The highly sought-after Residence 6B plan is rarely available within the community & represents one of the most desirable layouts offered. A striking architectural arrival is framed by mature Phoenix palms, layered stonework, curated hardscape & privacy hedging. Custom wrought-iron gates open to a private courtyard anchored by the detached casita--ideal as an executive office, studio, or guest retreat. Inside, soaring ceilings, refined millwork, custom cabinetry & slab stone flooring and countertops create a cohesive, elevated material palette. Expansive retracting glass walls in the great room & kitchen deliver seamless indoor-outdoor living, opening to a south-facing resort setting with sweeping Santa Rosa Mountain views. Significant post-construction enhancements include a professionally integrated Control4 system managing whole-home audio, media, lighting, security & gate access. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both performance & entertaining, featuring Thermador Professional appliances, expansive island seating, walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, warming drawer & commercial-grade ventilation. The flex lounge--arguably the home's signature space--centers around a dramatic illuminated Lumix Quartzite bar with integrated media, surround sound & seamless pass-through to outdoor entertaining areas. The primary suite offers direct backyard access, complemented by a spa-inspired bath with slab finishes & custom wardrobes. Outdoors, the south-facing backyard presents a custom pool & spa, pergola lounge, curated landscaping & mountain views--creating a private, resort-caliber setting. Residents enjoy guard-gated Griffin Ranch & The Griffin Club, offering fitness, Pilates studio, tennis, pickleball, bocce & a 25-meter pool. Opportunities of this caliber are rare. Offered partially furnished. Private presentations available by appointment to qualified buyers.
