Since its incorporation into a city in the early 1960s, Paradise Valley, Arizona has become a popular retreat for wealthy residents and snowbirds with a penchant for low taxes, temperate winters and trophy homes. A brand new home in the affluent desert enclave proves why suburban Phoenix is one of the hottest real estate markets in the Grand Canyon State.
The elegant, modern property, courtesy of Ty Harrison Architecture, sits at the base of the iconic Camelback Mountain. The name is derived from its distinctive shape, which is reminiscent of a kneeling dromedary. The residence sits on just over one hectare of land and covers more than 7,000 square meters. It offers the best of indoor and outdoor living with automated glass pocket doors that open with just the push of a button. The resort-style garden, meanwhile, features a sexy black-painted pool that reflects the surrounding desert landscape. And don't worry, there are plenty of patio misters to keep you cool during those hot, dry summers.

The chef's kitchen anchors the open living area. Custom walnut Burdette cabinets are paired with Taj Mahal quartzite counters and a 15-foot waterfall island. Just off the dining area there is a closed wine cellar and bar where you can mix drinks for your guests. Imported Italian porcelain tile floors extend to the living room, where a full-wall fireplace provides warmth and coziness.
Four en-suite bedrooms are complemented by two additional bathrooms, while the master bedroom features Swedish walnut flooring, a hydraulic safe for storing valuables and two wardrobes with washing machines. Just outside the door is a plunge pool with a Baja shelf for the homeowners' private use. Elsewhere there is a glass-walled executive office and a wellness suite with a gym, massage room and cold bath.

In addition to the homeowners' private pool, there is a large L-shaped main pool with an infinity spa and an underwater bar with seating where you can swim up to the outdoor lounge area and enjoy a drink or snack with your land-loving guests. There's also a sunken fire-lit lounge, a Zen garden and a multi-sports court that can be used for tennis, basketball or pickleball.
Priced at $13.5 million, the property is available through Maximilian de Melo and Patrick Niederdrenk at America One Luxury Real Estate.
