FROM THE LUCKYS There aren’t too many words in our human vernacular that evoke as much visceral emotion in us as the word “home.” Every time I hear Michael Buble’s yearning lyrics, “I wanna go home/got to go home,” in his touching ballad “Home,” I’m struck with the weight of those words, and by the shared, raw need we all have to just be home. “Home” means so many things to us: security, love, safety, comfort, acceptance…it’s where we can let our hair down, kick off our shoes, peel away the stresses from our everyday life and peacefully lay our heads at night. The comfort that home brings to each of us is monumental. Today’s homes tend to offer much more than a respite and solace. Our homes have become a reflection of ourselves, and our lifestyles. We’ve

green living WHEN THE BUILDER – REALLY, THE INVENTOR – of this uber green home in North Scottsdale designed this distinctive masterpiece, the intent was to live in unity with the beautiful Sonoran Desert in a healthy and environmentally sensitive manner. Instead of building a typical “box” to live in, the home was created to allow the residents to truly connect with the desert as much as possible through open spaces and an extensive use of view glass. Nestled into the side of boulder-strewn Troon Mountain, the home rests at a lofty 2,600 feet of elevation and integrates seamlessly with the natural desert flora. Constructed with materials indigenous or inspired by the desert, the residence is fashioned with steel, concrete, stone, clay and glass, and offers jaw-dropping views of the Valley and mountain ranges, both distant and close. When building, the utmost care was taken to preserve the integrity of the site. Therefore, the home is comprised of separate modules staggered and intertwined amongst the boulders ascending up the hillside. The five, cast in place, hexagonal concrete structures are set at several different levels on the five-acre cul-de-sac lot and are topped with rooftop garden structures and solar panels helping to reduce power consumption. Interwoven in the exterior spaces are walkways and staircases surrounded by foliage, steel and rebar, exterior patios and view areas, pergolas and cabanas, and a series of canal-like waterways. Those waterways, in turn, feed the pool which incorporates a cantilevered negative-edge water feature, spa, and rope swing. As one of the finest examples of eco-conscious living in the world, the home possesses a plethora of impressive green features. These include cooling clay walls, maximum ventilation with roof openings and transom windows, recirculation piping in the structures carrying both hot and cold water, interior and exterior spaces specifically designed for THE LUCKYS | LISALUCKY.COM

JUST HOW DOES SCOTTSDALE DO IT?
She is a city that is elegant, yet
casual. Refined, yet relaxed. Stylish, yet unfussy. Some people may view this depiction as a contrasting dichotomy. However, Scottsdale residents instead understand that the city has somehow managed to blend the best things in life into a perfect fusion. It’s truly the real estate in Scottsdale that best embodies the city’s gracious living. After years of searching for the perfect home site, the sellers of this exquisite residence built upon the ideal spot within the exclusive gated community of Cantabrica, near Troon Village. The home is specifically situated to couple inspiring mountain views with priceless privacy and is sure to impress anyone fortunate enough to enter. With a precision focus on every detail, the quality of care, craftsmanship and finishes were brought to fruition in 2013 by renowned builder Dennes Mikalacki of Red Rock Custom Homes. The endeavor was successful in creating an immaculate private retreat that utterly captures the allure of the surrounding desert and sweeping mountain vistas. This single-level home with no interior steps is accented with a tasteful use of travertine flooring, cantera fireplaces and pillars, authentic Venetian plaster, and custom light fixtures including imported jewel-like chandeliers that lend a delicate sparkle and glow to the welcoming spaces. Well-thought-out ceiling treatments range from dramatic bricked domed-and-groined vault, to hand-hewn cross beams. In addition to the main home, there is a separate guesthouse finished in the same distinguished manner as the main residence. The guesthouse is luxuriously outfitted with its own kitchenette, full bath and sleeping area, and can easily double as a convenient pool house. The main home’s four bedrooms are all en suite with private travertine-laden bathrooms, large walk-in closets, and individual access to outdoor patios. The regal master suite offers a private seating area, dual walk-in closets, a resort-style bath area, and an adjacent office worthy of a top executive. With a home of this nature, entertaining guests becomes one of the joys of ownership. To that end, the living spaces provide exceptional entertaining spaces beginning with a spacious great room that expands to the magnificent outdoor living area through mechanical pocket doors framing the mountains and yard. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is outfitted with high-end Wolf appliances including an eight-burner hooded gas range, commercial-sized side-by-side Sub-Zero freezer and refrigerator, and two dishwashers.

