Desert Mountain Homes for Sale

The Desert Mountain Residential Community, first opened in 1986. Although the community is located in the little town of Carefree Az; The Desert Mountain Community has an enviable Scottsdale address. So if you like rural living with an exclusive Scottsdale home address, Desert Mountain might be a perfect fit for you.

ABOUT DESERT MOUNTAIN

Desert Mountain is a pretty and secluded community with numerous in-house amenities, including a top-ranked six Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses and one USGA-rated championship par-54 course, No. 7 at Desert Mountain™, designed by Wendell Pickett and Bill Brownlee. The courses offer something for all ages and skill levels. In addition, Desert Mountain has seven, award-winning clubhouses along with golf shops. Of course, joining an exclusive golf community does come with a price. As of 2020, an initial contribution of $50,000 to $65,000 was required in addition to monthly dues depending on what package you sign up for.

Located within the Desert Mountain Community is, The Sonoran Fitness, Tennis and Spa offering exercise and training options, spa treatments and a hair salon. The Desert Mountain Tennis Complex, is known among locals as the “Wimbledon of the West,” featuring nine courts and three playing surfaces: grass, hard composition and clay.

Although Desert Mountain is primarily 53 and older, you’ll also find plenty of family-friendly activities in the Youth Center, along with holiday events plus seasonal junior golf and tennis camps. There are also lap and resort-style pools, volleyball courts and 15 miles of hiking and biking trails.

In fact, Desert Mountain has its own 15-mile private trails system consisting of seven trail segments, each varying in degree of difficulty for a different hiking experience on each. Earning Desert Mountain, the “American Trails Developer” Award from the non-profit, American Trails organization.

Many events and activities are scheduled, too, throughout the year such as culinary classes, tennis clinics, bridge and canasta, mahjong, book review clubs, prominent guest speakers, wine tastings and winemaker dinners along with special events that include food and wine festivals, golf events, trunk shows, and dinner shows.

Access to all of the lifestyle amenities requires an initial contribution of $20,000 with monthly fees thereafter. (Call me for latest fee schedule.)  SEARCH DESERT MOUNTAIN HOMES BELOW.

DINING

If you don’t want to make the trek into the city, each clubhouse offers a variety of dining experiences, from casual to elegant, with 10 restaurants and grills. You’ll find Tuscan-inspired Italian, tasty Southwestern, classic steakhouse specialties or scrumptious American fare.

FIND YOUR VILLAGE

In winter, approximately 1,650 people reside in the 8,000-acre gated-community that offers 36 villages with home styles ranging from townhomes to luxury homes.

If you like privacy, you may want one of the homes at the top of the community which are privately sited 10-20 minutes from the main gate. Many homes in Desert Mountain feature large parcels of over one-plus acres for added privacy. Prices range from a modest $250,000 for smaller townhomes for sale, to over 5 million for luxury estates for sale in Desert Mountain.

Real Estate Observations. Real estate/ Homes for sale are plentiful in Desert Mountain with over a hundred homes for sale at any given time. And with a nearly 20% turnover in residents each year, plan ahead if you buy here. Although the community is very nice, it is quite a drive from the actual center of Scottsdale so often times buyers love the idea of the tranquility but decide to sell their home after missing the easy access to more restaurants and the city of Scottsdale. So homes that are for sale here typically take a year or more to sell… and two years is not unheard of. (MAP below Desert Mountain is located where the DM is on map, noting Scottsdale City below.)

Desert Mountain is essentially a luxurious version of a Sun City Retirement Community, where all the amenities are “in house”, so perfect for buyers looking for that retirement type lifestyle in pretty and more spacious surroundings.

NEARBY

The nearest town to the Desert Mountain Community is Cave Creek, north of Phoenix. The town has a population of around 5,000 but that number goes up during the winter season.  One of the more popular things to do in Cave Creek is visit Cave Creek Regional Park. The 3,000-acre park has plenty of hiking and biking trails.

There’s also the Cave Creek Museum with prehistoric artifacts of tools and pottery, which help teach about desert life centuries ago. The museum also has excellent coverage of settlers, miner and military days in the immediate region.

You’ll also find golf courses, MacDonald’s Ranch, the conservation area known as Spur Cross Ranch, and Frontier Town. This Wild West town is great fun. You can see the gallows where justice was administered to outlaws. You’ll find plenty of shops that sell souvenirs, jewelry, clothing along with old west style restaurants.
