Luxury Agent Lisa Westcott of the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Pinnacle Peak office, is representing the seller for the current highest listed residential estate in Arizona. Westcott recently closed on another $24.1 million sale to make Arizona history as the highest residential sale in the state. Now, Westcott is vying to break her own state record with this new $27.5 million listing of another grand estate.
21053 N 110th Way is located in Scottsdale, Arizona in the guard-gated Upper Canyon of Silverleaf behind its own private gates. The 6 bed, 7 bath, 15,000 square foot estate was built on 4.7 acres in 2017. In 2014, the lot in Silverleaf was purchased and the buyers worked with Architect Dale Gardon and Salcito Custom Homes to craft an exquisite Modern Mediterranean home.
“When my clients purchased this lot back in 2014 we knew there were endless possibilities,” said Westcott. “With the sellers’ vision, Dale Gardon’s expertise and Salcito Custom Homes quality, the home exceeded all expectations. It is truly an honor as a broker associate to represent such an exquisite estate.”
“Working with clients was the perfect fit for me and the entire team at Salcito Custom Homes. The clients were looking for an estate suitable to accommodate large scale entertaining, frequent visits from out of state family and friends and at the same time they never wanted to feel out of scale during intimate family time. The end result is a magnificent modern Mediterranean estate situated and nestled on a private site with endless views of city lights and amazing sunsets. The clients have sophisticated taste and pay attention to every detail. Those two qualities show up in every inch inside and out of the home. We specialize in meeting the needs of clients like that and we are very proud of this one,” said Anthony Salcito Jr, president and owner of Salcito Custom Homes.
The never before listed, magnificent private estate is currently priced at $27.5 million. The architectural masterpiece delivers a perfect blend of indoor wonders in unison with an awe-inducing view. The estate was designed to capture a picturesque view of the diamond sparkling Scottsdale city lights and the Camelback and McDowell mountains.
“Having designed on many fabulous properties, this is one of the most extraordinary homesites in Silverleaf. It offers privacy with a quintessential estate arrival experience down a long descending tree-lined drive that builds anticipation. The grandeur of the home is expressed as a Modern Mediterranean home, and then unfolds upon entering the foyer to a beautiful contemporary arch framed view of the Valley and city lights at night,” said Architect Dale Gordon, “It is rare to be able to design a home with all primary living spaces all enjoying the A+ view orientation indoors and out. The Homeowners allowed us the freedom to configure the home in a manner that captures it all.”
A beautiful covered outdoor space opens to the resort style backyard that houses a modern deep diving pool equipped with water features, a spa, fire pits, kitchen, and multiple sitting areas with fireplaces and ceiling heaters that ensure stunning Arizona outdoor living and entertaining.
The main house offers 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms with French limestone and French Oak flooring throughout the inviting estate. Every detail has been thought of and attended to, including gorgeous modern chandeliers and state of the art living spaces.
The estate embraces luxury living. French flooring lead to sophisticated modern bathrooms that feature heated flooring and steam showers. A breakfast bar is expertly placed to take in the breathtaking views. Gorgeous granite brings the modern luxurious kitchen to life. Flower gardens bring an essence of home to the oasis backyard.
The home features other amenities including state-of-the-art appliances, a large gym, a 6 car airconditioned garage, tennis court, 7 fireplaces, butler’s pantry, and a wet bar. The estate also offers a state-of-the-art, fully equipped guest house that includes a washer/dryer, dual custom walk-in closets, and its own private outdoor space.
From the breathtaking foyer and outdoor oasis, to the modern accents, spa inspired bathrooms, and million dollar views this estate is a living piece of art. The best Arizona has to offer.
The home is just a short distance to the Silverleaf Golf Course and provides access to community events such as Grape Nuts wine club, 24-hour onsite fitness facility, path system, tennis courts, basketball courts, additional pools, and onsite 24-hour guard and gate service. Silverleaf Golf Club is located within the community as a private club available through membership application approval.