oversized custom island is a centerpiece of the kitchen and is the ideal space for family gatherings. For casual gatherings, the family room opens off the kitchen and is equipped with charming French doors that lead to a covered patio with a built-in outdoor cooking station and dining area, complete with a tranquil water feature. For a quiet night in, the home has a media room with all of the amenities one would expect. The audiovisual equipment, theater seating and screen itself are optimized for theater-style viewing. And once the movie starts, there’s no reason to venture far for refreshments as a kitchenette is incorporated into the design. Outside, a ramada-style covered patio boasts hand-hewn plank beams, travertine stone flooring, and an open-style fireplace with exposure on all four sides. The travertine patio expands from this area to surround the heated pool and spa, both

DESERT MOUNTAIN The combination of high rugged mountains, prominent ridges, and deep, lushly vegetated washes creates a dominant desert setting for the area. Across much of the area the view-shed includes mountains 50 to 100 miles away. The Desert Mountain guard-gated master-planned development, one of the largest in the city at a size of over 8,000 acres, has set distinctive design styles and patterns for much of the area. Desert Mountain boasts six Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses and six distinctive clubhouses. Real estate consists of large custom estates to restful courtyard villas, all within a collection of multiple secluded villages.
MIRABEL Mirabel Club is a guard-gated community, situated on 713 acres of pristine desert land at an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet. Many say Mirabel Club rivals Desert Mountain, but on a smaller, more intimate scale. Mirabel residents enjoy the beauty and pure air of the desert set against panoramic views of majestic mountains, glowing sunsets and the sparkling lights of the Valley. The Tom Fazio-designed golf course offers challenging golf and spectacular views from every hole. The community is home to 315 custom home sites ranging in size from 2/3 of an acre to over two acres. In addition to custom homes, Mirabel includes El Corazon – 35 beautifully designed single-family homes in the heart of the community.

Jewel OF THE DESERT
Henry David Thoreau
once famously advised, “Go confidently in
the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve always imagined.” Every once in awhile, a special opportunity arises that sends a persistent nudge to our consciousness, and tugs at our desires to follow our own dreams. Let your pursuit end here, with this stunning Sonoran Desert estate, available for purchase with most of the luxurious furnishings and accessories available by separate Bill of Sale. This striking Tuscan estate on the signature 8th green of the Pinnacle course at Troon North with mountain and city light views beyond, is an exquisite mixture of Old World Mediterranean charm and incomparable craftsmanship. Set upon a ridge with scenic boulder outcroppings, the setting provides a beautiful Sonoran Desert backdrop for relaxing and entertaining. Your first impression of the property is that of grand elegance and remarkable attention-to-detail. Your entrance begins with a hand-laid paver drive leading to the verdant desert-landscaped courtyard and uncommon gated auto court. Through the imported cantera stone entry with a stunning 25-foot ceiling height, the interior dazzles with formal living spaces enhanced with marble flooring, arched entryways and windows, custom ironwork fixtures and chandeliers, Venetian plaster walls, coffered and detailed ceilings, and a retractable glass wall that opens the interior to the outdoor living spaces with a sweeping view of the lush golf course and scenic Valley beyond. The open kitchen and family room space offers a warm, inviting retreat with rich cherry cabinetry, ceiling and fireplace detailing, as well as casual dining and seating areas. The gourmet kitchen boasts Bosch, Meile, Sub-Zero, and Viking appliances including an eight-burner gas range with custom hood, dual dishwashers, and a built-in espresso machine; while a full-sized bar graces the family room. All of the bedrooms are en suite with private bathrooms. However, it’s the master suite that will take your breath away. The retreat comprises its own wing and includes a private sitting room with a cozy fireplace, the bedroom itself, and a luxuriously appointed bathroom dramatically centered with a sunken jetted tub framed by vivid cantera stone pillars and fireplace. Truly designed as a sanctuary, the master suite is a peaceful hideaway and comfortable haven.

visions of dried out tumbleweeds blowing across the hot, dusty and desolate desert, many people not very familiar with our diverse bio climatic zones just can’t wrap their minds around the idea of wine being made in Arizona.

While portions of Arizona are desert, and northern Arizona is mountainous, there is an altitude band of 3,500 to 5,500 feet that is the sweet spot for growing wine grapes. Hot during the day and cool at night, these regions benefit from diurnal temperature variations – meaning that there is a great difference in temperatures within a day, sometimes as much as 50 degrees.

There are a multitude of varietals being crafted in these regions including Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Mouvedre, Petite Verdot and Merlot.

