Industrial? Residential? Castle? Behold a contemporary Santa Fe estate at the base of Silly Mountain in the Apache Junction / Gold Canyon corridor — just shy of 5,800 square feet, a perfectly appointed 6-bedroom home that feels like a 10-acre resort and full entertainment facility.
#1 Private gate entrance: We're not talking about a gated community. A true estate needs its own automatic gate with a remote.
#2 (2) Gorgeous fountains: one out front, one out back — both framing the flawless mountain views.
#3 45,000-gallon diving pool: this isn't just a boring diving pool — it's a fully automated, remodeled pool with a glass tile table and benches to play cards or drink margaritas while the kids play on the oversized baja benches or try a backflip off the diving board. Oh — and for the older kids at heart, there is a remote for you to blast the fountains into what's called Bellagio mode or Geyser mode (my added touch of fun).
#4 (3) Oversized 3-car garage with extra storage — big enough for your big truck.
#5 Solar: for all you green peeps — 14.5 kW of solar flows back to the grid as renewable energy.
#6 Award-winning hardscape pavers: 22,000 square feet of pavers — a circular driveway leading to a 3-tiered backyard paradise with 6 fire features to make every neighbor jealous.
#7 Dark Sky Zone: this home sits in a dark-sky zone — no street lights, so you can see every star in the sky. Have you ever seen a full moon rise above the majestic Superstition Mountains in a dark sky zone? Grab the telescope out of the spare bedroom and gaze for hours!
#8 Fully fenced yard: of course every compound needs an impermeable wall, but this wall is mostly view fencing — a block wall would not be the right choice for this home's views.
#9 Horse property: I guess you could put a horse out there, as we are zoned for it. =) Could the back fountain be a watering hole? I guess so.
#10 Hiking trails: Silly Mountain hiking park is a mile away. If hiking is not your thing, then chew up some curly fries, watch the hikers hike the mountain, and snicker. Let's keep in mind people drive for miles to hike the mountain that is in your backyard — it must have fantastic views!
#11 Views views views: flawless Superstition Mountain and city lights in the front, flawless Silly Mountain in the back. Is the front completely flawless? Well, you might see some rooftops of multi-million-dollar homes a quarter mile away in the background. I hope that won't hurt you.
#12 Wild kingdom: as you gaze at the mountain in the backyard, watch the wildlife. Bunnies, quail, roadrunners, cardinals, hawks, coyotes, and your occasional deer or desert tortoise. Shhhhhh — you hear that? It's what quiet sounds like, with a hint of wildlife.
#13 Zombie apocalypse: if you're one of the 0.0003% of people who think zombies are coming, don't worry — if you are renting this home during the invasion, you are in a fully fenced compound that can go completely off-grid with solar and a private well. =)
We've covered the outside — now let's go inside!
#1 6 large bedrooms:
Bedroom 1, 15'x17': King bed, shares Jack and Jill bathroom
Bedroom 2, 17'x17': King bed, shares bathroom with common bathroom attached
Bedroom 3, 15'x15': King bed with attached Jack and Jill bathroom
Bedroom 4, 17' x 30' Master Bedroom: King Bed + Queen Sofa Bed with private sitting area and attached ensuite. Enjoy perfect mountain views and the pool from this 700 sq ft suite!
Bedroom 5 (basement, next to the theater): Queen bed. Its bathroom is the upstairs bathroom.
Bedroom 6 (upstairs game room), 32' x 22': (2) sets of full-over-full bunk beds with attached ensuite. This 700 sq ft bedroom has it all: Street Fighter, Rush 2012, NBA Jam, an 80-game classic machine (Asteroids, Joust, Galaga — everything you played as a kid), plus foosball. Did I mention the views from up there?
(3) Kings, (1) Queen, (4) double beds in full-over-full bunks. (4) Queen sleeper sofas: 3 in the great room and 1 in the master bedroom.
#2 Bathrooms: 4 large full baths, all with beautiful travertine showers (plus a tub for soaking). Most are dual-sink with custom tile, Venetian plaster, and woven onyx. What are those? Let's just say really nice.
#3 Kitchen: as you'd expect — a very large, very nice kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and 3-inch granite countertops. 4 stools line the counters.
#4 DirecTV: lounge around eating Cheetos and watching the hikers hike the mountain with the complete DirecTV system — every movie channel, all flat screens. We didn't go cheap: the front living room has a 65-inch Smart Sharp Aquos.
#5 Dungeon / theater room: as you walk to the end of the hall, you will notice a full-size knight in shining armor. Head down the stairs and you will notice a dungeon-like atmosphere complete with a dungeon gate. Off to the right is the queen bedroom (Bedroom 5). Off to the left you will notice a movie-watching paradise: 80 inches of movie excellence. If watching a movie in the basement sounds cool, wait till you sink into one of the stadium seats (you will not want to leave). If you like big screens, you will like big noise. I am what is called a sound snob. I don't care about price, model, or brand name — if it sounds phenomenal, it's in the dungeon. With 7.1 Dolby Digital, you will get the same experience as you would in a movie theater, except your wallet is 75 dollars heavier. Is one subwoofer enough? It is, if you are a sound novice. All subwoofers have a certain frequency range; all movies have multiple ranges. Guess what? The dungeon has 4 subwoofers to meet all the ranges that every newer movie puts out. There are even 2 subs under the chair stadium platforms. Sounds fantastic.
For the kids or big kids out there (like me): have you ever played Call of Duty on 140 inches with heart-pounding sound? I have — it's pretty cool! Bring your own PlayStation or Xbox.
#6 Home automation: lights turn on and off for your convenience, day and night. Long-range wireless router for all your vacation pics — tweet until your fingers go numb!
#7 Hidden room: that 11-foot mirrored piece of furniture by the entrance? It holds 36 bottles of wine — and push open the "secret" wine rack door to head upstairs to the bedroom / game room. Impress your guests with that!
If you're shopping on price alone, this isn't your home. I'm sure there are plenty of homes in Gilbert, Chandler, or Mesa where you can share an unpainted block wall. If you do rent one there, look out for the screaming kids in the street. If you are looking for an extremely quiet estate on acres of land with phenomenal views, fountains, diving pools, outdoor entertainment, theater rooms in the form of dungeons, lots of space to roam, and hiking trails out the fence — this is your home.
