Bacon was able to design the home without the typical outside direction of a developer or buyer and as a result; it is a true masterpiece of architectural art, destined to be the finest home of its type in Desert Mountain and one of the most distinctive homes in the country.\u00a0\u00a0A complete collection of furnishings and housewares curated by Bacon is also available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desert Mountain is an 8,200-acre, 33-year-old luxury community in the spectacular High Sonoran Desert with elevations ranging up to nearly 5,000 feet.\u00a0On the south-facing slopes of the Continental Mountain range in north Scottsdale, Desert Mountain overlooks Phoenix, Scottsdale and the entire Valley of the Sun.\u00a0 Membership is optional in the community\u2019s private club, known as The Desert Mountain Club.\u00a0Among many other things, club members enjoy the private use of seven golf courses, seven clubhouses, and nine dining venues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bacon House offers long-range, panoramic views of hundreds of square miles of fabulous Arizona scenery, including famed Pinnacle Peak in the McDowell Mountains to the southeast, a carpet of city lights to the south on the valley floor at night, nearby Lone and Black Mountains, several layered mountain ranges to the southwest, and of course, a sky-full of Arizona\u2019s famous sunsets.\u00a0Homes for all the lots in the view shed of The Bacon House have been completed so there is no uncertainty about the views from this home.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

will be built on lot No. 107 in a custom home Village in Desert Mountain known as the Saguaro Forest, named for the abundance of naturally occurring ancient, giant Saguaro cacti&#8211;including 38 on this lot.\u00a0 All the Villages in Desert Mountain are special, but the Saguaro Forest is physically the largest with over 300 homesites and it has the greatest concentration of Desert Mountain\u2019s most expensive homes.\u00a0 Individual owners in Desert Mountain have invested as much as $38,000,000 in homes designed and built for their own use.\u00a0For an investment of $13,000,000 (unfurnished), the buyer of The Bacon House at Desert Mountain can take great comfort knowing that, not only is their home not the most expensive home on the block, but also that they own an exceptional example of timeless architectural art that should grow in value over time, and not diminish in value as is the fate of so many homes designed based on a current fashion.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main floor of The Bacon House is 3,201.5 feet above sea level and about 2,000 feet above the valley floor, affording a comfortable year-round climate. The home\u2019s solar orientation and solar specific design will make for pleasant outdoor experiences even in the height of summer, when the sun is going down much further to the north and nighttime temperatures are typically 15 to 20 degrees cooler than what is recorded and reported at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The home\u2019s southern exposure is by far the most favored orientation in Desert Mountain, not only because it is the direction in which the long-range views live, but also because homes with south exposures are sunnier, brighter and warmer in the winter than homes facing north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bacon calls the design an \u201cHomage to Early Modernism\u201d and describes it as a seminal accomplishment, achieving a balance of open, casual, and spacious modernity, with a welcoming, warm, and intimate ambiance&#8211;all superbly arranged to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and all manner of entertaining for a family or for a couple simply wishing to enjoy a quiet retreat immersed in art.\u00a0 The quality of design, coupled with the best of materials and construction quality, a lush desert setting, panoramic views, and convenient location will render The Bacon House at Desert Mountain a remarkable long-term value for its owner, an example of true legacy real estate sure to be enjoyed by generations of proud family members.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"422\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-80x45.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-7958 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-750x422.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-620x349.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW-257x144.jpg 257w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135332\/THE-BACON-HOUSE-OUTDOOR-LIVING-VIEW.jpg 1500w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Design highlights include two, opposing two-car garages, barely visible from the street and equipped with custom cabinetry; a wonderful design that shows off more and more of the home\u2019s design magic as one gets closer and closer to the home, and then enters it, through a beautiful beveled glass door; a central atrium with operable windows; a large recreation room with wet bar and a 2,000-bottle wine storage room; a fabulous junior master suite; washers and dryers in all bathrooms; a multi-purpose \u201claundry\/craft\/office\u201d room (with great views!); a fresh air \u201ccigar porch\u201d; a large air-conditioned storage room; glass block flooring on the main level to admit more light into the lower level, making it bright and cheerful; and an extra-large commercial quality elevator to get back and forth between the two levels.