Palin sells Valley home

A Scottsdale mansion owned by a corporation tied to Sarah Palin has sold for $6.2 million.

A Scottsdale mansion owned by a corporation tied to Sarah Palin recently sold for $6.2 million, according to property records.

Palin, former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate, has used a Delaware LLC called Safari Investments to buy and sell homes in the Phoenix area since 2011, after campaigning as John McCain’s vice-presidential nominee.

The 7,660-square-foot home has four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms in the coveted Silverleaf neighborhood of north Scottsdale.

Before the sale was complete, the home’s listing described the construction underway, with features including walls of glass, a gourmet chef ’s kitchen, a negative edge pool, an elevator and a collector car garage.

Palin has bought and sold several homes under the Safari Investments moniker during the last decade.

Palin and her husband, Todd, paid $1.75 million for a six-bedroom Scottsdale home in 2011, three years after her stint as a vice-presidential nominee and while she was rumored to be considering a 2012 run for the White House.

In 2016, she sold the upscale 7,900square-foot mansion near Pinnacle Peak for $2.275 million.

Richard Barker, the couple’s listing agent at the time, said they were “just not here enough to enjoy a house that big.”

Yet Safari Investments purchased the vacant land in Silverleaf in 2015 for $937,000.

In 2010, Palin’s daughter Bristol bought a home in Pinal County for $172,000, but sold it in 2012 for $175,000.

According to documents that were the subject of news reports earlier this year, Palin and husband Todd Palin were filing for divorce. Court documents indicated that Todd Palin asked to dissolve the 31-year marriage, citing “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”

The home was listed by Ryan Bailey and Patrick Bailey of Platinum Living Realty.

Standing Rock Construction LLC, a custom Arizona homebuilder run by Arthur Luhrs, built the home.
