About This Home

As of September 2024

Welcome to your dream golf retreat, nestled in the prestigious gated community of Balera at FireRock, where luxury meets tranquility. Imagine waking up to breathtaking views of the lush fairway and verdant greens framed by majestic mountains stretching across the horizon. Or the front row seats to capture the sunset from your balcony Considered by many to be one the the most beautiful areas in all the valley, with the affluent Firerock as your exclusive address. This is your private sanctuary, boasting not one but two covered balconies offering the best vistas in town. Step inside to discover a warm modern aesthetic, with soaring ceilings and a cozy fireplace. Both the living room and entertainment room are equipped with multiple built-in speakers, ready to transform your home into your personal entertainment haven. Whether you're lounging or hosting, the open layout and bright ambiance ensure every moment is infused with the beauty of the surrounding golf course. The kitchen is a symphony of dark espresso cabinetry and polished granite counters, perfect for creating gourmet delights while savoring the panoramic views of rolling hills.

What sets this property apart from many golf course properties is its unique and modern multi-level layout. With an added bonus of having an exclusive hot tub, the ONLY unit out of 180 that is "grandfathered-in", offering the ultimate in relaxation and entertainment. You'll love the rural community feel, but just minutes from the convenience of grocery stores and gourmet restaurants, and a mere 25-minute drive to Sky Harbor Airport, and 20 minutes to the beating heart of Scottsdale. Nature enthusiasts will also revel in the proximity to Saguaro Lake and McDowell Mountain Range hiking. And the best part? This oasis is half the price of Scottsdale yet double the beauty, with the HOA taking care of all the hassles like roof repairs, landscaping, and community amenities. Picture yourself strolling down to one of two heated community pools for a refreshing dip or enjoying happy hour on your own private decks, soaking in the serenity of a perfect sunset. This property is one of a kind and a true gem.
