The exceptionally private backyard offers majestic boulder views, serene outdoor living and outstanding sunsets. Enjoy lock-and-leave living with a heated community pool and spa just two homes away, plus amenities like golf, tennis, pickleball, dining and hiking at your doorstep. More than a residence, this is a private desert sanctuary designed for refined, resort-inspired living. Owner/Agent. Experience a rare opportunity to own one of The Boulders' most comprehensively reimagined luxury residences, where sophisticated modern design meets the timeless beauty of Arizona's iconic desert landscape in the World-Renowned Boulders resort. Offered fully furnished on a separate bill of sale and professionally curated, this turnkey retreat is ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive. Completely transformed with exceptional attention to quality and craftsmanship, the residence showcases a stunning designer kitchen, luxurious spa-inspired baths, expansive porcelain flooring, custom cabinetry, premium fixtures, and thoughtfully selected furnishings that create a refined yet comfortable desert retreat. Beyond its striking design, this home offers something increasingly difficult to find--remarkable privacy. Although architecturally connected to neighboring residences, the outdoor living spaces were intentionally designed to provide a quiet, secluded setting with no direct sightlines into neighboring homes. Surrounded by dramatic granite boulder formations and breathtaking Sonoran Desert scenery, the backyard offers a peaceful sanctuary where morning coffee, evening sunsets, and outdoor entertaining can be enjoyed in complete tranquility. For those seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle, this residence offers the perfect balance of luxury and convenience. Just a short stroll of two lots away, residents enjoy access to a heated community pool and spa providing all the benefits of resort-style amenities without the maintenance, expense, or space required for private ownership. Equally impressive are the extensive infrastructure improvements completed during the renovation. Significant investments in plumbing, gas, electrical systems, roofing, lighting, and finishes provide the confidence and peace of mind rarely found in homes of this vintage, allowing buyers to focus on enjoying the lifestyle rather than future renovations. The thoughtfully designed primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet. Perfectly positioned within the world-renowned Boulders community, residents enjoy championship golf, tennis, pickleball, fine dining, hiking trails, fitness facilities, and a vibrant resort lifestyle just moments from the front door. This is more than a beautifully renovated residence--it is a private desert sanctuary that combines the feel of a custom luxury home with the ease of low-maintenance, resort-inspired living. So now you can just move in with your personal items since every room has been custom designed, remodeled and furnished for you. For discerning buyers seeking exceptional design, remarkable privacy, and true turnkey convenience, The Private Desert Lodge at The Boulders represents one of the community's most compelling opportunities.
