Car Lovers: Here’s a high-octane desert home to showcase your
oh-so-cool rides.
On 8.1 acres in Pinnacle Peak Heights in prime North Scottsdale
85255, the seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom two-story custom, with
separate casita, is 12,500-plus square feet of luxury, extraordinary
multi-mile desert mountain views, entertainment wow!, exquisite
detail and serenity.
You will enjoy man-caving in 2,200 square feet of garage, with
seven bays accommodating nine cars. Two bays are extended, two
are fitted with lifts and one bay is fully carpeted, including a chan-
delier, for a showroom finish. Furniture-quality cabinetry, a built-in
pressure washer and drain are among the amenities you and your
vendors can use to service and detail the collection.
Built in 1990 by Unicom, the Contemporary Rustic Tudor
Estate, 23035 N. Church Road, was completely renovated and
expanded from the original 8,500 square feet in 2004 by Monster
Builders of Phoenix, as designed by SB Design Group, Scottsdale.
“My clients sought a retreat and reprieve from the day to day,”
says Steven Benitez, design professional and principal of SB Design
Group. “They also sought the ability to effortlessly entertain large
numbers of guests as they so often did.”
Enjoy your cars as well as great movies, music and live enter-
tainment with friends and family in the unique detached theater.
The ultra-room features 32 fully reclining virtual reality seats,
incorporating Buttkicker® simulators: If a Ferrari burns the
asphalt, you see and feel the screech; if there’s an earthquake on
screen, the shake is in your seat.
In addition, the theater has a snack bar and soda station, pop-
corn machine, his and hers bathrooms and an audio and lighting
room, even a green room. A full stage provides opportunities for
live performances and plays. And, the room easily flexes for business
meetings and live TV feeds.
For outdoors entertaining, the home has three prep, serve and
bar areas: one adjacent to the interior kitchen and living room;
another just off the pool and spa with a giant screen viewable from
the water; and a third, the stand-alone outdoor kitchen, which
Benitez sited for large and small parties with appointments of the
finest traditional kitchens.
“With an appearance of the tropics, a touch of rustic stone
and simple contemporary metal roof ing, this low-slung structure
was designed to refrain from blocking city views and still easily
entertain your guests,” he explains.
Adjacent to this kitchen are a putting green, fire pits, shuffle-
board, lighted tennis and sport courts, numerous waterfalls and
grottos and a pond.
A fully-tiled 96,000-gallon pool with 12 diving points, under-
water sound system, and a one-story waterfall with a secret grotto
sitting 12 provides your family, friends and guests a rare multi-
sensuous combination of homey intimacy and resort grandeur.
