Rare fully renovated Cave Creek estate at the end of a private road on 1.214 acres, with Black Mountain views, no HOA, natural gas, and a 30x40 RV garage. That combination almost never comes to market in this pocket. Natural gas alone is a genuine standout on a Cave Creek county island, where most homes run electric or propane. This single-level home lives large and easy with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a flex space, soaring 14-foot ceilings, and a bright open floor plan built for indoor-outdoor living. No carpet anywhere, just modern designer tile throughout. The remodeled kitchen is anchored by dual islands, Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and custom white oak cabinetry. A full Monogram appliance package includes a built-in refrigerator, a 48-inch gas cooktop, and a dedicated ice maker, with a walk-in pantry just off the prep space. The kitchen opens to the great room and a dining area with a built-in buffet, and folding glass walls disappear to connect the entire living space to a full-length covered patio. The primary suite is its own retreat with a gas fireplace, a soaking tub, a large walk-in shower, and dual his-and-her closets. Every bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own private ensuite, so guests, extended family, or multi-generational living all work without compromise. A pool bath with direct outdoor access rounds out the layout and sets the home up beautifully for a future pool. Outside is where this property separates itself. A 30x40 high-clearance RV garage with electric sits alongside an oversized side-load 3-car garage with built-in cabinetry. Drive-through lot access and automatic gates at both the front entry and the rear mean you pull straight through with an RV, boat, or trailer and never touch a gate. Add horse privileges and 1.214 acres, and you have room for a motorhome, toys, animals, a workshop, or a business. There is space to add a pool, guest casita, equestrian setup, or sport court and make it entirely your own. Buyer to verify feasibility and intended use. Behind the finishes, the home features a new roof in 2026 with a 5-year warranty, two HVAC units with one replaced in 2025, updated light fixtures throughout, whole-home water filtration by H2O Concepts, and central vacuum. Serviced by City of Scottsdale water, Southwest Gas, APS electric, and private septic.
