A contemporary hillside residence in Paradise Valley’s Paradise Reserve community has closed at $12.25 million, underscoring the continued strength of the Valley’s luxury real estate market. The sale, represented by Compass agent Chris Karas, set a new price-per-square-foot record for a home of its age; an indicator that thoughtfully designed, well-situated properties remain highly sought after.
Spanning 6,318 square feet, the home offers four bedrooms and six bathrooms, all positioned to take full advantage of views across Paradise Valley and the surrounding landscape. Despite its elevated vantage point, the property maintains a sense of privacy and quiet.
Architecturally, the home has clean, contemporary lines softened by natural materials, including stone and rich wood elements that bring warmth and depth to the interiors. A dramatic staircase creates an immediate focal point upon entry, setting the tone for a residence that is both refined and inviting.
Expansive sliding glass doors open the main living areas to a covered patio and landscaped yard, where outdoor fireplaces and an infinity-edge pool extend the home’s living space into the open air. The layout is designed to maximize natural light while creating a connection between indoor and outdoor environments.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a drop-down screen and projection system that transforms the space into a comfortable escape. A spa-inspired bathroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a secluded outdoor jacuzzi further elevate the experience, while panoramic views reinforce the home’s connection to its surroundings.
Additional accommodations include two guest suites with access to private patios, as well as a dedicated office space designed to support remote work without compromising comfort.
The property also features a detached guest house equipped with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom, offering flexibility for extended stays, visitors, or live-in staff. Karas noted that buyers in Paradise Valley continue to prioritize a combination of architecture, views, and privacy.
“Paradise Reserve has something homebuyers have a hard time finding elsewhere,” Karas said. “Beyond an enviable hillside location, this home has contemporary features and finishes, a timeless design, and a sense of quiet and serenity that’s hard to come by in the Valley.”
As demand for elevated, design-forward properties persists, this record-setting transaction reflects a broader trend: in Paradise Valley, homes that successfully marry setting, style, and livability continue to define the upper tier of the market. Learn more at azhomes.com.
