It will be hard to ever leave this desert oasis, set in nearly an acre of land in Scottsdale, Arizona. The house has been designed to entertain – whether its little ones or big kids – with playthings at every turn. Family and friends can fill time with endless competitions: on the pool's diving board, the pitch and putt, the snooker table, or the table tennis table. For a slower pace, the large pool has fountains that light up at night and an outdoor spa while, inside the master bedroom's en-suite has a deep jacuzzi bath. There are plenty of excellent restaurants and bars a short drive away, but the home has everything you need to put on an epic feast. Cooks can try out their skills in the chef's kitchen or whip up something delicious on the outdoor grill. When the temperature does start to dip, a fire pit and stand-alone flame feature in the garden will keep you warm, with mountain views as your backdrop. Inside, the house has a classic stone and wood theme, with several living rooms and a separate office space, if you need some peace and quiet.