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity to be a member of the Desert Mountain Club is a significant part of the attraction of living in Desert Mountain for most property owners.\u00a0The Club is the emotional, physical and social core of the community.\u00a0 In addition to the Club\u2019s golf assets, which include six eighteen-hole championship Jack Nicklaus Signature courses;\u00a0one eighteen-ho<s>le <\/s>USGA-rated, par-54 course; four practice ranges, and a high-tech golf performance center, there is a hugely popular 20-mile-long private trail system reaching an altitude of 4,890 feet available to all residents (hike, bike, run, or ride a horse).\u00a0The trailhead is about a five-minute drive from The Bacon House.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"338\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-80x36.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-7959 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-750x338.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-750x338.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-380x171.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-800x361.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-1160x523.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-80x36.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-620x279.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18-850x383.jpg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25135340\/DM-COCHISE-18.jpg 1500w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The center of activity at the Club is the Sonoran Clubhouse, a remarkable swim (three heated pools), tennis (nine courts, including one grass, five Har-Tru, and three cushioned surface hard courts), pickleball (six courts), bocce (two courts), croquet (two courts), fitness (a large, fitness center with a range of classes and private trainers), and spa facility, plus a dining facility.\u00a0Very popular programs including sports instruction are also offered for children and grandchildren.\u00a0 The Sonoran Clubhouse enjoyed a $12,000,000 renovation in 2016 before the bocce, croquet, and pickleball courts were added the next year.\u00a0 It is now perhaps the premier facility of its type in the entire Southwest.\u00a0The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is about a five-minute drive to the Sonoran Clubhouse, and within a 550-yard walk to another clubhouse, the one serving the Chiricahua Golf Course.\u00a0 This clubhouse\u2019s dining option is Constantino\u2019s, the Club\u2019s signature restaurant, serving fine northern Italian cuisine in an elegant setting with 80-mile views.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desert Mountain is a place of surpassing scenic beauty. For that and a lot of other reasons it has attracted full-and part-time residents from all over the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and more.\u00a0One attraction is that real estate taxes are strikingly low compared to many parts of the country, particularly the Northeast, Midwest, and California. 2019 taxes on the closest comparable home (7,545 square feet, sold in May of 2019 for $9,300,000) were just $19,810.\u00a0The weather is famously sunny, and our risk of natural disasters is extremely low.\u00a0 Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night and the air is typically much cleaner than what lies over the Valley.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desert Mountain\u2019s Front Gate is normally about a forty-minute drive north from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and about a twenty-one-minute drive to the main private jet terminal at Scottsdale Airport (Signature Flight Support).\u00a0\u00a0 Day-to-day shopping needs for Desert Mountain owners are well-handled within about a ten-minute drive to the merchants in the nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek.\u00a0 There are 69 restaurants and bars within about sixteen minutes\u2019 drive of the Main Gate.\u00a0 Otherwise, the Phoenix\/Scottsdale area is famous for world-class shopping, major league and collegiate sports (including baseball Spring Training and the Waste Management Phoenix Golf Open), terrific air service, and a wide variety of cultural attractions and special events (huge car auctions in January and February horse shows among them).\u00a0Desert Mountain is within two and a half hours of normally excellent snow skiing in Flagstaff.\u00a0 Its location in the southwestern part of the United States affords easy access to the entire American West, with especially easy access to San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and a plethora of unbelievably beautiful places in Southern Utah.\u00a0 \u201cParadise\u201d doesn\u2019t overstate it.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against this backdrop of privacy, service, beauty and recreation, The Bacon House at Desert Mountain really is \u201cthe opportunity of a lifetime\u201d for some fortunate family.\u00a0 We will welcome the opportunity to meet interested parties to help them understand the home&#8211;and help them learn all about the community, the Club, and the area!
