Water jets sparkle under the desert sun and firelight glows against white stucco walls at this sleek-outside, welcoming-inside retreat in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. Though its ranch-style layout looks low profile, the villa’s rooms stretch out beneath soaring wood-paneled ceilings. From its setting in sought-after Arcadia, it’s a few minutes to Scottsdale’s trails, golf, and shopping.

Walls shield the villa’s backyard from view, making it feel like a private resort, without getting in the way of the mountain views. Spend sunny days in a lounger by the heated pool and hot tub and competing on the bocce and putting areas. Come nightfall, heat up the barbecue for an alfresco dinner and watch the stars come out from around the 4 firepits.

At the heart of the property’s 7,500 square feet is an open-concept great room that encompasses 2 living areas, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with a wide breakfast bar. A vaulted wood-paneled ceiling, fireplace, and cognac leather accents add warmth to the airy space, while neon art is a playful surprise in one corner.

Though it’s known for its tree-lined streets and quiet, family-friendly vibe, the Arcadia neighborhood also makes a great holiday base, thanks to its location just 3 minutes from Old Town Scottsdale and 15 minutes from downtown Phoenix. Take a picnic to one of the nearby parks, sample the treats at local bakeries, and tee off at the 4 golf courses within a 10-minute drive.
