About 10500 E LOST CANYON Drive Unit# 17, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85255
Hand-carved into the very mountain it rests upon, this extraordinary estate is more than a home--it is a livable work of art. Every element has been thoughtfully sculpted, from the hand-carved doors to the sweeping, curvilinear walls and ceilings, culminating in the striking wagon wheel ceiling that serves as a true architectural centerpiece. Rich in detail and artistry, the residence offers an immersive experience that continually reveals new layers of craftsmanship and design. Set within the exclusive and aptly named Lost Canyon, this is one of the most private properties in the area--yet just minutes from Scottsdale's private airport and the city's premier dining, shopping, and entertainment. Encompassing approximately 14 acres, the estate is surrounded by the breathtaking expanse of of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, offering over 30,000 acres of protected desert landscape and more than 180 miles of scenic trails. The outdoor living experience rivals that of a world-class resort--lush, immersive, and designed to transport you. Meandering pathways wind through the estate, following a tranquil stream and leading to a series of enchanting destinations. Towering natural surroundings and layered landscaping create a rare, Costa Rican-inspired atmosphere in the heart of the desert, where every turn feels like a secluded escape. Throughout the grounds, ten fireplaces are thoughtfully placed, casting a warm glow that enhances the ambiance from intimate evenings to large-scale gatherings. From a secluded reading retreat perched at the upper reaches of the property, to a romantic grotto adorned with intricate stonework, every space invites exploration. Grassy play areas, swings, and a private golf chipping area further enhance the estate's park-like setting. Entertaining is elevated to an art form with a rustic outdoor culinary pavilion, ideal for all-family cookouts and unforgettable evenings under the stars. Multiple seating areas, dramatic natural backdrops, and the soft flicker of firelight create an atmosphere that is both inviting and unforgettable--capturing the essence of a private luxury resort. Inside, the home continues to impress with uncompromising quality and bespoke finishes. Venetian plaster walls, reclaimed oak flooring, and hand-carved mesquite doors speak to the level of craftsmanship found throughout. The kitchen is both functional and inspiring, with architectural detailing and panoramic views that make it a space you'll never want to leave. A temperature-controlled wine tasting room showcases exquisite stonework, providing a setting as refined as the collection it houses. The primary office is equally remarkable, with custom millwork and thoughtful design that foster both creativity and focus. This majestic mountain retreat is a rare offering--where art, architecture, and nature converge to create a home that lives like a private resort and feels as extraordinary as it looks.
