Description
An Extraordinary Canvas Beneath Camelback Mountain. A Rare Opportunity to Create a Signature Estate.
In luxury real estate, location is everything--and few settings are as extraordinary as Camelback Mountain. Set on more than an acre of exceptional desert land, this remarkable homesite captures expansive mountain vistas and dazzling city-light views, offering an unparalleled opportunity to create a truly iconic desert estate. Here, the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert becomes an integral part of the architectural vision. Dramatic elevations and sweeping sight-lines invite inspired design, with the potential to create a residence that seamlessly embraces its surroundings while maximizing the breathtaking views from every angle.
Supplements: Adding to its exceptional appeal, the property includes city approved architectural plans for an approximately 4,000-square-foot residence, with a building permit currently set to expire January 7, 2027. Also available is a rendering for an alternative vision: an approximately 6,000-square-foot residence with a detached casita. The alternative design has not been permitted, offering a compelling starting point for those who envision a grander architectural statement. Opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare along the slopes of Camelback Mountain. Whether inspired by contemporary desert minimalism or a bold, sculptural masterpiece, this extraordinary parcel offers the space, setting, and potential to bring an exceptional vision to life. Rare land. Iconic views. Limitless possibilities.
