“A gated community of sequestered homes”
Google tracks your whereabouts. Facebook tracks your relationships. Amazon listens to your every word. Privacy is dead and social media holds the smoking gun. Our personal lives are considered profit bearing bundles of appetites and expenditures, a digital database drained daily to feed a growing horde of information miners intent on knowing your every move. It’s creepy when you think about it, so we don’t. We’ve become the animals on a wildlife show, tagged and tracked, our behavior studied, scrutinized, so the experts can better understand the misunderstood. If we collectively track the collective decisions of every individual in the collective, and punish those who stray from the provided path, a marketing Utopia awaits us in a future where decisions and choices no longer need to exist because what we ‘need’ will be decided for us. Goodnight individualism. Hello Convenience!
No thank you.
A private life is a happy life. Our privacy is our superpower. What society doesn’t know society cannot ruin. This home, in Hidden Hills, behind a gate, sequestered from its surroundings, tucked into the end of the cul de sac, is a fortress of solitude. You can see the world from up here, but it can’t see you back. In a world where so many people show and tell every nook and cranny of their lives, privacy becomes a limited commodity of incalculable value, but it is added value nonetheless. There’s a well of the stuff underneath this property. My momma always said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, only a moron would share it with everybody”.

“Own a piece of history “
It’s a piece of something all right. Seven bedrooms. Six bathrooms. Orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, there is a lot of house here with a lot of work to be done. Feeling Lucky? Buried underneath this blanket of deferred maintenance are the bones of a tremendous Family compound opportunity. Let’s start with location. This is one of a handful of holdouts that did not sell when the city of Chandler came to build the Snedigar Sportsplex, which surrounds this property. Step out this front door and you step onto that 90-acre complex which has a skate park, a dozen soccer fields, baseball fields, dog park, playgrounds, picnic areas, and is the hub of neighborhood activity for the surrounding lake communities. For a multi-generational family, there is something to do or watch right outside, every day of every week.
Prepare for testing the magnetic strip limits of your Lowe’s card as the interior looks like something Seal Team 6 would breach. This price is dirt cheap as you’re paying mostly for the dirt. Consider it potting soil for a large family tree. Some remodeling work has been started, but the majority of this compound’s interest requires further polishing. Aside from the pool and park, we find one 3-story main house, a detached 2/2 Guest House, and two additional Casitas. If your family feels like a full-blown circus, well, here’s your tent!

“The expansive lawn includes lots of grass and trees”
A lawn that includes grass!?! Man, what will they think of next? A client commented to me over the weekend that, “A million dollars just doesn’t go very far these days.” To which I replied, “It depends on where you send it.”
Welcome to Lehi, one of the best answers to the Million Dollar question. Lehi is a Green Acres community. Farm livin’ is the life you see, with land spreadin’ out so far and wide, you can keep North Scottsdale, just give me that countryside! The lots are humongous, so the opportunities are rare. This is one our hidden gem communities.
Lehi is located closer to downtown Scottsdale than most of Scottsdale is. Lehi was originally settled by Mormons, the area is named after a Mormon, there is a gigantic Mormon Temple and enough of a Mormon community that the bike lanes are double wide. The Mormons arrived here in 15 wagons back in the 1870’s. They had shovels, guns, and fortitude. There was no A/C. Those folks built buildings back then that are still standing in Lehi today. Think Toll Brothers could do the same? There’s a history of quality here. Everyone is welcome.
There is no HOA. We should mention the Seller is offering the near acre lot across the street For Sale as well (Pic #34).
If you have a million dollars burning a hole in your pocket, would you mind if I followed you around for a day or two?