Additionally, Arizona’s monsoon storms at the end of summer and early fall bring fast bursts of rain and elevated dew points during the wine growing season. It’s these dramatic climate conditions that develop the complexity of the grapes and are the hallmark of the Arizona wine industry. Although viticulture in Arizona began in the 1500s when missionary Spanish Jesuit priests were creating wine to use as a sacrament, the modern wine industry began in the 1970s after the University of Arizona established an experimental vineyard

Made up of igneous and sedimentary rock, the loose soil doesn’t retain water very well, which is an excellent characteristic for growing grapes as soil that doesn’t drain easily can produce water-logged, tasteless grapes. Some of the better-rated vineyards among the 10 in this area are Dos Cabezas WineWorks (winner of the 2016 Arizona Republic Wine Competition’s Growers Cup Best Red Wine with its 2013 El Norte), Callahan Vineyards (of which Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate said "must be one of the best wine secrets in America."), Rune (winner of the 2016 Arizona Republic Wine Competition’s Best Mourvedre), and the one that started it all, Sonoita Vineyards.

Willcox
About an hour from Tucson just off of I-10 north of Sulfur Springs Valley lies the Willcox region where the soil is rich with ash from ancient volcanoes. The elevation of 4,000+ feet creates a climate similar to that of France’s Rhone Valley with sandy soil and near constant sunshine. With 13 wineries in the Willcox area, visitors have many options for tasting and tours. Pillsbury Wine Company’s founder Sam Pillsbury is one of the pioneers of the region and his wines have earned international acclaim including a coveted Double Gold in the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Keeling-Schaefer Vineyards (tied for first place with Pillsbury for Best Viognier in the 2016 Arizona Republic Wine Competition) offers a pleasant tasting room in the historic 1917 Willcox Bank and Trust building. Bodega Pierce grows 17 different varietals and has been awarded the Best Chardonnay and Best Malvasia Bianca. Zarpara Vineyard, located on the “Willcox Bench” premier wine growing region just 15 minutes from downtown Willcox, offers not only fine wines to taste, but sweeping views of the Dos Cabezas Mountains from its tasting room terrace.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SCOTTSDALE before the war’s end. Scottsdale also was the site of a German prisoner of war camp. In 1947, the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce was formed and Scottsdale leaders made a conscious effort to promote a special identity, linked to the Old West, as a reflection of the city’s roots and as a draw for tourists. The chamber established a Western design theme for the downtown and adopted the “West’s Most Western Town” as Scottsdale’s slogan. In 1950, Motorola opened a plant near Scottsdale’s western border, signaling the beginning of an advanced technology industry that has continued to grow. In 1956 the company opened another plant within the city on McDowell Road.
Scottsdale's Little Red Schoolhouse
On June 25, 1951, with a population of about 2,000 living within an area of less than a square mile, the town incorporated. Malcolm White was appointed its first mayor, and Scottsdale adopted “The West’s Most Western Town” as its official motto. The town expanded rapidly during the 1950s, growing to a population of more than 10,000 within an area of about five square miles by 1960. During the 1950s, town residents began the annual Parada del Sol celebration, brought the Baltimore Orioles to town for the first spring training season and organized the first All Arabian Horse Show – activities that continue as major attractions and continue to define the character of modern-day Scottsdale. By the end of the 1960s, Scottsdale’s population had increased six-fold to nearly 68,000 while its land area increased twelve-

The following decades brought even more growth in population and land area, as the city pushed northward into the high Sonoran Desert and experienced several building booms. By 1980, its population of more than 88,000 covered 88.6 square miles. By 1990, it had reached more than 130,000 in population and expanded to roughly its present size – about 185 square miles.

M A R K E T U P DAT E The stock market has been off to a great start in 2017. Typically we find that when the stock market is doing well, then the North Scottsdale real estate market follows suit. The first quarter of 2017 has been very strong for our market – in fact it’s the best first quarter that I've seen in years. Sales are on the increase. Buyers aren’t simply shopping anymore, they’re actively buying. However, inventory levels are up as well. With the strength of the stock market, the bettering economy and an improving real estate market, we’re seeing many more homeowners jumping into the mix to get their homes sold. Most North Scottsdale communities are 20 or more years old at this point. Thus, we’re seeing a trend among homeowners turning their properties over. Some are downsizing. So with higher

we've seen in a very long time. These new home options are having an impact on these new homes and exciting open floorplans, the resale homes can, in turn, seem new homes is location, location, location. The best lots for views and privacy were choose a resale home in a premium location even if it means updating the home after purchase. Savvy sellers know that updating prior to putting the home on the market will garner a better price and a quicker sale, as their property will absolutely stand out. We've also recently seen an uptick in land sales. These sales are primarily driven by buyers unable to find a home they like in the resale market. Building a custom home on their chosen lot also allows them to get a brand new home. Really, some would argue, the best of both worlds: a prime location and a new home. Generally the consensus among economists is that of a continually improving year. It's exciting and encouraging to see so many sales occurring and we hope the rest of the year remains just as strong.
