Beautiful home in a great location
Initially we were a bit skeptical about the location of this property however it turned out to be perfect for access to recreation opportunities and not to far from town for restaurants and groceries. The views are gorgeous and we enjoyed the wildlife activity out the back door.

Quiet Oasis
Wonderful home in a quiet area tucked between McDowell and Tonto Forest but close enough to North Scottsdale, Cave Creek, etc. If you like the feeling of being remote but with all the amenities of a new home then this is a must stay. I will be back!
