Description

Located in the desirable Rancho Paloma community in Cave Creek, this home offers the kind of Arizona lifestyle buyers are searching for. Rancho Paloma is known for its peaceful desert setting, mountain views, walking paths, nearby hiking trails, and quiet atmosphere that feels removed from the city while still offering convenience. Residents enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation, golf courses, and nearby destinations like Bartlett Lake and The rBoulders. One of the biggest advantages of this location is how close it is to everyday amenities. Desert Ridge, North Phoenix, and Scottsdale are all just a short drive away, giving you quick access to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, grocery stores, and freeway access while still enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of Cave Creek. Inside, the home features a spacious open floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen includes a large island, granite countertops, gas cooktop, abundant cabinetry, and overlooks the main living areas for an open, connected feel. The home also features an enclosed downstairs den/bedroom perfect for a home office or flex space, an upstairs loft, upstairs laundry room, oversized secondary bedrooms, plantation shutters throughout, and an exceptional amount of storage and closet space.

Outside, the backyard has been beautifully upgraded with travertine pavers, artificial turf, well cared for vegetation, and a peaceful water feature creating a private outdoor retreat. Both the front and backyard are designed for low maintenance living, and the HOA maintains the front yard landscaping, making this a great lock-and-leave option or easy care home for busy homeowners.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 84% nearby.

    "My family has lived here since 1999 and we find everything a family or people at any age could want. Great public schools, clean, safe, friendly neighborhoods, easy highway access and numerous restaurants and entertainment locations within a few miles. Many of the major hospitals supporting Phoenix are located within a few miles; Mayo (2), Paradise Valley (5), and Scottsdale (10). Many miles of trails supporting hiking and biking. At one time this was a road bikers paradise ... not so much now with all the traffic developed north of our location."

What a delightful pocket community snugged up against the Mountains, yet immediate access to the 101 and 51 for fast transportation to Scottsdale, downtown Phoenix or, well, anywhere. Happy community of friendly neighbors who love living around an elementary and junior high school which are the center of the planned community. Costco a mile away, tons of shopping, especially Desert Ridge Regional Shopping Center is one exit away."
