✨ Is This Home Right for You?
This home is a great fit if you’re:
- A couple or solo traveler craving peace, privacy, and a slower pace
- Someone who loves nature, wildlife, sunsets, and star-filled skies
- Happy unwinding outdoors — deck lounging, hammocks, and cowboy-tub stargazing
- Comfortable with a remote desert setting and planning ahead for groceries

- Sensitive to the idea of sharing a property (the casita and main home are separate but on the same land)
- Looking for a place to host gatherings, parties, or events
- Uncomfortable with country roads or rural surroundings or wildlife animals
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire casita and private yard areas. The driveway is shared with the main home on the property, but you’ll have a space for one vehicle.
The Neighborhood:
Located in northern Scottsdale on a dirt road with a charming desert vibe! You’ll be about a 35 minute drive to North Scottsdale shops and restaurants, shops, but this location is special in that you’ll find endless hikes on beautiful trails, surrounded by nature and clear stargazing at night! It's a wonderful opportunity to disconnect and get away from it all!
