Set high within the coveted Apache Peak village of Desert Mountain, 41780 N 111th Place is a striking architectural statement—where bold design, sweeping views, and a refined desert lifestyle come together in a home that feels both dramatic and deeply livable.

From the moment of arrival, the residence makes an unforgettable impression. Perched on a premier hillside lot, the home captures unobstructed, “see forever” views that stretch across the surrounding mountains and city lights, creating a constant connection to the landscape. A private courtyard anchored by a statement fireplace offers a warm and intimate introduction, while the home’s blend of stucco, stacked stone, and layered rooflines hints at the architectural experience within.
Inside, walls of glass immediately draw the eye outward, flooding the interiors with natural light and framing panoramic vistas from nearly every angle. The great room rises with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and dramatic architectural details, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling Cantera stone fireplace that adds both scale and warmth. Designed with both entertaining and everyday living in mind, the home flows effortlessly from one space to the next, creating an atmosphere that feels elevated yet inviting.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen serves as both a functional workspace and a design centerpiece, featuring an oversized slab stone island and high-end finishes that support gatherings of any size. Nearby, a sophisticated dining space, full wet bar, and temperature-controlled wine room create an environment tailored for hosting, where every detail has been considered.
A sculptural floating staircase leads to an upper-level retreat—an unexpected and captivating space that includes a game room and full bar lounge, wrapped in glass and opening to a view deck with firepit. From here, sunsets become a daily ritual, with uninterrupted views of desert silhouettes and glowing city lights below.

The primary suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace, spa-inspired bath with steam shower and soaking tub, and a flexible bonus space ideal for a fitness studio or quiet lounge. Each additional en suite bedroom provides comfort and privacy, creating a home that accommodates both intimate living and larger gatherings with ease.
Outdoors, the experience continues with a resort-style setting designed for year-round enjoyment. A beach-entry pool and elevated spa, outdoor kitchen, and multiple gathering spaces create a seamless extension of the interior, where entertaining and relaxation feel effortless against the backdrop of the desert.

Fully reimagined and designed to capture both privacy and panoramic beauty, this residence also offers access to Desert Mountain’s world-class lifestyle, where golf, dining, fitness, and miles of scenic trails elevate everyday living.
41780 N 111th Place is more than a home—it is a vantage point, a retreat, and an experience, offering a rare opportunity to live immersed in the beauty and sophistication of Desert Mountain.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing the highest service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of Global Real Estate Advisor Debbie Mack to our Southeast Valley Office.

She is passionate about making the process feel smooth, informed, and tailored to each client’s individual goals, whether they are searching for their dream home or preparing to sell a distinctive property.
Debbie and her husband, Chris, proudly call Gilbert home, where they are raising their two boys. Deeply connected to the Arizona lifestyle, Debbie understands that buying or selling a home is about more than real estate. It is about finding a place that truly reflects the life her clients want to build. That perspective is at the heart of everything she does, making her a valued partner for those looking to make their next move with confidence.
