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 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 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.

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.

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.

To ensure maximum security for valuables, the home contains a 100-year-old bank vault that opens into a safe room.

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.

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.

Equipped with Dolby surround sound, the home’s theater can seat a dozen people.

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.

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 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.

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.

Next to the guest casita, a seven-hole putting green lets golfers work on their short game.

The property’s pool is surrounded by two gazebos with gas and wood-burning grills, as well as a raised viewing deck for lounging.

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.
