Beautiful Estate with Mountain Views, Heated Pool, Fun Game Room, & Hot Tub!

Escape to Desert Star Estate, a spacious 5,000+ sq. ft. retreat in the North Scottsdale/Cave Creek area designed for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the Arizona sunshine.

With six bedrooms, four king beds, a private heated pool and spa, an oversized game room, fire pit, outdoor dining, and beautiful Sonoran Desert surroundings, this private estate gives families and groups plenty of room to spread out while keeping everyone together.

✓ Professionally Designed and Maintained Vacation Home
Step inside more than 5,000 square feet of bright, airy living space designed for comfort and effortless Arizona luxury. Natural light fills the home, while spacious rooms, modern furnishings, and thoughtfully selected Southwest accents create a warm, polished atmosphere.

The open living areas offer plenty of space for your group to gather comfortably, while the home’s generous layout still allows quiet moments to unwind. In the main living area, a large glass sliding door opens directly to the resort-style backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and filling the space with natural Arizona light.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and everything you need to prepare meals at home, with comfortable dining and gathering spaces nearby.

Six well-appointed bedrooms are spread across both levels of the estate, including four king bedrooms. Light-filled interiors, quality bedding and comfortable furnishings create relaxing private retreats at the end of the day. Each bedroom also features its own TV, while select rooms include an en-suite bath, a private deck, or a direct connection to another bedroom.

Upstairs, step onto the balcony with your morning coffee or unwind around the outdoor pub table while taking in the Arizona atmosphere.

✓ GAME ROOM & INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT
The dedicated game room gives your group its own space to play, relax, and spend time together. Challenge friends and family to pool, foosball, or shuffleboard; prepare drinks at the wet bar; or settle in around the oversized 85-inch TV for movies, sports, and game nights.

Game room features include:
• Pool table
• Foosball table
• Shuffleboard
• Wet bar
• 85-inch TV

✓ Enjoy Outdoor Entertainment and Balcony Mountain Views
The private backyard turns Desert Star into your own Scottsdale-area retreat. Spend sunny Arizona afternoons around the heated pool, featuring a Baja shelf with in-water lounge chairs, then relax in the spacious separate spa. When the sun goes down, gather around the outdoor fire pit, enjoy dinner outside, fire up the barbecue or challenge the group to a game of cornhole. Professionally landscaped grounds featuring native desert plants and custom metalwork create a distinctive Sonoran Desert setting with multiple areas for relaxing and spending time together.

Outdoor highlights include:

Great family trip

I can recommend this house to everyone. The house is great, and the pool was used a lot. It's not far from the store, yet you feel like you're way out in the middle of nowhere. Very friendly neighbors. Very beautiful place.

Golf Trip

Great spot for a large group. Colin was great to deal with and we had a great stay. House was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Only thing that would have made the trip better would have been an outdoor TV to watch the hockey playoffs. Would for sure stay here again.

A little oasis in the desert

House was perfect for a guy’s golf trip. Very quiet neighborhood. The backyard is beautiful. The pool was a welcome sight after a day in the hot sun. There is a large selection of spices and cooking accessories. Beds were very comfortable and the sheets were a good quality. All in all nothing negative of any note to report.

Guys golf trip

This property worked great for 8 golfers in June. There are plenty of beds and separate sleeping areas. The pool and backyard were wonderful on a hot June day after golf. It is far enough north to feel secluded but you can still drive to Fountain Hills for those golf courses. Obviously, Troon North, Grayhawk, Legend Trail and The Boulders are quite close. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable Cave creek

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was just what we expected. We had 12 in our party 8 adults and 4 kids ages 9 thru 14. The game room was an amazing asset. I had to contact the host one time, and they got back to me immediately. The reason for only 4 stars is that we wish the kitchen had a few more items for cooking, it made cooking for 12 a bit interesting. A griddle, waffle iron, or broiler. Maybe some more pots and pans, would be nice. We really loved the location of this home. Cave creek is always neat to look around. and we also took an amazing hike up the mountain. Thanks for making our week away from home so enjoyable.

Live like a princess

There were 9 women and one woman's 4 year old daughter. Here for a 3 day Christian music festival. Loved the house and property. The landscaping is amazing - best one in the neighborhood. Beds were all comfy. Everything clean. Some provisions (spices, some coffee) in kitchen. If you like large coffee mugs, you'll want to bring your own. Pool has 2 loungers in the pool. The listing says 2 beds in living room - they were actually on lowest level in the game room - just a slight discrepancy. We would rent it again.

Great group house with a few unfortunate issues

We recently enjoyed a week at this lovely property. The house is located in a quiet dirt road area surrounded by horse properties. The rooms were nice, the kitchen spacious and the pool and game room very enjoyable. Unfortunately, we had some issues with the pool not circulating, the spa emptying overnight, and the A/C not working properly. The management company did respond quickly to these issues, but solutions were slow is coming. The location was good for us as it was close to golf, some nice hikes, and many good restaurants were within 20 minutes. Despite the issues with the pool and the A/C, we still enjoyed our stay, and we could consider it again in the future.
