Sweeping mountain views, an attached casita, a private resort-style backyard and a dramatic 20-foot multi-slide door define this fully upgraded Cordoba at Trilogy at Verde River. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the great room opens completely to expansive entertaining spaces and beautiful views toward Tonto National Forest. The chef's kitchen centers around a massive waterfall island and features JennAir appliances, a farmhouse sink and a custom Portuguese tile backsplash. A dedicated wine, coffee and beverage bar adds custom cabinetry, full brick detailing and JennAir refrigeration.

The extensively private backyard is a true Arizona resort, featuring a custom pool and heated spa, three cascading fountain features, a substantial artisan-stone privacy wall, an outdoor fireplace, silver-gray travertine and multiple areas for lounging and entertaining. A dedicated pizza-oven station with generous surrounding preparation space completes the outdoor experience, while mature landscaping, the adjacent natural wash and sweeping mountain views provide an exceptional sense of privacy and connection to the desert. Extensive structural upgrades, premium finishes, custom landscaping and thoughtful design distinguish this exceptional residence from standard builder offerings.
