4BR Ranch + Pool + Horses • Mayo/TPC 10 min

Most Scottsdale rentals are stucco-and-pool. This one's dirt-and-hay.



A life-size cowboy waits at the driveway — that's Rip, he doesn't say much — with his beast of burden Beth... who's got a lot to say. Behind him: a low ranch house with burnt-orange garage doors, Spanish-tile roof, mature date palms, the McDowell Mountains on the horizon. Pull past the dry-creek bed, open the hand-forged iron doors, the city drops away.



Newly remodeled top to bottom. Palm Springs bones, Sonoran soul.



Why you'll love the Hideout



- Vader the horse and two mini donkeys (Cowboy and Eeyore) on the property. Not décor. Feed them carrots over the rail at golden hour.

- The pool and the patio. Kidney pool, rust-orange loungers, bougainvillea, turf lawn, McDowells in the distance.

- A house that actually fits eight. Four bedrooms (two kings, two queens), two living rooms, a game room with shuffleboard and foosball, a home gym, a backyard built for the long evening.

- Five minutes to Mayo Clinic. Ten to WestWorld and TPC. Twenty-five to Old Town. You get the quiet and the access.



Inside: mid-century modern cowboy



Floor-to-ceiling Mondrian wood-lattice screen at the entry — the house's signature. Past it, the sunken great room opens up under a jute tapestry of saguaros. Moss-green sectional, plantation shutters, wide-plank oak floors.



Walnut, brass, bouclé. Hand-painted Stetsons. Vaquero-toile bedding. Saddle-leather barstools. A wall-sized painting of wild mustangs running below a desert ridge.



A kitchen that wants to feed people



Granite peninsula, saddle-leather barstools, cherry shaker cabinets stretching the length of the room. Viking six-burner gas range, Sub-Zero column fridge, convection oven, Coffeemaker. The wallpaper — navy with copper sunburst medallions — is the quiet showpiece. Dining room a step away, oval walnut table, six bouclé chairs.



You don't eat in shifts here. The whole crew eats together.



Two living rooms, because eight people need room to scatter



The sunken great room is for the movie. Mounted flat-screen, green sectional, saguaro tapestry.



The kitchen den is for the conversation. Cognac leather, French doors to the patio so the kids can run between inside and pool.



When the talk turns to "what should we do?", the game room is the answer. Vintage shuffleboard, cast-iron foosball, two teal mid-century lounge chairs. Somebody's losing dignity tonight.



Four bedrooms, four moods



- The Primary — King. Vaquero-toile duvet, white bouclé reading chair, brass arc lamp, wall-mounted TV. Walk-in closet. Ensuite with navy 3D-faceted tile floor-to-ceiling, blue-and-amber granite slab, twin vessel sinks, walk-in shower with bench and handheld wand.

- The Wildflower Room — King. Cottage palette, cane-and-oak headboard, pressed-flower art, blue floral rug. The pretty room. Whoever calls dibs first wins.

- The Wild Card — Queen. Mid-century walnut, olive velvet platform bed, brass dog lamp, vintage UFO-collage art on the walls. Pure Palm Springs.

- The Desert Room — Queen. Curved taupe headboard, ginger-jar lamps, a black-and-white photograph of horses on a desert ridge above the bed.



Every bedroom: ceiling fan, plantation shutters or blinds, oak-tone floors.



The cowgirl bath



Sage subway-tile feature wall, walnut reeded vanity, encaustic-pattern blue-and-rust floor tile, deep tub-shower combo behind frameless glass, and a framed pink Stetson painting watching the whole room. Guests nicknamed it the first time they saw it. It stuck.



Out back



Push open the orange French doors. Covered patio with green-painted beams, travertine underfoot, built-in stainless BBQ island, ceiling fan. Turf lawn bordered by white block planters and magenta bougainvillea. Kidney pool with brass handrail, sun shelf, wrought-iron child-safety fence, rust-orange loungers arranged for sunset. The McDowells are on the horizon past the fence.



This is where you'll spend the back half of every day. Bring a bourbon. Sit a while.



The atrium



Tucked in the middle of the house: a private interior atrium with a three-tier stone fountain, succulents, soft uplight. Coffee in pajamas, no neighbors, just the fountain and the desert sky overhead.



Meet the crew



Vader runs the paddock — big and dark, acts moody, he's a softie. Eeyore is the loudmouth donkey. Cowboy is the other donkey, a gentle soul who'd like you to know his life is hard.



They live on the back half of the lot, behind a block-wall divider that keeps the guest yard separate from the paddock. Grab carrots from the kitchen, walk out to the rail, they'll come over. Kids love it. Adults with a bourbon at dusk love it more.



No riding — they're for feeding and watching, not for saddling up.



Bringing your own horse?



One or two stalls available depending on dates — just message us first to coordinate. Heads up: we provide the space, not the labor. Feed, hay, mucking, and daily care are on you. You're boarding on our property, not using a full-service stable.

Epoxy floor, painted-brick wall, full mirror, hex dumbbell rack, kettlebell, ab mat, yoga blocks, stability ball. Morning lift before the house is up.
