Overview
What Are Camelback
Mountain Estates?
Camelback Mountain Estates is the aggregate name for the neighborhoods wrapping the base and lower slopes of Camelback Mountain within Paradise Valley. The mountain, whose distinctive hump and head profile is the most photographed natural landmark in metro Phoenix, creates the visual and spiritual anchor for the most prestigious residential addresses in the entire town.
Properties range from renovated midcentury ranch homes on generous lots at the mountain’s base to dramatic contemporary estates on the lower hillside slopes with panoramic views of the Valley, the Phoenix skyline, Mummy Mountain, and the McDowell range. The view premium in Camelback Mountain Estates is the most significant in all of Paradise Valley real estate: hillside properties with unobstructed panoramic views command $20M or more.
Camelback Mountain Estates properties benefit from direct access to Echo Canyon and Cholla trailheads, the two most popular hiking routes on the mountain. For many residents, the trailhead is literally a short walk from the front door. This proximity to Arizona’s most celebrated outdoor recreation asset is a lifestyle advantage that cannot be replicated elsewhere in PV.
The area also benefits from proximity to multiple Paradise Valley resorts: the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort (perched on the north slope), Mountain Shadows (at the western base), The Phoenician (at the southeastern base), and the Omni Montelucia (northeast base). Camelback Mountain is quite literally surrounded by world class hospitality.
