Lost Star 36 presents a rare opportunity for a sophisticated, forward-thinking investor to secure a premium homesite in Desert Mountain, perhaps the premier community of its type in the United States. Ideal Buyer Profile: A discerning individual who: - May not be interested in golf but sees long-term value in HOA restriction protected, gated, recreational and lifestyle-oriented property. - Might represent a family office focused on generational wealth and memory-rich investments. - Understands there are many more non-golfers in the world than golfers, and that this market segment knows and appreciates that private, gated golf communities typically have real estate more valuable than non-golf course community real estate. - Understands global real estate trends, especially what happens when supply completely stops, and demand keeps growing, as is the case for this caliber of lot in Desert Mountain. - Desires to preserve and grow wealth through assets valued for lifestyle return as much as financial performance. - Is focused on high-quality U.S. real estate, particularly in scenic Arizona, and in one of its most affluent developments. - Appreciates an opportunity to build a home in an area not known for fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters. Why Desert Mountain? Buyers will recognize Desert Mountain as superior among gated communities due to: - High elevation, clean air, and breathtaking views. - Robust community features: social, recreational, and year-round engagement. - Access to elite healthcare and private air travel. - Limited supply: no additional land to develop, meaning rising long-term value. - Optional access to a private club ranked in the top ten in the country. The most valuable homesites in Desert Mountain typically include: - Privacy (either through size or topography). - No risk of noise from road traffic, or people or equipment on golf courses - Expansive views, and no risk of losing them due to future construction. - South-facing exposure, for winter sun and panoramic views (city lights, mountain ranges, sunsets). - Buildable land with gentle slope and no construction obstacles. - One-level living potential, large building envelope. - Central, elevated location, yet close to clubhouses and gates. Lost Star 36 excels on all these fronts. Site Details: - Size: 31,260 sq. ft., north of and adjacent to a 76,110 sq. ft. undevelopable HOA parcel. - Combined Privacy Buffer: 107,370 sq. ft. (2.46 acres). - Elevation: ~3,350' ASL ideal for year-round enjoyment with cooler summers and mild winters. - Building Envelope: 18,272 sq. ft., suitable for a 6,000+ sq. ft. single-level home. - Driveway Access: Ideal NW entry point allows for functional design - visitor parking to the north, garage to NE, kitchen and family rooms to the sunny E and SE. - Protected Views: 100% protected southern views; southeast views to the McDowell Mountains are also protected: these views are over a currently undeveloped lot, but that lot is owned by a neighbor for downhill view protection and not likely to be sold separately. If it were sold separately, the views would remain unobstructed in any event due to parapet height restrictions.