Arizona’s diverse and lavish landscape has always been one of the state’s biggest selling points. From the national wonders of the Grand Canyon to the historic ghost and mining towns to the perfectly positioned saguaros and bountiful mountains, there is no shortage of beautiful scenery or outdoor recreation. Mother Nature blessed the 48th state with hundreds of miles of vast open spaces. The Grand Canyon state has been drawing tourists from around the world for over a century and it’s still happening today.
Even during the pandemic, travelers and residents alike continue to show their appreciation and love for Arizona’s outdoors and all it has to offer. While the Arizona Office of Tourism says it may take a little more than a year to get the state’s tourism back to pre-COVID levels, steps are already underway to keep Arizona’s tourism on the map for many years to come. The office recently released a recovery plan that includes accelerating leisure travel activity statewide, stabilizing visitor volume in urban centers, and reinvigorating and strengthening tourism in rural and Tribal areas.
The foundation our industry has built through the best of times will continue to serve us through these challenging times. We’ll use the strategies outlined in our Tourism Strategic Recovery Plan to stabilize, recover and rebuild our travel industry, which supports so many Arizonans.
Debbie Johnson, director of the Arizona Office of Tourism
Among those sizzling factors that keep Arizona a hot spot for tourism – two words – The Weather!
While there’s no shoveling the sunshine here, it can certainly be counted on when it comes to aiding the state’s recovery. With the Phoenix Valley of the Sun averaging 296 days of sunshine, Tucson averaging 284, and Flagstaff averaging 264 days a year with sunshine – Arizona is the ideal state to visit for all the seasons and for all the best reasons. As many travel plans came to a halt, tourists are still making their way to explore Arizona’s parks, trails, lakes, and play its golf courses.
Recreational state parks and trails are open to the public and continue to attract tourists, including a one-of-kind tourist destination like the cave tours at Kartchner Caverns State Park, which resumed in June. The vast open space in Arizona will be cherished for many years to come as the national forest land covers 15% of Arizona. The state is home to 24 national parks, making day trips and weekend adventures all the rage.
After a brief closure and a few added restrictions, our favorite backdrop and Natural Wonder of the World, the Grand Canyon National Park, is open and shuttle service is continuing. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers visitors on the rim. The canyon stretches an impressive 227 miles long and averages over 10 miles wide. On a normal year, Arizona’s premier National Park attracts about five million visitors per year. For those looking to visit, the entry is through the Town of Tusayan. With plenty of available lodging in neighboring Tusayan, the community has renewed its efforts to promote local tourism to Arizona residents.
Tusayan’s Mayor-Elect, Clarinda Vail, remains optimistic, “Since the re-opening of the Grand Canyon National Park we are seeing more tourists in our community and it is a welcoming sight. At 7,000 feet in elevation, Tusayan remains a place for Arizonans seeking some relief from the heat and an opportunity to reconnect with the Grand Canyon or see it for the first time.”
Renegade Golf Course at Desert Mountain
From 5 million visitors at the canyon to 12 million rounds of golf, it is fair to say there has never been a better time to get outdoors and enjoy a round of golf. Home to more than 300 public and private golf courses, Arizona deemed golf an essential activity allowing golf courses to remain open with new protocols set in place for physical distancing. While other sporting events such as Spring Training were cut short this year, the Arizona Golf Association managed to hold its 96th Arizona Amateur Championship in July.
This winter there’s even more reasons to fall in love with Arizona again. Arizona Snowbowl plans to open for the ski season and unveil its new high-speed Agassiz combo lift that will redefine the Snowbowl experience with six-person chairs interspersed with eight-person gondola cabins. The new lift will transport passengers up 2,000 feet of vertical in just 7 minutes – less than half the time of the existing lift. You don’t need to wait for winter to enjoy Flagstaff’s Arizona Snowbowl. During the summer months, enjoy live music events or take in the dramatic scenery of northern Arizona from a bird’s eye view on the Grand Canyon Express lift. As the lift travels up to 10,800 feet, one can see the cinder cone volcanic field, the red rocks in Sedona, and as far as the Grand Canyon on a clear day. No matter the season or the temperature, Arizona offers some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. With its diverse topography and awe-inspiring wonders, pandemic or not, it will surely be the place visitors will return for many years to come.

Another record-setting sale in Tucson belongs to Real Estate Advisors Bryan Durkin, Anne Ferro and Susan Neitzel for their sale of this prestigious grand Foothills estate which sold for $3,100,000. The home was owned prior by the late and beloved University of Arizona and Hall of Fame Basketball Coach, Lute Olsen and was the highest recorded sale in the prestigious Finisterra neighborhood.

Home is now our office, our gym, our favorite restaurant, our date night and more homebuyers and owners have discovered that their next purchase or renovation needs to match and accommodate their new lifestyle of being at home more than ever.
Privacy and Space: The work-at-home lifestyle, and the freedoms it provides, may take root beyond the current need to shelter at home. Without a work commute, vast and beautiful parts of Arizona that are far from major metropolitan areas are now possibilities for homebuyers seeking an upscale lifestyle. A whole new meaning to a high-end getaway.
Home Office: So long are the days where a home office could be your kitchen island, the dinner table or a desk in one of your guest bedrooms. With more options to work and learn remotely, a great home office is key. Homes that provide a functioning work environment with adequate spacing are a necessity.
Fitness Rooms: Health is wealth and your body is a temple. Arizona is known for its amazing outdoor scene to stay active and the ability to do so at home is on everyone’s mind. Home fitness includes indoor and outdoor amenities such as weight rooms, sports courts, dance and yoga rooms, putting greens and pools.
Indoor and Outdoor Entertainment: Plan your own staycation with a home that offers a home theatre, game room, kid’s playrooms, wine cellar and built-in bar. Don’t limit yourself indoors when you can experience outdoor living at it’s finest with cabanas and lounge areas, fire pits, private patios and balconies, an outdoor kitchen and dining areas. The true indoor-outdoor lifestyle all in one.
Judy Smedes & Kate Herk – Long Realty
Home Spa: A day at the spa is one of life’s ultimate luxuries and now, unwinding has never been easier. For some, having a tranquil oasis anytime day or night is an essential feature in a home. Steam showers, built-in saunas, views from a bathtub with floor-to-ceiling windows and an abundance of natural light are key factors that will transport you to the spa. Don’t forget your favorite bathrobe, scented candles and facemask!
