A custom estate tucked along the base of Camelback Mountain has hit the market for $5.5 million, offering panoramic views of the Valley, expansive indoor living spaces and a backyard designed for enjoying Arizona’s outdoors. The 7,100-square-foot residence sits on 1.18 acres and is represented by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties Realtor Michael Braden.
“This home really takes advantage of its setting along Camelback Mountain,” Braden said. “You have privacy, elevated views over Arcadia and a spacious single-level floor plan that makes the home comfortable for both everyday living and entertaining.”
A sweeping circular driveway winds through the gated property, passing desert landscaping before reaching the residence and its three-car garage. Set against the hillside, the home offers a private setting with elevated views. Inside, 15-foot ceilings create an airy atmosphere throughout the main living spaces.
Hand-applied Venetian plaster and imported Italian travertine tile add texture and sophistication, while fireplaces in the living and family room provide inviting gathering spots. The home is arranged on one level without interior steps, creating a layout that connects the living spaces while allowing for separation and privacy.
The estate includes four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half-bath, with en suite accommodations throughout. A dedicated office could serve as a fifth bedroom, while a separate en suite casita offers additional privacy for overnight guests. The primary suite comes complete with its own fireplace.
“Every part of the residence feels considered,” Braden said. “There’s room to gather, retreat and host guests without any one space feeling disconnected from the rest of the home.”
Additional amenities include a home theater and a temperature-controlled bottle cellar, offering options for movie nights and entertaining at home. Outside, covered patios stretch along the home, creating shaded areas for outdoor dining, relaxing and gathering. The backyard takes advantage of the hillside location, with a heated negative-edge pool that appears to spill toward the Valley below.
A spa sits beside the pool, while lawn areas soften the desert landscaping. A putting green and built-in barbecue round out the outdoor amenities. The property’s 1.18 acres also offer room for future possibilities, including a guest house, studio or expanded motor court, subject to applicable approvals.
The Camelback Mountain estate combines the privacy of a hillside setting with convenient access to the surrounding Phoenix area. For more, visit 4836 E White Gates Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85018.
