A Private Camelback Mountain Villa Above Paradise Valley
Perched high on a quiet mountainside with front-row views of iconic Camelback Mountain and the shimmering city skyline, The Camelback Crest offers a rare blend of privacy, architectural character, and resort-style living—just minutes from the Biltmore, Arcadia, and Scottsdale’s finest destinations.
This is not simply a home.
It is a front-row relationship with one of Arizona’s most valuable and permanently protected landmarks—designed for those who want to live surrounded by beauty, light, and a sense of escape without sacrificing convenience.
Property Overview
Steps from the Camelback Corridor yet set far above the everyday, The Camelback Crest sits on a private Paradise Valley mountainside wrapped by preserved desert and the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.
A long gated drive creates a feeling of arrival, separating the home from the street and surrounding it in quiet. Dual Canterra-stone courtyards and custom ironwork introduce the architecture—timeless, European-inspired, and designed to feel collected rather than trend-driven.
Inside, soaring ceilings, oversized fireplaces, and expansive walls of glass frame Camelback Mountain and the city lights beyond, creating a home that feels both dramatic and deeply livable—perfect for morning calm and evening entertaining alike.

The Living Experience
Main-Level Living — Designed for Ease
Every primary living space is thoughtfully located on the main level—kitchen, dining, great room, office, and the serene owner’s retreat—creating a home that lives like a single-story residence without sacrificing scale or views.
From the main living areas, glass doors open to expansive terraces and sweeping Camelback views, allowing daily life to move effortlessly outdoors.
This is the level where mornings feel quiet and elevated… and where evenings begin with the mountain framed in gold.
The Entertainment Level
A Private Resort Carved Into the Mountain
Below, the home unfolds into a true entertaining and guest retreat. The negative-edge pool, shaded cabana, and wide terraces sit directly against the hillside, creating a resort-like setting surrounded by desert and sky.
This lower level allows you to host, celebrate, and welcome guests without ever disturbing the calm of the main living floor—a layout especially prized by second-home buyers and entertainers who value both privacy and flexibility.
The Camelback Crest sits in one of Paradise Valley’s most sought-after hillside enclaves—quiet, protected, and incredibly connected.
Just moments away is the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, a 41,000-acre network of protected desert and hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails across Camelback and Piestewa Peak—turning the natural landscape into a daily amenity.
From here, you’re minutes to:
- Camelback & Piestewa hiking trails
- Biltmore Fashion Park
- Scottsdale Fashion Square
- Paradise Valley Country Club
- Arizona Biltmore Golf
- Steak 44, Chelsea’s Kitchen, Maple & Ash, The Henry, The Global Ambassador
- Sky Harbor International Airport (≈15 minutes) and Scottsdale Airport (≈20–25 minutes)
It is the rare balance of mountain, city, privacy, and access that makes this location so valuable.
