Designed for an ultimate restorative desert escape, the home offers a range of relaxation and activity.

AZ TPT License: 21477813 Paradise Valley STR License: STR-00004A * Ideal for Cactus League Spring Training home base, home is centrally located for easy freeway access to all Cactus League Spring Training facilities (see map) * The "Saguaro Canyon" retreat was completely reimagined and renovated in 2023 and is nestled in a peaceful, lush 1.5-acre canyon in Paradise Valley, Arizona, an exclusive enclave in the middle of Phoenix|Scottsdale, yet just minutes from 6 golf courses, and 3 hiking trails. If you plan to visit for restoration and relaxation, this is the ideal spot to restore and recharge; if, however, your plans for the house involve party decorations, balloon arches, drinking games, or 3 a.m. pool parties, this is definitely not the place for you. As you drive into your own private resort, you'll be greeted by a stunning specimen of the Saguaro cactus, or the "Queen of the Desert." This beauty proudly displays 6 arms (home to numerous families of cactus wrens) and is easily more than 100 years old. If you look up into the mountains in all directions, you'll notice the presence of hundreds more of these desert beauties. As you move through the double doors into the private front courtyard, you'll notice subtle Japanese design queues in both the lush landscaping and architectural details. Professionally decorated with cool tones and Scandinavian simplicity, each rooms boasts views of the surrounding desert scenery and plants. The main floor features a gym/lounge/office complete with dedicated workspace, home gym with Peloton® (with regular gym shoes adaptor so no need to wear riding shoes), free weights, straps, kettle balls and yoga mats, and a lounge area with board games; a massive dining table with seating for 10; a full kitchen with gas range, breakfast table and attached full laundry room; a living room with bar and stone fireplace; a double-Queen bedroom with private walled outdoor living room and outdoor shower and en-suite bathroom with shower; and 2 King bedrooms each of which share a full bathroom with tub/shower combination. The second-floor master bedroom features a private view terrace, King bed, walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The professionally landscaped grounds feature a shaded outdoor living room with views of the pool, canyon and city lights; a dining table with seating for 8 and an outdoor kitchen with gas grill, cooktop and refrigerator. Perched above the wash with a young Saguaro overhead, the heated pool (available for an extra fee of $95/night) boasts plenty of lounge seating and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The grounds also feature a real grass play area (and corn hole), and a wide array of plantings that showcase the range of color, beauty and adaptation of native Sonoran plants. And should you wish to leave the confines of the retreat, there are countless eateries, cocktail bars and entertainment just a few minutes' drive away in the Biltmore and Arcadia areas, or in Scottsdale. Pool heating is available for an additional $95/day, which will give you a guaranteed 84 degree water temperature. Since we have a high-output gas heater, we can heat the pool 24/7 whereas heat-pump water heaters do not operate at night when the air temperatures drop below 40. Pool heat needs to be elected for the entirety of stay. No partial heat days are accepted. Must give 48 hour notice if pool heat is elected. We also offer professional chef, as well as on-site massage and private yoga instructor services through several preferred partners. Chef Trenita is professionally trained and can do everything from a curated meal for two prepared on site, to meal delivery. Sebastian, our masseuse, is expert at deep tissue massage and restorative treatments and can set up inside, or outdoors. And Shawnee can guide you through a restorative yoga class anywhere on the grounds.
