with french doors that open to the covered patio spaces which include a large, built in BBQ, Green Egg, fireplace and completely redone pool. The outdoor space is perfect for entertaining a crowd or just relaxing in peace and quiet while taking in the sunsets and twinkling city lights. Combine all this with an upstairs, separate, two-room casita; an upper view deck with a fireplace, spa, and wet bar; and three ensuite bedrooms in the main house, and the possibilities are endless. And, between the substantial grass yard, the acres of visible golf course grass, the lap pool, and the lake, the home is essentially a lush, desert oasis! More on Desert Mountain... It is a thirty-four-year-old, 8,200-acre, gated development on the slopes of the Continental Mountain range on the northern edge of Scottsdale, contiguous to the fourth largest National Forest in the country. There is an over twenty-mile private trail system in these mountains for the exclusive use of Desert Mountain residents. The top elevation is 4,890', highest in all of Maricopa County. The views from the high point in the trail system are really something to see! Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is typically about a forty-minute drive from the community's Front Gate. Private air terminals at Scottsdale Airport are approximately thirty minutes away. The opportunity to be a member of The Desert Mountain Club is a significant part of the attraction of living in Desert Mountain for most property owners as the Club is the emotional, physical, and social "core" of the place. The Club is rightfully internationally famous as a year 'round, private spa and golf mecca, with seven clubhouses, nine dining venues, six eighteen-hole championship Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, four practice ranges, a high-tech golf performance center, and an eighteen-hole par-3 course, rated for handicap purposes. That course, known as "Seven", has a "sports bar" clubhouse with twenty-eight big screen televisions, two bocce ball courts, and several huge firepits. A new clubhouse for the Renegade golf course is nearing completion as of late summer 2023. One of the other Clubhouses is the Sonoran Clubhouse, an amazing swim (three pools), tennis (nine courts, including grass, Har-Tru, and cushioned surface hard courts), fitness (with all-new equipment as of July 2023), and full-service spa facility with an indoor/outdoor grill restaurant. It enjoyed a $12,000,000 renovation in 2016. The following summer saw six pickleball courts (two more will be added by Fall, 2023), two bocce courts, and two croquet courts added. It is now perhaps the premier facility of its type in the entire Southwest. The Club's nine private dining venues offer a wide variety of food, wine, and atmospheres. No coats and ties required! A tremendous range of non-golf outdoor recreation and social activities are also available, including bocce leagues, book clubs, and everything in between. The Club's membership is catered to relentlessly by an attentive Club staff and Concierge, providing unparalleled service. In a word, the place is "phenomenal". It is so good, three multi-million-dollar lottery winners have chosen Desert Mountain over the years as the place they want to live. Desert Mountain's location in the High Sonoran Desert is a place of surpassing serenity and scenic beauty with long-range, panoramic views of Phoenix, Scottsdale, the entire "Valley of the Sun", many mountain ranges near and far, unique vegetation, soul enhancing wildlife, and, of course, Arizona's famous sunrises and sunsets! It has attracted full-and part-time residents from all over North America, Great Britain, and western Europe. Another reason people like to own real estate here is because real estate taxes are strikingly low compared to many parts of the country, particularly the Northeast, Midwest, and California. The weather is famously sunny, and our risk of natural disasters is extremely low. Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night and the air is typically much cleaner than what lies over the Valley. Day-to-day shopping needs for Desert Mountain owners are well-handled within about a ten-minute drive by the merchants in the nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek. There are roughly seventy restaurants and bars within about sixteen minutes' drive. The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is famous for world-class shopping, major league and collegiate sports, terrific air service, and a wide variety of cultural attractions. Desert Mountain is within two and a half hours of normally excellent snow skiing in Flagstaff. Its location in the southwestern part of the United States affords easy access to the entire American West, with especially easy access to San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and a plethora of unbelievably beautiful places in Southern Utah. "Paradise" does not overstate it.
