From the moment the gates open at 10201 E Happy Valley Road, it becomes clear—this is not simply a home, but a cinematic experience. Rising gracefully on nearly five flat acres of prime Scottsdale terrain, this custom-designed Italian-style villa captures the soul of la dolce vita, reimagined for the Arizona desert.
Designed by renowned architect Edward Chavez, the estate commands 360-degree mountain and city views, creating an ever-changing tapestry of sunrises over Pinnacle Peak and twinkling lights from the valley floor. Every inch of its 11,552 square feet is tailored for privacy, pleasure, and architectural grandeur.
Rooted in Tuscan inspiration but adapted for desert living, the home’s warm stone exterior, arched doorways, and terracotta tile details evoke a timeless Mediterranean estate. Step inside and the drama unfolds: soaring ceilings, custom ironwork, and hand-finished millwork frame elegant living and entertaining spaces, while curated sightlines draw the eye to the beauty just beyond the glass.
The chef ’s kitchen is a dream for gourmands and hosts alike—anchored by a massive stone island, state-of-the-art appliances, and a full butler’s pantry. Adjacent is a climate-controlled wine cellar, perfect for your Barolos and Brunellos, while a formal dining room and multiple living areas invite guests to linger over candlelight and conversation.
The six bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, are sanctuaries in their own right. The primary suite is especially magnificent, featuring a sitting area, spa-like bath, and access to a private patio for morning espresso or midnight stargazing. Additional guest quarters provide comfort and independence for extended family or live-in staff.
And while the interiors whisper elegance, the lifestyle offerings sing: A movie theater with plush seating. A cigar bar exuding old-world charm. A fitness room, game room, and expansive bonus spaces for every passion or pursuit. For the collector, the garage accommodates 11+ vehicles, with room for lifts—an automotive enthusiast’s fantasy.
Step outdoors and the home becomes a resort. The sparkling pool and spa are surrounded by shaded lounge areas, a dining pavilion, and open-air terraces with unobstructed views stretching to the McDowell Mountains. Every detail—from landscape lighting to breeze-cooled patios—has been orchestrated to create a private desert paradise.
Located in Scottsdale’s prestigious Eagle Gilbert subdivision, and served by the acclaimed Cave Creek Unified School District, this home offers both luxury and lifestyle. With the Beverly Hills of the Southwest just minutes away—world-class golf, dining, and hiking—and the airport a quick drive down the 101, convenience meets tranquility at every turn.
10201 E Happy Valley Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 is now offered. Price upon request.
