Rio Verde Rustic Resort | Pool+Spa| Desert Views

Summary:

Rustic luxury meets desert adventure in this 4,000 sq. ft. mountain-view retreat with a heated pool & spa, saloon game lounge, chef’s kitchen, dining for 14, half basketball court, and scenic patios for sunset cocktails. Split bedroom wings offer privacy, including a grand main suite with fireplace. Ideal for families & groups seeking space, comfort, and unforgettable Scottsdale memories.



The Space:

Welcome to your desert escape—an expansive 4,000 sq. ft. rustic retreat framed by panoramic mountain vistas and designed for unforgettable gatherings. Warm textures, natural stone, and thoughtful spaces create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and inviting, ideal for family vacations, golf trips, or multi-generational stays where everyone has room to unwind.



Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, travertine floors, and an open living space filled with natural light. The great room invites connection with a plush oversized sectional, accent seating, a 70" Smart TV, and a cozy gas fireplace. Just beyond, the dining area seats up to 14 guests for long meals and laughter-filled evenings, joined by additional seating at the pub table and kitchen island for casual conversation and morning coffee moments.



The chef’s kitchen blends rustic charm with modern capability—complete with dual ovens, a large prep island with seating, granite counters, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry stocked for culinary convenience. Whether you're cooking as a group or hiring a private chef, it’s a space built for entertaining.



For late-night fun, your private Saloon Lounge awaits—complete with red-felt pool table, darts, shuffleboard, and an arcade setup for friendly competition and endless entertainment.



Sleeping quarters are thoughtfully split between two wings for privacy and comfort. In the West Wing, three charming guest suites offer rustic ambience—one with a king bed and courtyard access, one queen suite with its own patio, and another queen room with twin-over-full bunk and private patio. They share a well-appointed bath plus an outdoor stone shower for a uniquely Arizona experience.

Across the home, the East Wing hosts the grand Main Suite, featuring a king bed, intimate sitting area with fireplace, patio access overlooking the mountains, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub, tiled shower, and a generous walk-in closet.



Outdoors, desert beauty surrounds you. Multiple tiered patios capture pink sunsets and star-lit nights, with lounge seating around a fire table and a 70” Smart TV, a built-in BBQ island for al fresco dinners, and a stone picnic table perfect for slow brunches or evening meals. Spend warm days in the heated pool and spa, shoot hoops on the half basketball court, wander scenic pathways to the outdoor shower, or enjoy lawn games like Bocce Ball beneath the open sky.



This rustic mountain-view estate is where connection happens naturally—luxury meets comfort, memories unfold with ease, and the desert becomes your backdrop.



Your retreat awaits. Book your stay and experience Scottsdale living wrapped in nature, space, and western charm.
