Painstakingly renovated over the years, this residence honors its Beadle pedigree with clean lines, balanced massing, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Set on more than two pristine desert acres, the home retains its original integrity; low horizontal forms, signature overhangs, ground-level glazing, and the timeless "Beadle Box" floorplan, while embracing modern comfort through a carefully crafted expansion.

The property includes a newer, detached, three-car garage with glass doors and dedicated shop area, ideal for collectors or creative pursuits. This amenity, rare among Beadle homes, adds practicality without compromising design integrity. Cherished and improved over decades, the home stands as a living testament to both architectural vision and meticulous stewardship. Located amidst pristine desert preserves, near premier golf, hiking, and the refined amenities of Cave Creek and North Scottsdale, it is a rare fusion of design pedigree and desert luxury. A Note on Desert Ranch: Before the rise of North Scottsdale's master-planned communities, there was Desert Ranch, a visionary enclave conceived by developer Wally Barrett in the late 1970s. Intended as a modernist desert retreat, Desert Ranch was adorned with a striking eagle logo created by the legendary design firm Chermayeff & Geismar. symbolizing bold design and freedom in the desert. Barrett commissioned Beadle to design four homes within the development, each harmonizing with the land's natural washes and untouched desert terrain. Though the original project was ultimately absorbed into today's Legend Trail, the original 36 Desert Ranch lots remain distinct, still governed by their own covenants and preserving the spirit of Beadle's architectural legacy.
