My wonderful dad, also an Arizona native, was a general contractor. He always dreamed of living on a mountainside and in 2009, that dream became a reality. He hauled out 80 dump trucks full of dirt to create the pad out of the steep mountainside (no blasting allowed!) and first built and lived in the detached guest house while he built the main house. The whole process took 4 years and when you see it you will understand why! It is quite a feet of engineering as he preserved giant boulders and the mountainside. It has an amazing view of the entire north Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek area. It was his favorite place on earth and now it is our favorite place too. We are excited to share it with you!
