The Space:
Welcome to The Château Sur La Montagne, one of Phoenix’s most iconic hilltop estates—an architectural masterpiece perched atop 1.5 private gated acres on Piestewa Peak with breathtaking 270° panoramic views of Downtown Phoenix and the surrounding mountains. Designed by renowned Beverly Hills architect Edmund “Ed” Guilbert and spanning more than 8,000 square feet, this sculptural estate blends dramatic architecture, rare desert landscaping, and resort-level amenities to create one of the most extraordinary private retreats in Arizona.
From the moment you arrive, the estate announces itself as something truly special. A dramatic entry reveals floating wood staircases, sculptural stone walls, and a tranquil reflecting pond, setting the tone for a residence where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony. Throughout the home, moody hardwoods, natural stone, and curated design elements frame expansive glass view corridors that capture Phoenix’s glowing skyline and surrounding mountain ranges from nearly every vantage point.
The estate features six bedrooms plus a fully appointed pool house, offering exceptional space and flexibility for groups seeking privacy and luxury. Eight unique bathrooms include extraordinary spa-inspired details such as a Japanese soaking suite, vintage gold clawfoot tub, bidets, and dramatic stone-wrapped showers designed for indulgent relaxation.
Additional wellness amenities include a private indoor sauna, jacuzzi, and a glass single-passenger elevator connecting the home’s dramatic levels. Multiple gathering spaces invite connection and entertainment, including two bespoke living rooms, a billiards loft, and a full bar lounge, creating the perfect environment for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings.
The estate is equally designed for elevated culinary experiences. The residential chef’s kitchen is equipped with premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Viking appliances, while a separate commercial kitchen and walk-in freezer allow for catered events and private chef experiences with ease.
Across the front of the estate, bedroom terraces open to sweeping city-light views, offering unforgettable sunsets and sparkling nighttime panoramas over the Valley.
Step outside and the property transforms into a private hillside resort unlike anything else in Phoenix.
A 30,000-gallon heated pool with cascading waterfall anchors the outdoor experience, surrounded by expansive skyline terraces and multiple lounge areas designed to capture the breathtaking views. Ten luxury loungers provide space for relaxed afternoons beneath the Arizona sun.
The fully equipped pool house expands the outdoor living experience with its own kitchen, bar, living room, fireplace, 75” television, and two bathrooms with showers—along with a sleeper sofa for additional flexibility.
Recreation is elevated with two regulation pickleball courts, a basketball court, and outdoor bowling, while multiple fountains and a sprawling natural grass lawn create an atmosphere that feels more like a private resort than a traditional residence.
Outdoor dining areas seat up to fourteen guests, complemented by pub tables and grilling stations designed for unforgettable sunset dinners overlooking the Phoenix skyline.
The Château Sur La Montagne is more than a luxury home—it is an architectural landmark. Guilbert’s work, featured in Forbes, is celebrated for its bold geometry, hillside integration, and expressive use of natural materials—elements that reach their peak expression in this remarkable residence.
Today, the estate has been thoughtfully reimagined as a private ultra-luxury retreat, offering guests a rare combination of cinematic architecture, breathtaking views, resort-level amenities, and complete privacy above the Valley.
Few homes in Phoenix deliver this level of scale, design, and unforgettable experience.

This neighborhood is known for its quiet sophistication, well-maintained estates, and its convenient proximity to Phoenix’s most desirable amenities.

Getting Around:
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.
Other Things to Note:
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.
Please note that this home was built in 1981 and remains remarkably original, including many commercial-grade components. While the property is well cared for, older mechanical systems can occasionally require attention. We respond quickly and efficiently to resolve any issues should they arise.
Events may be permitted upon inquiry. All gatherings must be approved in advance, meet the minimum night stay requirement, and include a significant (up to $20,000) event fee in addition to the nightly rate. Unauthorized events are strictly prohibited.
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.
