The most expensive home in Arizona is up for sale, and for its $40 million price tag, potential buyers would be getting a lot more than run-of-the-mill household amenities.
The property has a full-sized basketball court, a shark tank, a 12-seat movie theater, and a two-lane bowling alley — and that only scratches the home’s surface.
If sold at its listing price, the mansion would set a record for the highest-selling house in Arizona’s history. The current record — a $33.5 million sale from 2025 — is held by a property just down the road.
The listed 11-bed, 13-bath home sits in Paradise Valley, a desert town that holds the distinction of being the wealthiest zip code in Arizona. Paradise Valley is comprised of about 15 square miles of land, and most of the town’s properties are required to take up a minimum of one acre to maintain the area’s low population density.
Construction of the mansion began in 2020, designed by the owners to have unique spaces for their children’s hobbies. Now, with their kids out of the house, the owners are looking to downsize.
The home’s listing agent, Scott Grigg of the Grigg’s Group Powered by the Altman Brothers, says the home’s eccentric details are unusual for the region and are more commonly found at properties in big coastal cities.
“These types of amenity-driven estates are typically seen in Miami or Los Angeles, but to have something like this here in Arizona is unique,” Grigg told Business Insider.

The market for these types of properties in Arizona is growing, the home’s listing agent says.
Grigg predicts the home will likely attract an out-of-state buyer, perhaps looking to move to Arizona for improved quality of life or lower state taxes. He said Arizona is seeing an influx of new buyers from the nation’s biggest cities.
“$40 million gets you a lot,” Grigg said. “It’ll get you a house on the beach or a large estate in California, but now Arizona is putting itself on the map.”
Paradise Valley sits right next to the city of Scottsdale, which was found to be the country’s fastest-growing hub for millionaires in a 2025 report from Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship firm.
Grigg added that the combination of all the property’s amenities is a big draw for buyers in the home’s price range.
“They want the best of the best and things that stand out,” Grigg said.
The property is split into a main residence and a detached guest house.
The home is just over 23,000 square feet on an estate spanning nearly 2 ¼ acres. But if the main residence’s five guest bedrooms aren’t enough to accommodate visitors, the property also has a separate guest casita.
This includes five bedrooms, a kitchen, and 4 ½ bathrooms. Two fireplaces keep the guest home warm, and a golf putting green sits right outside.
The kitchen in the main residence has a walk-in fridge and freezer.
The kitchen can entertain plenty of guests with a double-oven gas range and a dedicated meat locker. Behind a door is a butler’s pantry, which includes an industrial-style walk-in fridge and freezer.
Both the main residence and guest home are controlled by smart automation systems.
The property is fully automated, with features such as electronic shades and motorized glass doors. The house uses AVA and Crestron automation systems to control home appliances.
The home also has more than 30 wireless phone chargers throughout.
The main bathroom has spa-like features.
Though the home has over a dozen bathrooms, the primary bathroom stands out for its special features.
Dual shower head nozzles, body jets, and a rain shower head make up a steam shower, and there’s a freestanding tub that sits against the opposite wall.
Along another wall, pocket doors open up to reveal a courtyard with an additional tub and outdoor shower.
A 100-year-old bank vault keeps valuables safe.
To ensure maximum security for valuables, the home contains a 100-year-old bank vault that opens into a safe room.
A regulation basketball court means residents can play a full-court game at a moment’s notice.
The property’s basketball court features stadium-style lighting and polished hardwood floors. A Phoenix Suns logo sits at midcourt, and the gym’s walls are padded for safety.
Next to the gym is a wellness center with a red-light sauna and a cold plunge.
Or they can face off in the home’s two-lane bowling alley.
The house’s bowling alley has the look, feel, and technology of a commercial bowling alley, only it’s meant for two. It has automatic ball return and a machine that oils and cleans each lane.
The home’s shark tank sits next to the bowling alley.
An in-home movie theater seats 12.
Equipped with Dolby surround sound, the home’s theater can seat a dozen people.
A golf simulator lets anyone practice their swing without leaving the house.
The golf simulator has a large screen that lets anyone play through a virtual golf course. The simulator also doubles as a shooting and hunting game, with a rifle and a pistol.
A wet bar supplies refreshments for guests in the surrounding rooms.
Sitting right next to the movie theater, bowling alley, and golf simulator, the wet bar acts as an anchor for the surrounding amenities. Ample seating, a pool table, and access to a courtyard complete the room.
The gun room cost over $2 million, according to the home’s listing agent.
The mansion’s gun room is perhaps one of its most attention-grabbing attractions. Aside from the owner’s gun collection, valued at over $1 million, the room is full of custom, state-of-the-art features.
There’s a three-lane shooting range and a custom $300,000 HVAC system, which produces hospital-grade air, according to Grigg. Ventilation systems are important for indoor shooting ranges because of the presence of lead and other toxic chemicals, per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The home has a 20-car garage, with space for 30 more.
Attached to the main house is a large garage that can fit up to 20 cars. The basketball court and other areas can be used for additional parking spaces.
A putting green sits outside for when the weather’s nice enough to hit the links.
Next to the guest casita, a seven-hole putting green lets golfers work on their short game.
A pool with an infinity-edge spa lets residents beat the Arizona heat.
The property’s pool is surrounded by two gazebos with gas and wood-burning grills, as well as a raised viewing deck for lounging.
Despite the home’s eye-catching amenities, the property keeps a low profile in the neighborhood.
Although the house has all the ingredients for loud, extravagant parties, the property blends in with the surrounding homes. The home isn’t visible from the street and sits in a private gated compound that can only be accessed via a long driveway.
For such a high-value property, extensive screening and proof of funds are required for potential buyers, according to Grigg.
