About this home
Iconic Camelback Mountain Estate: A Rare, Once-in-a-Lifetime Buildable Opportunity
Perched on the slopes of the iconic Camelback Mountain, this extraordinary 23.66-acre estate represents one of the last and most significant buildable properties on the mountain. Offering more than 180 degrees of sweeping valley views—with Camelback's dramatic cliffs rising behind—the property is known throughout the community as the celebrated ''Merry Christmas House.'' Cherished by the same family for decades, it now awaits its next remarkable chapter.
The existing 4,661-square-foot residence, originally built in the 1950s, reflects the timeless influence of Frank Lloyd Wright. Organic architecture, expansive glass walls, stone accents, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living create a tranquil private sanctuary that feels both grounded in the landscape and elevated above the city lights.
Beyond its architectural legacy, the property's 23.66 acres offer exceptional potential for future development, including the opportunity to subdivide into up to four parcels. Whether envisioning a family compound, multiple luxury estates, or reimagining the existing residence, the possibilities are unparalleled. Conceptual floorplan and site plan designs by renowned architect Mark Candelaria are also available to inspire your vision.
Privately gated and surrounded by natural desert beauty, this estate combines unmatched privacy, panoramic vistas, and rare development flexibilityall just minutes from the heart of the city. Whether preserved, expanded, or completely transformed, this is a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of Arizona history on one of its most iconic mountain peaks....
