Set atop a ridge in the prestigious Desert Mountain community, 42690 N 98th Place is a secluded Desert Ranch Contemporary estate offering a rare combination of architectural brilliance, resort-style amenities, and the coveted Golf Membership opportunity. Perched on nearly 15 private acres, this exceptional home was strategically positioned in a linear fashion to embrace unobstructed southern exposure and deliver breathtaking Mountain, Valley, and City Light views from every room.
Crafted with artistic precision, this estate is a testament to unparalleled design and craftsmanship. Originally envisioned by renowned architect Terry Kilbane and later reimagined by architect and builder Justin Kilbane, the residence features a harmonious blend of custom copper, wood, stone, and glass elements that speak to its natural surroundings while elevating the experience of luxury living.
At the heart of the home, expansive entertaining spaces flow effortlessly through walls of glass to outdoor terraces, where the showstopping piano-shaped pool with a keyboard sun shelf and spa bench becomes a sculptural centerpiece against panoramic desert vistas. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or grand celebration, every moment is set against a backdrop of awe-inspiring beauty.
Inside, the residence unveils a curated selection of luxury living spaces:
- A fitness room complete with private sauna
- A spacious executive office with inspiring views
- A dramatic media room ideal for cinematic experiences
- A custom wine wall, wet bar, and inviting lounge areas for effortless entertaining
- A 5-car air-conditioned garage, combining utility with showroom-quality style
Design elements include hand-carved custom entry doors, copper hearths, indigenous stone walls, artisan wood ceilings, and architectural lighting that transform each room into an experience. The interiors are designed to complement, not compete with, the surrounding landscape—offering serenity, texture, and natural light throughout.
And while privacy is paramount, this property also provides seamless access to the world-class lifestyle that Desert Mountain is known for—including seven championship golf courses, nine restaurants, a spa and fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, and over 20 miles of private hiking trails.
42690 N 98th Place is more than a home—it is a once-in-a-generation estate offering luxury, privacy, artistry, and a place within one of Scottsdale’s most exclusive communities. With a Golf Membership available, this is an opportunity to own a property that truly has it all.
