Tucked within the exclusive gated enclave of Sierra Hills, this custom-built residence by Mark Steimer defines modern desert sophistication. With sweeping mountain vistas, impeccable craftsmanship, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this 2017 single-level estate reimagines Arizona living as both art and sanctuary.

The Home

Spanning 5,886 square feet, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath retreat blends timeless architecture with warm contemporary design. From the limestone fireplaces to the soaring wood-beamed ceilings, every detail reflects enduring quality. The open-concept floor plan anchors around a dramatic great room and bar, framed by automated sliding glass walls that dissolve the boundary between interior comfort and outdoor serenity.

At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen showcases a show-stopping leathered granite island, quartz perimeter counters, and high-end appliances—an entertainer’s dream that flows into both formal dining with a climate-controlled wine cellar and casual breakfast areas framed by mountain views.

A serene primary suite offers a private sitting area with fireplace, spa-style bath with dual rainfall showers, soaking tub, and custom dressing room. Four guest suites—including an attached casita—provide comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike.

The Grounds

Set on over an acre, the newly reimagined 2024 landscape design transforms the outdoors into a desert resort. A full outdoor kitchen, putting green, mature fruit trees, and water features surround a heated pool and spa with in-water chaises and fire accents. Multiple covered patios, paved walkways, and lush synthetic turf create effortless year-round entertaining. Every vantage point frames the McDowell Mountains in their natural grandeur.

A five-car garage with EV charging and a circular drive complete the property’s thoughtful design, balancing beauty with function..
