Remember your last trip to Spain and how great that country villa you rented made you feel? How its timeless ''Old World'' character, textures, and colors warmly connected you to the generations of families who lived there before? (''Timeless'' elements really are timeless!). And that great restaurant nearby! So relaxing and delicious! Warm, sunny days. Cool evenings. Clean air. Stars. Reconnecting with family and friends. Seeing life more clearly in such a calm environment. And, that nearby little town you visited several times? More memories! And, new friends, too. Want more of this, in a world-class private golf and outdoor recreation Club? In the USA? Sure! How? Live in this home, in Desert Mountain, in Scottsdale, AZ with a Full Golf Membership to the Desert Mountain Club! This home is a warm and inviting 5, 794 sf graciously appointed and proportioned Spanish Hacienda-style home (brick caps on horizontal walls built of natural stone and stucco; some pitched Redlands clay tile roofs; brick sills under many windows). Kitchen/family room plan, with separate dining and living rooms. South/southwest solar exposure. Sited at 3, 297' it has fabulous views of the Scottsdale and Phoenix valley (city light views at night!), winter sunsets, and mountains, near and far, and both north and south/southwest. Designed by highly respected designer, German Robledo, to offer a living environment filled with timeless elements that never go out of style. Built in 2005 by Salcito Homes, a leading regional builder, known for durable, high-quality homes (workmanship, appliances, systems, materials and finishes). Meticulously maintained since 2007 by current owner, selling to downsize within Desert Mountain. Offered with access to seller's Full Golf Membership in The Desert Mountain Club via separate payment to the Club (after successful application), avoiding multi-year waitlist (call Club for details prior to offer). In a particularly beautiful/prestigious "Village", The Saguaro Forest, named for ubiquitous giant saguaro cacti. (See "Locator Map" in Documents). Entry/living spaces: Gated entry courtyard with wrought iron gate and large see-through fireplace sets the mood upon arrival. Enter to 15' high ceiling in living and dining rooms, and you'll immediately notice the thoughtful design capturing the breathtaking views on both sides of the home. The quality of the home is immediately evident with extensive ¾" solid walnut hardwood flooring, (one of six) fireplaces with hand-carved masonry construction mantles and surrounds, Venetian plaster on walls and ceilings, and many more comparable details. Continue toward the kitchen, first stopping at the three-barstool wet bar with marble countertop, hammered copper sink, undercounter wine fridge and ice maker, plus walk-in, brick-walled, 211-bottle wine cellar with additional rack and cabinet storage for another 70 - 100 bottles of wine or liquor. Now onto the large kitchen, with big quartzite-covered central island (extensive storage underneath); an elevated "kiva" style fireplace in one corner (hugely impactful); 11' 2" to 14' 4" high, vaulted ceiling with rough-sawn 10" x 10" trusses and authentic wrought iron structural connection plates and bolts; much natural light; custom, solid wood cabinetry; all Viking appliances (two dishwashers, warming oven, microwave, three ovens, six-burner gas range with pot-filler; separate refrigerator and freezer, and a second refrigerator in butler's pantry). Bedrooms/bathrooms: Lovely primary bedroom perfectly captures those distant views, and features an updated bathroom, and closet with custom built-ins. The three guest bedrooms are all ensuite, plus a separate media room/office (with surround sound, wet bar, under-counter fridge, microwave, and ventilated electronics cabinet), and a separate hallway work desk with storage and filing capacity. Most bedrooms and the media room/office have outdoor patio access. Don't miss the elegant powder room with hand-carve
