About the host

Host profile image
Born & raised in Minnesota and currently reside in Omaha Nebraska, but we really fell in love with Arizona when our oldest son attended ASU. I have been in the real estate industry for over 20 years and currently own a real estate group and home staging company in Omaha. Having a property in Arizona was a dream come true. Personally, I love to laugh with friends & family. I enjoy design, travel and concerts - in the pit! Raised with Midwest Values to be honest, hardworking & kind.

Why they chose this property

When we were visiting the Phoenix and Scottsdale area we would always find ourselves venturing up to North Scottsdale toward the Four Seasons. It just felt more like home to us with wide open spaces, bigger lot sizes and incredible views. Our Desert Canyon Ranch is placed on a gorgeous 20 acre parcel and the home has a timeless in trend organic modern design.

What makes this property unique

Private 20 acres - Yes, we own the mountain behind the home. Sprawling quite ranch home. Oversized custom heated pool & spa with concrete barrier wall around the property.
