5040 E Rockaway Hills Dr

Set on 5 private hillside acres overlooking Cave Creek, this single-level custom home offers the kind of quiet and views that are hard to find. Mornings open to Black Mountain and the Cave Creek Mountains, evenings bring some of the best sunsets in the desert, and at night the city lights glow in the distance. A home with views like these, on land this private, rarely comes to market. There's no HOA, and the home has a brand-new roof. The 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 4,471 sq ft split floor plan gives the owner's suite its own wing, with 3 ensuite guest suites and an office on the other side, giving everyone their own space. The kitchen features a Thermador oven and microwave, a Wolf convection stovetop and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The heated pool and spa have updated equipment and a new Pebble Tec finish and tile. Carefully maintained and updated, it has brand-new well pumps, solar, EV charging, Starlink Business internet, a new energy-efficient water heater and washer/dryer, new Nest smoke/CO detectors and freshly filled propane tanks. Recent improvements also include new paint, LED lighting throughout, remote-controlled blinds, new garage doors with camera-equipped openers, new landscaping, deck boxes, a custom front fountain and resealed vigas. Hiking trails are about 10 minutes away, and so is downtown Cave Creek, a genuine Old West town with saloons, live music, local restaurants, galleries and shops, where you may still see horses tied up out front. Deer, owls, javelinas, roadrunners and hummingbirds are regular visitors, and Nacho Libre, the neighbors' donkey at the bottom of the hill, is a local favorite.
