Peek inside the home with a record sales price.

Congratulations are in order not only to the owners who have just bought this 14,150 square foot estate in Paradise Valley, AZ,  but congratulations to its sellers (who by the way, created an elegant yet homey ambiance.) Yes, congratulations to both because the sale price of $12.75 million- is record setting.

"It was a such a pleasure to show this incredible property and I never doubted for a second that we would get the desired price for it," says listing agent Robert Joffe of The Joffe Group." Everyone who walked through the door was awestruck by the combination of luxury and livability. I’m thrilled that both the buyers and sellers, who were both truly honorable people, came away feeling satisfied with the transaction." 

Along with the luxuries of a decked out fitness center with a steam room and sauna - and the home theatre in this 7 bedroom abode - - - there’s an 800 bottle wine cellar. Not to mention an 11 car motor court!
