Privacy takes on a new meaning at 6700 E Malcomb Drive.
Tucked along a privately owned road just moments from Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive, this exceptional one-acre estate offers a rare combination of seclusion, sophisticated design, mountain views, and resort-style living in the heart of Paradise Valley.
Recently reimagined through an extensive $800,000 renovation, the approximately 7,400-square-foot residence has been thoughtfully updated for a contemporary lifestyle while preserving the scale and presence expected of a Paradise Valley estate. The single-level floor plan is designed for effortless living, with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms providing exceptional flexibility for family, guests, and entertaining.
Inside, bright, contemporary interiors create an inviting contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. At the heart of the home is a spectacular chef’s kitchen designed with gathering in mind, featuring GE Monogram appliances, a six-burner gas range, dual dishwashers, cooling drawers, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry with wine refrigeration. The result is a space equally suited to quiet mornings and lively evenings with friends and family.
Throughout the residence, the emphasis is on comfort, connection, and ease. With no interior steps, the home’s expansive layout flows naturally from one living space to the next, while views toward the surrounding mountains provide a constant reminder of the extraordinary setting.
Outside, the property truly comes to life.
The grounds have been envisioned as a private resort, with a heated pool and spa creating a natural centerpiece for Arizona’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. A generous ramada is equipped with a full outdoor kitchen—including a grill, smoker, griddle, and refrigerator—along with a fire table, misters, and heaters, allowing the space to be enjoyed in virtually every season.
And then there is the garden.
An estate orchard and raised garden beds introduce an unexpected and wonderfully personal element to the property, offering the opportunity to grow fresh produce and embrace a true farm-to-table lifestyle. It is a distinctive touch that makes this expansive estate feel not only luxurious, but deeply livable.
As the sun begins to set, the surrounding mountains become an unforgettable backdrop, transforming the outdoor spaces into an extraordinary setting for dinner, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of Paradise Valley.
6700 E Malcomb Drive is more than a luxury residence. It is a private retreat designed around the best of Arizona living—space, privacy, indoor-outdoor connection, spectacular surroundings, and the freedom to live exceptionally well.
For those seeking an estate that combines contemporary comfort with the scale and serenity of a true Paradise Valley property, this remarkable home offers an extraordinary opportunity to call one of the Valley’s most coveted settings home.
Privacy, architectural character, and an exceptional Scottsdale location converge at 7624 E Solano Drive, an impressive residence tucked within the exclusive, privately gated enclave of Camelot Reserve.
Comprising just 20 residences, Camelot Reserve offers an uncommon sense of seclusion in the heart of Scottsdale. Set directly across from Paradise Valley and just minutes from the dining, shopping, and entertainment of Old Town Scottsdale, the community provides an ideal balance of tranquility and convenience. Here, a quiet cul-de-sac setting feels worlds away from the pace of the city, while everything Scottsdale has to offer remains close at hand.
Built in 2013, the approximately 4,277-square-foot residence showcases a sophisticated Santa Barbara/Tuscan architectural influence, with warm materials and elegant proportions creating a timeless sense of place. Four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths provide generous accommodations, while the thoughtful layout is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
Inside, stone, tile, and wood flooring establish a warm foundation, while high ceilings, expansive windows, and carefully selected finishes lend the interiors an airy, elevated character. The kitchen is designed for both beauty and function, featuring quartz countertops, a substantial island, gas cooking, a built-in oven, and a walk-in pantry.
The home’s primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a separate shower and tub, and a generous walk-in closet. Throughout the residence, the connection between the interior spaces and the Arizona landscape is thoughtfully maintained.
Outside, the property takes on a distinctly resort-inspired character. A heated private pool and spa create a natural focal point for afternoons in the sun, while a covered patio and built-in barbecue provide an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The private yard offers a peaceful backdrop for enjoying Scottsdale’s celebrated year-round climate.
A three-car garage adds convenience and generous storage, while a guest house provides additional flexibility for visitors, extended stays, or private accommodations.
Yet what truly distinguishes 7624 E Solano Drive is the sense of balance it offers. It is an expansive residence without sacrificing intimacy, a private retreat without feeling removed from the city, and a sophisticated home that remains deeply connected to the landscape and lifestyle of Scottsdale.
For those seeking an exceptional home in one of Scottsdale’s most discreet communities, 7624 E Solano Drive offers an elevated expression of desert living—private, polished, and perfectly positioned.
Some homes make an impression the moment you arrive. Behind the guarded gates of Colonia Encantada, 7500 E McCormick Parkway #32 welcomes with a lush private courtyard, timeless architecture, and an inviting sense of calm that continues throughout the residence.
Set in the heart of Scottsdale, this beautifully designed single-level villa offers approximately 2,230 square feet of thoughtfully appointed living space, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile office. Recently introduced to the market at $1.575 million, the residence blends classic architectural character with elevated contemporary finishes.
Inside, natural light becomes a defining element. Skylights and clerestory windows illuminate the interiors, while a vaulted wood ceiling adds warmth and architectural interest to the living room. At the center of the home, a striking two-way fireplace creates a natural connection between the living and family rooms, establishing an inviting setting for both relaxed evenings and effortless entertaining.
The kitchen is equally considered, featuring top-of-the-line appliances and an open layout that flows naturally into the surrounding living spaces. A bright, circular office adds an unexpected architectural detail and offers a beautiful space for working, reading, or simply enjoying the natural light.
The primary suite is designed as a private sanctuary, with a spacious bath and custom closet built-ins that bring both functionality and refinement to the everyday. Throughout the residence, beautiful finishes and warm wood floors reinforce the home’s sophisticated yet comfortable character.
Beyond the interiors, the private south-facing backyard offers a lush extension of the living space. Mature vegetation creates a serene backdrop, while a built-in BBQ makes outdoor entertaining effortless. The intimate scale of the setting gives the home a distinctly residential feel—a peaceful retreat tucked within one of Scottsdale’s most desirable communities.
Life at Colonia Encantada extends well beyond the front door. Residents enjoy an array of resort-style amenities, including swimming pools, a spa, tennis courts, fitness center, clubhouse, and off-leash dog park. The community’s central Scottsdale location also places residents close to acclaimed dining, upscale shopping, golf, and the area’s many cultural and recreational destinations.
With its combination of architectural character, refined interiors, private outdoor living, and an exceptional Scottsdale location, 7500 E McCormick Parkway #32 offers a distinctive interpretation of Arizona luxury.
It is a home that feels timeless rather than trendy—beautifully considered, effortlessly livable, and perfectly suited to the Scottsdale lifestyle.
