The separate auctions close online on 17 October via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, in cooperation with Frank Aazami of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.

Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions announced today that bidding has officially opened for two stunning properties in Scottsdale’s prestigious Desert Mountain community. The properties—an exquisite Tuscan villa known as The Chiricahua Estate and a sprawling 4.88-acre lot—are being auctioned separately in cooperation with Frank Aazami of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding for The Chiricahua Estate has opened at US$3.125 million, while bidding for the buildable lot opens at US$250,000. Both auctions will culminate online on 17 October via the firm’s online marketplace.

The Chiricahua Estate, listed for US$5.9 million, is a Mediterranean-style villa designed by renowned architect James Hann and built by the esteemed Dugally Oberfeld. The separate lot, nestled within the Lone Mountain Village of the development, is listed for US$950,000. These two opportunities awaiting in the renowned Sonoran Desert offer buyers a chance to own a piece of Scottsdale luxury.

“These auctions present a distinctive chance for buyers to acquire one of two exceptional properties within the Desert Mountain Village: the artfully crafted Chiricahua Estate or an expansive 4.88-acre lot” said Chad Roffers, CEO and co-founder of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. “Each property offers its own unique appeal, and by leveraging our global network and our high-profile auction platform, we are connecting discerning buyers with these exclusive opportunities, ensuring that each property finds their rightful new owner and reaches their full market potential.” 

Located at 42398 North 102nd Street, the Chiricahua Estate represents the pinnacle of desert luxury. The Tuscan-inspired villa showcases exquisite custom finishes, designed to harmonize with the Sonoran Desert's natural beauty. The use of stone, wood, and other natural materials enhances both its architectural elegance and its seamless integration into the surrounding landscape. Inside, the estate flows effortlessly from formal, distinctive spaces to casual, inviting ones, making it perfect for both grand entertaining and everyday living. Expansive windows and French doors offer stunning views and create a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The outdoor living areas are equally impressive, anchored by an infinity pool and hot tub that provide breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the desert, colorful sunsets, and the 18th green of the Chiricahua Golf Course. The primary terrace, shaded by native trees and surrounded by lush desert plants, is ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments. As evening falls, the estate sparkles with views of Scottsdale’s city lights and a canopy of starlit skies, offering a magical backdrop for any occasion.

Nearby, in the prestigious Lone Mountain Village of Desert Mountain, a 4.88-acre lot at 9315 East Aw Tillinghast Road #31 provides a rare opportunity to build a custom residence. With a generous 23,194-square-foot building envelope, the lot is positioned to maximize panoramic views of mountain ranges, golf courses, and the vibrant desert. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, this lot offers both privacy and easy access via Carefree Ranch and Pima Road.

Convenience is paramount with this prime parcel, benefiting from dual access points via Carefree Ranch and Pima Road, allowing for effortless connectivity to the community’s top amenities.  Residents are just minutes from the Sonoran Fitness and Tennis Center, featuring tennis courts, swimming pools, and a luxury spa. The nearby Tonto National Forest offers private hiking trails through pristine wilderness, perfect for those who crave both tranquility and adventure. Whether it’s the dramatic sunsets or the sparkling city lights, this property promises a serene, elevated lifestyle in one of Scottsdale’s most coveted locales.

“The Chiricahua Estate, with its exceptional design, panoramic views, and luxury amenities, epitomizes desert elegance within Scottsdale’s prestigious Desert Mountain community,” said Aazami. “Alongside this masterpiece, the expansive 4.88-acre lot offers a rare opportunity to craft a bespoke residence amid the stunning high Sonoran Desert. Although these properties are being auctioned separately, together they present a unique and unparalleled opportunity in Scottsdale’s luxury real estate market. We look forward to working with Concierge Auctions once again to find the perfect buyers.”
