Cactus Corridor Lush Desert Estate:
Pool, Turf Lawn & Sport Court

Set in Scottsdale’s coveted Cactus Corridor, this lush desert estate was designed as a move-in-ready resort for a new spec home. Clean white board-and-batten siding, warm wood accents, and stone chimneys set the modern farmhouse tone, while the landscape layers in structured planting, expansive turf, and wide-open views across the property.

At the heart of the design is a long, rectangular pool and spa framed by generous porcelain pavers and a circular fire pit lounge. Large sliders pull the main living spaces straight onto the patio, blurring the edge between indoors and out and creating an easy daily flow from kitchen to pool to seating. An expansive turf lawn runs the length of the rear yard, offering plenty of room for kids, pets, or larger gatherings while keeping maintenance low in the Arizona sun.

Beyond the pool court, a full-size sport court and perimeter planting turn the back of the property into an active zone, buffered by privacy hedges and desert-adapted trees. In front, a restrained desert entry sequence—gravel, flagstone steppers, low accent lighting, and structured arid plantings—leads guests to the dramatic stone-and-wood entry volume. The result is a Scottsdale Cactus Corridor home where lush desert landscape, modern farmhouse architecture, and outdoor living are all designed together from the very first showing. #CactusRose
