39122 N 99th Pl., Scottsdale, AZ 85262

Spacious 3,067 s.f. townhome with recent updates including new carpet, new tile in master bath, new plumbing fixtures and new landscaping. This home is well located in one of Desert Mountain's more southerly ''Villages'', a short drive to a recently remodeled Safeway, a Target and Office Max. Within Desert Mountain, the Sonoran Fitness Club/Spa and Café Verde is a 7-minute walk and The Renegade driving range, restaurant and pro-shop is a 12-minute walk. This ''Great Room'' plan home has three en-suite bedrooms, ideal for guests. The home has two fireplaces, and excellent internet reception for remote workers, including the patio area. This is a great value and is a well-maintained home for a buyer that wants to stick their toe in the water of the Desert Mountain lifestyle. Desert Mountain, a highly acclaimed, thirty-four-year-old, 8,200 acre, gated, outdoor recreation-oriented master planned development, is on the northern edge of Scottsdale, Arizona, about forty-five minutes north of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport at approx. 3,000' ASL, perfect for year 'round use. The membership-optional Desert Mountain Club serves the community with seven golf courses, nine dining venues, and seven clubhouses. One of the Clubhouses is the "Sonoran Clubhouse", the Club's swim, tennis, fitness, pickleball, croquet, and bocce center. It underwent a $12,000,000 remodeling that was completed in 2016, including the addition of a restaurant, and then had six pickleball, two croquet, and two bocce courts put in the next summer. It is now one of the nicest facilities of its type anywhere in the Southwest. The opportunity to be a Club Member is a huge benefit of living in Desert Mountain for most property owners. It is the emotional, physical, and social "core" of the place, rightfully internationally famous as a golf mecca, with six eighteen-hole championship Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, four practice ranges, a high-tech golf performance center, and, as of Spring 2019, a seventh course, an eighteen-hole par-3 course, long enough to be rated for handicap purposes. In addition to what the Sonoran Clubhouse offers, a nearly twenty-mile-long private trail system in the mountains at the back of the property ranges up to 4,890' and is available to all residents for hiking, biking, running, and horseback riding. You can get a great workout and the views are just fantastic. The Club's nine dining venues offer a wide variety of food, wine, and atmospheres. No coats and ties required! The Club's membership is catered to relentlessly by an attentive Club staff and Concierge, providing unparalleled service. In a word, the place is "phenomenal". Desert Mountain is a place of surpassing scenic beauty with long-range, panoramic views of Phoenix, Scottsdale, the entire "Valley of the Sun", many mountain ranges near and far, and, of course, Arizona's famous sunrises and sunsets! It is successful, too, with about 1,900 finished homes ranging in size from 1,800 to over 20,000 square feet and in price from about $700,000 to $13,000,000. Over sixty homes are under construction. Individual owners have invested over $30,000,000 in their homes. It has attracted full-and part-time residents from all over North America and western Europe, most of whom seem to have made "having fun" a key priority in their lives. One thing that makes a lot of them happy is real estate taxes that are strikingly lower than what they are used to, particularly if "home" is or was in the Northeast, Midwest, or California. (2019 taxes on this home were only $5,811.14). The weather is famously sunny. Our risk of natural disasters is extremely low. Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night, the air typically much cleaner, and the daytime high temperatures about ten degrees cooler than the Valley floor, every day of the year. Summers are most enjoyable since it only gets over 100 degrees about ten or twelve days a year here, compared to ninety days at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. And, the temperatures drop fifteen to twenty degrees at night during the summer, a significant difference from life further "down the hill". The lack of humidity means 95 degrees is very comfortable, if you are sitting in the shade. So, being in Desert Mountain on a year 'round basis is a very attractive proposition. Day-to-day shopping needs for Desert Mountain owners are well-handled within about a ten-minute drive by the merchants in the nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek. There are roughly 70 restaurants and bars within about sixteen minutes' drive. Our area is famous for world-class shopping, major league and collegiate sports, terrific air service, and a wide variety of cultural attractions. Desert Mountain is within two and a half hours of normally excellent snow skiing in Flagstaff and access is easy to the entire American West, with especially easy access to San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and a plethora of unbelievably beautiful places in Southern Utah. "Paradise" doesn't overstate it. Thanks for your interest in this home. We look forward to showing it to you someday, helping you learn about the community, the Club, and the area, and helping you visualize what life here would be like for you! In the meantime, enjoy the photographs and "virtual tour" of the home, the photographs of some of the Desert Mountain Club's facilities, and the separate Document with links to a variety of useful websites.
