Close your eyes and envision your dream home. If an old world, character-filled Spanish ranch appears, snuggled into mountain foothills on a privately gated lot with sweeping mountain vistas . . . and room to garage 8 cars, you've found Paradise! This single-level, no-step home has a great room floor plan with 4 en suite bedrooms, plus an office, and a coveted full-home solar system that brings electric bills down to negligible. It's in prestigious, gated Eagle Ridge, where new homes are approaching $3 million, and is on the best acre+ mountain view lot in the community. This field stone clad home evokes a Spanish ranch from years gone by. Open the wrought iron front door and you're enveloped by sweeping vistas from the Mazatzal Range to Four Peaks to sacred, stunning Red Mountain. Craftsmanship is celebrated in every room. The kitchen's custom two-tone knotty alder cabinetry hides a Sub-Zero fridge, Fisher and Paykel dish drawers and plentiful storage. The breakfast room is wrapped with butted glass windows that bring the incredible views inside.

Old world details create a home with character not seen in new builds. The entrance is delineated with a hand-painted, domed lighted ceiling above a graceful chandelier; the dining room is crowned by a stunning groin vault, boveda ceiling above a tiered candelabra chandelier. In the office, a stacked field stone fireplace, rustic wood floor, French doors and hand-hewn ceiling beams create a calming ambiance for working or dreaming, while thoughtful new built-ins offer function and an abundance of storage so necessary in our new work-at-home lifestyle.

Hand-carved Cantera stone fireplaces warm the great room and dining room. Chiseled-edge travertine laid in a Versailles pattern underscores all main rooms, baths and the deep back patio, while wood floors grace all bedrooms but the master where carpet provides a soft landing beneath the stunning character of wide wood crown molding backlight for ambiance. The spacious master bath separates his and her vanities and features a large snail walk-in shower and a separate, jetted tub. Each guest bedroom offers luxury with en suite bathrooms and walk-in closets with built-in organizers. The 4th bedroom is casita-style with French doors opening to a private patio on the motor court.

Outside, the magical view takes center stage. The extra deep patio is ideal for our perfect central Arizona winter climate and features multiple outdoor living zones. A stacked field stone fireplace provides a focal point for a conversation group, a sunset dinner is served overlooking the pool, spa and stunning mountain views, and indoor features are brought outside with chiseled edge travertine underfoot, stacked stone columns and a tongue and groove wood ceiling with fans.

The 2532 square foot garage - larger than many homes - offers a multitude of space to showcase your car collection or share the space with a spacious home gym-combo-playroom as the owners did. The new Classy Closets credenza and cabinets convey, and most furnishings and accessories are available to the buyer via separate bill of sale independently or as a turn-key purchase. Some personal property will convey to the buyer at no charge. Don't let this unique, character-filled Spanish ranch sell before your tour! See and enjoy it today!
