Overview

Elevated Luxury in North Scottsdale

Desert Mountain is one of Scottsdale’s most exclusive private communities — an 8,000‑acre, guard‑gated luxury enclave known for world‑class golf, dramatic elevation, and architecturally significant homes. Set along the edge of the Tonto National Forest, it offers cooler temperatures, panoramic views, and a level of privacy that defines true high‑end desert living.

  • 20+ miles of private trails for hiking and biking
  • Elevated climate, often up to 10° cooler than central Scottsdale

This is where luxury buyers come for serenity, space, and a refined, wellness‑driven lifestyle.
