About this home
Rio Garros Ranch is a single-level home on 4.5 acres in the Rio Verde Foothills with true 360-degree views of the McDowells, Four Peaks, and the surrounding Sonoran Desert. The parcel forever protects the views, with no rooftops crowding the property line and no HOA.
Now, let's talk about water. The home has a 5,000 gallon tank, water level monitoring system and conveys with a coveted 100-year Epcor water contract. The only way to secure this contract is to buy a home with one in place.
The property is named for its pickleball court. The owner matched the court's color to the exact red of the Roland Garros clay in Paris, home of the French Open, giving it a look you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Truly one of the most beautiful pickleball courts in the country. The 2,913 sq ft home showcases authentic Southwestern design. Saltillo tile, hand-painted tile accents and copper countertops pair with vaulted ceilings and skylights that bring in natural light throughout. The views carry indoors, framed through the windows from the main living spaces. The floor plan is split, with 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated office and 2.5 baths. The spacious kitchen has a walk-in pantry, and the home also includes a wet bar and a rooftop view deck. The primary suite is privately positioned and features a soaking tub, dual sinks, and his and her walk-in closets, while the two guest rooms share a Jack and Jill bath. A gated front courtyard with a fireplace welcomes you at the entry, and a covered back patio extends the living space outdoors. This home was built with custom masonry construction vs wood framing like a true desert southwest custom.
The 4.5 acre lot leaves room for more. There is space to add a pool, build a guest casita, set up for horses with a barn, arena, or RV garage, all with direct access to miles of riding and off-road trails. Plenty of space for immediate RV parking on the property with existing 30/50 amp hookup. McDowell Mountain Regional Park, the Verde River and Bartlett Lake are just minutes away. A true outdoor lovers paradise. Plus a 3 car garage for ample parking and storage.
The location balances privacy with access. North Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Cave Creek are all within a 20-minute drive for shopping and dining. The Rio Verde Foothills continue to gain attention as development and construction take over North Scottsdale. Views, privacy, peacefulness on your very own ranch in the Sonoran Desert....
