Mirabel

Boasting a prestigious North Scottsdale address, Mirabel is an exclusive 713-acre community featuring guard-gated neighborhoods and a much-sought-after golf and country club lifestyle. Tucked into the high Sonoran desert at an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, Mirabel's real estate dazzles with luxurious homes, beautiful golf villas and breathtaking custom homesites. Generous building envelopes have been masterfully designed to take maximum advantage of the area's magnificent panoramic views of a veritable blanket of twinkling city lights, stands of statuesque saguaros, the lush desertscape, midnight-black star-filled skies and the soaring spires of the surrounding mountains.

The award-winning private golf course around which much of life at Mirabel revolves was designed by renowned golf course architect, Tom Fazio, who has had several of his courses ranked among the top in the world by his peers as well as industry experts. Considered capable of challenging top-tier PGA-quality players, the course also enjoys a reputation as being forgiving and accommodating for more casual golfers thanks to a traditional design and gently undulating elevation changes that ensure the course is eminently walkable; in fact, caddies are provided if so desired. With five sets of tee-boxes, the par-71 course plays 5,105 yards from the forward tees; from the middle, it's 6,366 yards, while from the back tees, it's a long 7,147 yards. No matter which tee-box you use, the greens tend to roll fast and true, subtle breaks and unique challenges are found throughout and the beauty of Mother Nature is on display at each and every hole.

Other fine amenities at Mirabel include the Desert Lodge, the social and recreational heart of this sumptuous community. This spectacular clubhouse elegantly blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor entertaining and socializing, with numerous alfresco patios and terraces scattered about offering idyllic places for savoring a glass of wine, visiting with friends or simply admiring the sensational scenery found in this elite slice of Arizona heaven. Accentuating the experience is the Lodge's first-rate staff, each of whom is dedicated to your individual needs. What else? How about an ultra-pampering day spa, an immaculately maintained state-of-the-art fitness and health center and a championship-caliber tennis garden with pristine clay courts. Combine all that with art deco-style swimming facilities, poolside cabanas, full-time concierge-style member services and fine dining venues blessed with a top-notch culinary team and you'll understand why so many residents fall in love with life at Mirabel.
