Open By Appointment Only: Santa Barbara-Style Estate in View-Rich Ancala
Boasting a prize perch high above the Valley, this exquisitely appointed estate enjoys panoramic south-facing views of Camelback Mountain as well as a stunning every-night scene of shimmering city lights. Nestled inside guard-gated Ancala, one of Scottsdale’s most prestigious subdivisions, the home has been masterfully transformed by the award-winning design team of Esther Boivin Interiors and Tony Sutton of Est Est.
Upon arrival, take a moment to savor the sight of the home’s privately gated motor court and dramatic porte-cochere entry, while a step across the threshold reveals grand gathering areas graced with custom murals and gorgeous goldfoiled hand-painted ceiling motifs. Imported chandeliers, braided-stone columns, soaring archways, towering multi-story view-windows and a wealth of magnificent stonework add to this jewel’s contemporary European ambience.
Ideal for showcasing your culinary talents, the gourmet kitchen is dressed with high-end accoutrements including beautiful natural Quartzite counters. Flattered by intricately scrolled accents, a breathtaking staircase ascends to the sumptuous master retreat, host to a luxurious bedroom, a pampering bath and an expansive view-balcony with access to the resort-style rear grounds. Meanwhile, the lower level features a guest suite, media room and exercise room. A sampling of additional interior amenities includes an executive office/library with floor-to-ceiling built-ins.
Alfresco amenities are equally sublime, including an elegant pool, a heated spa and a short-gamer’s dream putting green. Along with a clubhouse, tennis courts and more, Ancala Country Club shows off with a Dye-designed championship golf course. MLS#6001208. 5BD; 8.5BA; 6,518SF.
