Description
Iconic Camelback Mountain Estate: A Rare, Once-in-a-Lifetime Buildable Opportunity
Perched on the slopes of the iconic Camelback Mountain, this extraordinary 23.66-acre estate represents one of the last and most significant buildable properties on the mountain. Offering more than 180 degrees of sweeping valley views—with Camelback's dramatic cliffs rising behind—the property is known throughout the community as the celebrated ''Merry Christmas House.''
