Property Description

For the first time on the market, this 1990s custom contemporary offers an opportunity to those wanting a rewarding project in an area with significant upside potential. The value here is the home's position with extraordinary views and solid construction in the Shea Corridor - a combination increasingly rare at this price point. Set on 1.78 acres backing a protected natural wash, this property delivers striking architectural character, elevation changes within the floor plan, and oversized windows framing unobstructed desert and mountain views that will only appreciate in value as the corridor continues to build out around them. The structure itself is the asset. A 2-story custom build with strong architectural interest offers a split floor plan, multiple indoor-outdoor connections across extensive covered patio and deck space, and a ground-floor primary suite. The interior is ready for a full renovation, giving the right buyer the freedom to execute a high-end finish package without paying the premium of someone else's taste baked into the price. The separate rear shop with its own 2-car garage and RV gate access has obvious conversion potential as a guest house, ADU, or short-term rental. Combined with the attached casita (full kitchen, bedroom, and bath), this is a compound that can truly be customized for a variety of today's lifestyles. New construction and high-end renovations are actively reshaping this corridor, and interest in the area continues to grow. With 1.78 acres in a prime Scottsdale location, this property is positioned to benefit from that momentum.
