Exceptional “lock ‘n leave”, open “Great Room” plan townhome with incredible panoramic views from south to north in Desert Mountain’s Apache Cottages II. Overlooks the first hole on the Apache course with lots of grass, city light, sunset and McDowell Mountain views. Short walk to the Desert Mountain Club’s Apache Clubhouse, Apache’s practice range and the first tee. The most popular “Tierra” plan, with the same materials and finishes as the original Tierra model home. Two bedrooms and a den, three baths. No interior steps. Spa, with community pool a short walk away. Furniture and accessories available separately. Air-conditioned garage. Would make a great rental property. Membership in the Desert Mountain Club not included, but available through the Club. See more. * Desert Mountain is a twenty-eight-year-old, 8,200 acre, nationally recognized, gated recreational community located in far north Scottsdale, about a fifty-minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. In addition to a very comfortable year 'round climate, clean air, a fifteen-mile private trail system for property owners (see below), and the protection of a vigilant HOA with rigorous Design Guidelines, living in Desert Mountain also provides very convenient access to the facilities of The Desert Mountain Club, a private club owned and governed by its Members, with a long list of amenities including six Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses (along with four very well-designed golf practice ranges), six clubhouses with eight restaurants, one of the best golf performance centers in the country for swing analysis, lessons, club fitting, and repairs. Membership in the Club is not included in the purchase price but is available upon successful application to the Club. A variety of membership plans are available.
One of the Club's clubhouses, the Sonoran Clubhouse, is the Club's swim, tennis, fitness and spa facility. A $12,000,000 expansion and renovation of that facility was completed in October 2016 to much acclaim. Since then, six pickleball courts have been added, along with a golf croquet court and a bocce ball court. It is now a remarkable amenity, adding tremendous value and enjoyment to the community's Club Members, be they residents or not.
The previously mentioned trail system is located at the back of the community, in and on top of the Continental Mountains, providing remarkable hiking and mountain biking opportunities for all Desert Mountain property owners. (The Club operates luxury camping and horseback riding operations in the area, too, for extra fun). The trail system is on land that abuts the Tonto National Forest, second largest in the United States, and rises to close to 5,000', providing opportunities for great exercise, comradery with friends and family, and astonishing views many miles in all directions.
Desert Mountain is in the foothills of the Continental Mountains in north Scottsdale. The nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek provide most of the shopping Desert Mountain residents need within about a ten-minute drive of the Front Gate. Over the years, Desert Mountain has attracted people from all over the United States and Canada, plus a few from the UK and Germany. It is an extraordinarily notable community of its type, if not unique in the entire United States, and deserves thorough evaluation by anyone looking for a gated community lifestyle in Arizona.
