A Phoenix Landmark

Few properties anywhere in Arizona offer this remarkable combination of architectural significance, panoramic scenery, privacy, and resort-caliber amenities.

Château Sur La Montagne isn't simply a luxury vacation home.

It is one of Phoenix's most iconic private estates.

Welcome to one of the most extraordinary stays in the American Southwest.

or getting around, the location offers both privacy and connectivity: driveway access is gated and discreet, while Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive under normal traffic, and downtown Phoenix reachable in around 15–20 minutes, positioning the home ideally for guests arriving by air, driving in for conventions or extending stay-cations. For local outings, ride-share services work seamlessly and valet or guest parking is easily accommodated onsite. Whether you’re evening out in Scottsdale or exploring the valley’s natural terrain, the home serves as both a serene retreat and a central hub.

Please note that this home, originally built in 1981, retains many of its original and commercial-grade systems. While meticulously maintained, these components may occasionally require service. The kitchen features both a commercial and residential side, providing redundancy should an appliance need attention. With seven showers, hot water demand can fluctuate during peak usage, though multiple bathrooms ensure continued convenience. The home operates on a chiller-based HVAC system, which functions differently than standard residential AC—guests are encouraged to review the digital guidebook prior to arrival for clear operating instructions. Our team responds promptly to any issues; however, availability of certain resources may be more limited during evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Events and gatherings are permitted with prior approval. The home accommodates up to 18 overnight guests. Larger events are allowed with an additional event fee based on total attendee count. All events require a signed event agreement, vendor coordination, and event insurance. Weekend events require a full weekend rental.

This estate is supported by a dedicated groundskeeper who services the property twice a week to maintain the rare plant collection, lawns and hillside vegetation. His visits are essential to the health of the grounds, occur for 2–3 hours on two weekday mornings, and are non-intrusive. Because the home sits on the mountain, wind can naturally bring dust or debris onto the patios and stairs between services.

If you would like to add pool heat, there is an additional fee of $100 per night (with a 3-night minimum). Please let us know 48-hours in advance so we can set it up.

The glass elevator is reserved strictly for guests with accessibility needs. It accommodates one person, does not fit wheelchairs, and is not intended as a novelty feature. For safety and longevity, it remains powered off unless requested in advance for necessary use.

The main-floor queen bedroom is a softly shaded and very private suite tucked away from the primary living areas. It features its own full en-suite bathroom and offers a quiet, cozy retreat for guests who prefer a more secluded space. Because of its location within the home, natural light is more limited than in the upper-level view bedrooms, but many guests appreciate its tranquil, tucked-in feel.

The home includes several gas fireplaces that are not regulated by timers. For safety, they may only be used with advance permission and a full in-person tutorial on proper operation.

The garage is not available for guest use by default, but may be opened upon special request prior to arrival. The gated driveway provides ample space for parking, comfortably accommodating eight vehicles or more.

This place is heaven on earth!! Everything was as described and pictures don’t do it justice. It is extremely spacious and has something for everyone to do. We spent a lot of time outside and it was truly a beautiful experience. All the amenities were top notch, it felt like a private resort. The views from every room was breathtaking, I hope to stay here again next time.
