Property Description
Nestled behind a private gate on almost 4.6 acres of immaculate Sonoran-Desert landscape, this 1976 custom residence invites a discerning buyer to restore a slice of architectural history. The home's rare hybrid of Spanish-Revival elegance and the rugged charm of a Mexican monastery creates a timeless backdrop for imagination and refinement. Towering saguaros frame the property, while a gentle desert breeze carries whispers of possibility--whether you envision a tranquil sanctuary, a showcase of artisan craftsmanship, or a savvy investment that builds on its recent $1.76M appraisal. 9/25/25 APPRAISAL VALUE AT $1,760,000. NEW ROOF IN DECEMBER 2025!!! Gated 4.5+ acres (3 lots) in Cave Creek, this 1976 exceptionally built exterior/interior 4000sf+custom Spanish-style home updated with Pella windows and sliding doors thru-out. Plenty of extra parking plus garages for 6 cars and a fully powered with electrical and plumbing workshop. Pool, water feature, fountain, deck, patios, bbq, fireplaces, balconies, walk-around terraces with unique charm and gorgeous views. Numerous spectacular tall Saguaro Cactus and natural desert plants on the property. The kitchen and casual dining ceiling can be raised another foot to match the formal dining area. Custom made cabinets and detail work throughout including beautifully made furniture in the workshop. Note: the courtyard arch bell is over 150 years old and was specially selected from an antique shop. The style of the villa home is a mix of Mexican Colonial and Spanish Monastery design.
