Property Description
It’s one thing to live in the desert. It’s another to experience living in the Sonoran Desert. Welcome to Ocotillo Ridge Estates! This beautiful, John Schultz custom home is surrounded by mountain views, high desert vegetation and a variety of wildlife, that gives one the sense of communing with nature. The home is nestled on a 4.4 acre lot with numerous ocotillos, saguaros and other types of native plants and cacti. The driveway guides you past a 2 BR casita to the main house. Along the way, artisan crafted wood gates mark the entry points to the front patio and mesquite entry door. Once inside, you immediately notice that this is not your normal boxy home design. You’ll also discover that every room is oversized. Distinctive elements, such as custom-built Alder cabinets throughout, provide the warmth needed to make this house a home. An open design allows hosts to entertain large gatherings without feeling cramped. There are 4 large sliding glass panels in the Great Room that hide into a pocket and allow the party to flow outside into an expansive covered patio. Turn up the sound system and enjoy! The main house has 2 MBRs and 1 Ensuite BR. The MBR wing boasts an oversized MBA, a huge walk-in closet, a separate exercise room (with exit to an outdoor spa) and another door leading to a private outdoor shower. On the opposite side of the house, the other MBR has a sunken area perfect for reading, studying, working or just plain relaxing. A private exit to the large backyard and infinity pool can be found there as well. The main house also includes a chef’s kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry and breakfast nook. Stroll around to locate the laundry (with built-in ironing board), an office with 2 book closets, a Powder Room and a separate media closet to ‘hide’ all your audio/visual technology. The casita, while under the same roof as the main house, has its own private entry and outdoor parking space. The design of interior is fashioned after a charming Mexican…casita, with a large family room, full kitchen and washer/dryer closet. The 2 bedrooms share a bathroom with a large walk-in tiled shower. Guests can access the pool, spa and back patio through a delightful side yard. All you’ll need to begin enjoying your new home in Carefree is there. After all, the town is not named Carefree for nothing…and neither is Ocotillo Ridge Estates!
