If this former home of suns owner Robert Sarver looks familiar, it’s because last year this property was the #1 most expensive home sold in Arizona (for 2019).  Owned for less than a year, the sellers resold this home for 1.6M more than they paid. Unfortunately an even more expensive home stole the title for the #1 most expensive home this year. Nonetheless, it’s still a marvel of a property that deserves recognition.

17 Acres of hillside land in the Silverleaf community doesn’t come cheap.  This property is now the new Arizona record holder for most expensive home EVER sold. In addition to the custom basketball court, game room and yoga studio, the property also owns the mountain on which is sits on, custom private hiking trails included. The original owner situated the home so the main living areas all line up directly with the Scottsdale airport runway so the kids can watch dads jet land from the living room when coming home from work.
