This Mediterranean-style mansion in Arizona's Mummy Valley has phenomenal views

This mountainside modern Mediterranean-style mansion in Arizona's wealthiest municipality, the Mummy Valley, has phenomenal views of the Camelback and Mummy Mountains.

Frank Aazami, of Russ Lyon Sotheby s International Realty, said the house is all about location. You can walk to several resorts - Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, Mountain Shadows and Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa in Montelucia. He said that the city's most famous water hole, El Chorro, is right across the street, while the Paradise Valley Country Club, whose years-long wait list is legendary, is down the street, and restaurants on Scottsdale Road and The Ritz-Carlton, which is slated to open in 2024, are close by.

The suburb of Phoenix lives up to its idyllic moniker: It is all about luxury golf courses, high-end shopping experiences, expensive properties and fine dining.

It attracts people with active lifestyles and what Mr. Aazami called the well-seasoned connoisseurs of homes from around the world, and has been home to a number of celebrities over the years, including rocker Alice Cooper and Olympic swimming champ Michael Phelps. People who move here, even in their 60 s and 70 s, are golf, hike and bike, according to Mr. Aazami. It used to be a second-home vacation-home community, but now we see a lot of people making it their primary residence. Write to Listing of the Day
