Outside, you can watch the sunrise over the Four Peaks and enjoy the expansive mountain views from the covered wraparound east patio. Later in the day, view gorgeous unimpeded Arizona sunsets from the fully landscaped west patio. At night, you can stargaze under the endless desert skies, unpolluted by the urban lights of Phoenix. The acreage includes Via Dona Road and extends north to Skinner Drive, so you are guaranteed privacy and space. Want to buy just the home and not the additional lot? Check out listing #6882730 for the opportunity to buy just the home on 2.272 acres! There is ample room to add outbuildings, casitas, swimming pools, additional equestrian facilities, landscape features, and the like. With no local HOA, your freedom to put your own personal touches and additions on the house and land is only as limited as your imagination! The back quarter of the property is already equestrian-equipped, with a 4 stall mare motel in a large corral that easily could be converted into an arena. Space is also available for RV parking and equipment storage. That's in the event that the spacious three-car attached garage with its custom cabinetry, extra high doors/ceilings, high tech openers and epoxy flooring isn't enough to store your vehicles and other toys. Inside, the home is filled with natural light. Its open plan and sliding glass doors allow you to combine indoor and outdoor activities with ease. Very high ceilings soar above the large great room with its tall windows, fireplace, dining area, and entertainment center. Behind the large breakfast bar is the fabulous kitchen, which has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry and the perfect breakfast space for you to watch the wildlife over a cup of coffee. The master suite starts with a spacious bedroom which has its own entry door from the outside. From there, you encounter the dramatic master bathroom with walk-in shower, twin sinks and large bathtub. The walk-in closet is tremendous, with a full complement of custom cabinetry and enough extra space to house a home office or an array of workout equipment. Two additional bedrooms are also spacious and airy, with each closet boasting customized shelving for maximal storage. The laundry room also includes a full-sized washer/dryer and an extra full-sized refrigerator. Don't miss the rare opportunity to make this home the center of your own estate in the beautiful Sonoran desert!
