If plenty of privacy and land is your desire, this five-bedroom, 5 ½-bathroom estate is the one for you. While the home itself is large—clocking in at 7,718 square feet—it’s the 12.2-acre lot that truly sets it apart. Elevated high atop Desert Mountain, views of the entire Valley impress while masterful stonework, cantera stone arches and accents, forged metal details and a limestone paved entry showcase the builder’s artful approach. Step through the 9-foot-by-12-foot arched rain-glass and iron scrolling front door—after dropping your ride in the five-car garage—to reveal a brick mosaic-lined rotunda illuminated by a glittering crystal chandelier. Valley vistas lie beyond the gourmet chef’s kitchen, which is outfitted with Alder wood cabinets, premium appliances and an oversize walk-in pantry. The fun continues downstairs where the bonus room is highlighted by a semicircular bar, a workout space, a home theater and two additional guest bedrooms. A Control4 smart home system gives you the ability to command the home from your smartphone while you enjoy your outdoor putting green, negative-edge pool, outdoor kitchen and outdoor living room.

The charm of the Mediterranean entices at this sprawling estate in Silverleaf’s Upper Canyon. Built in 2007 and remodeled in 2017, the whopping 13,068-square-foot mansion overlooks the eighth fairway of Silverleaf Club’s Tom Weiskopf-designed, 18-hole championship golf course.
