Description
Set on over 2 acres in the prestigious Thunder Mountain community of Northeast Mesa, this EXCEPTIONAL HILLSIDE ESTATE commands the largest lot in the neighborhood. Perched above it all, the property extends up the mountainside, offering a rare sense of privacy and scale while capturing SWEEPING VIEWS of glowing sunsets, sparkling city lights, and surrounding mountain vistas. Expansive picture windows frame the beauty at every turn, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while reflecting a refined blend of contemporary and territorial architecture. Multiple balconies offer varied vantage points, each capturing a unique perspective of the breathtaking surroundings. A stone-clad patio deck anchors the outdoor living space, where a negative-edge pool and spa with dramatic fire pots overlook the twinkling city lights and blooming desert below. The private driveway leads to an expansive motor court with additional guest parking and access to two garages, creating a grand arrival. The formal entry features an arched iron and glass door opening to a stunning living space with exquisite large-format marble tile floors, soaring 23-foot ceilings, striking architectural details, and a wall of windows.
Upon entry, a glass wall frames the awe-inspiring views that stretch for miles, with automated shades for comfort throughout the day. The grand kitchen is a true showpiece, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. It features a separate wet bar with beverage refrigerator, dual islands with high-grade granite, and a striking alcove centered around a 60" Viking gas range with double ovens and a pot filler. Additional highlights include a warming oven, dual sinks, and separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units, all complemented by a pot filler, glass-tiled backsplash, and rich knotty alder cabinetry.
A formal dining room with an arched window invites lush desert scenery into the space, while a domed ceiling adds architectural drama. The game room offers access to the exterior patio and is ideal for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, sit-up counter, and additional beverage refrigerator. Enjoy your favorite movies or sports in the fully equipped home theatre, featuring three rows of adjustable reclining seating, dimmable lighting, and premium sound.
The owner's suite is privately situated in its own wing, featuring authentic wood flooring and an interior balcony that overlooks the main living space below. Expansive windows and French doors lead to a large, private balcony--the perfect setting to take in captivating views of the Phoenix skyline, surrounding mountain vistas, and the lush Sonoran Desert. The spa-inspired ensuite bath showcases marble flooring and a jetted soaking tub wrapped in marble, complemented by elegant Italian Danze plumbing fixtures. A grand walk-in shower features floor-to-ceiling marble and multiple polished chrome shower heads and body sprays, creating a truly indulgent experience. A generous vanity with dual Kohler sinks and custom cabinetry provides ample storage, while the spacious owner's closet is thoughtfully designed with custom shelving and a center island for both function and style.
A dramatic office showcases a soaring ceiling, custom built-in shelving, and a rolling ladder, creating a refined and inspiring workspace. The home offers exceptional flexibility with two guest bedrooms on the main level, including a casita-style suite with a separate entrance and private living room, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. An additional guest suite is located on the upper level, and all bedrooms feature ensuite baths for ultimate comfort and privacy. A dedicated exercise room or yoga studio with mirrored walls completes the home's thoughtfully designed living spaces.
The custom estate features two separate garages with newly finished epoxy-coated floors, additional storage rooms, and ample space to accommodate more than four vehicles--including oversized vehicles, a boat, or a small travel trailer.
The backyard is the true pièce de résistance of the estate--an extraordinary, resort-caliber retreat designed to captivate. A recently resurfaced negative-edge pool and spa take center stage, illuminated by color-changing LED lighting and perfectly positioned to frame breathtaking city lights and mountain views. A dramatic water feature and slide create a striking, elevated entry into the pool, blending architectural beauty with resort-style fun. Multiple lounge areas and a built-in BBQ invite effortless entertaining, all set within a setting that feels both private and awe-inspiring.
Thunder Mountain is an exclusive gated sanctuary of 128 custom homesites with generous desert preserve spaces to promote the tranquility and beauty of the Desert uplands. A private park features two lit tennis/pickleball courts, basketball court, multiple covered seating areas and a tot lot.
Far away, yet close to everything! Thunder Mountain is located just minutes from Usery Mountain Park, top hiking/biking trails, Salt River Reccreation (kayaking, paddling, tubing, fishing), Saguaro Lake and just 1 hour from the cool pines of Tuscon. An easy commute to Sky Harbor Airport, Old Town Scottsdale, ASU, Phoenix and near top-rated schools.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchools super disgusting. The ladies up front are very rude. The principal makes up excuses today I had a incident where I literally asked for the principal and she started freaking out telling me I can’t call my kids out the last 10 minutes, I was there 1 minutes before that 350. The principal then came out and made up excuses for her, then told me I need to check myself super disgusting. I even told him he should watch the cameras. I’m calling the district you can’t take responsibility for your disrespectful employees it’s not the first time I have had issues. But also my daughter said after we left that the lady is super rude to her and the other kids- when she went to inform the attendance lady that she was being bullied and other by a student- that the lady turned her away and basically told her she didn’t care and get over it.Parent Review6mo ago - Las Sendas Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageElementary school is an essential foundation for every child’s academic and social development. As a parent of a current student, I can confidently say that my child’s elementary school experience has been one of the most memorable and valuable periods of her life. One of the things I appreciate the most about this school is the teachers. They are patient, kind, and passionate about their work. They always take the time to explain concepts and answer questions, which is making her learning enjoyable and engaging. The teachers also organized many activities and events that have helped her develop teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. Another aspect of my child’s elementary school that I love is the sense of community. The school is like a big family, and everyone looks out for one another. We have had many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities such as music, chess club, lego club, drawing, and running club which has helped her make friends and discover new interests. Overall, our experience at Las Sendas elementary school has been one that we will cherish. It is providing a solid foundation for my child’s academic and social development, and I am grateful for the many wonderful memories and experiences that are there. I am a firm believer that every child deserves a high-quality elementary education that prepares them for success in life, and Las Sendas Elementary is certainly achieving this goal.Parent Review3y ago - Red Mountain High School
