Mirabel is a guard-gated private club community in far north Scottsdale, set in the high desert near Carefree and Desert Mountain. Discovery Land Company opened it in the early 2000s around a Tom Fazio golf course, and it remains one of the smallest and most private club communities in the area: a few hundred homesites, most of them custom homes on large desert lots, with views toward Pinnacle Peak, Black Mountain and the McDowells.
Because so few homes exist, Mirabel doesn’t have many sales in a given year. That makes pricing harder than in a larger community. I look closely at the handful of recent Mirabel sales and at comparable homes in nearby club communities, then adjust for your lot, your view, your home’s age and its finishes.
The Tom Fazio course is the center of the club, and it’s known for its routing through natural desert and its mountain views. The clubhouse has dining, a spa, a fitness center, a pool and tennis and pickleball courts. Member events fill the calendar during the cooler months. Details of club amenities and membership can change, so buyers should confirm them directly with the club.
Outside the gate, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve’s northern trailheads and the trails of the Tonto National Forest are close by, and Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area north of Cave Creek adds more hiking. Pinnacle Peak Park is a short drive south.
Carefree’s town center and Cave Creek’s restaurants and shops along Cave Creek Road are the closest places to eat and run errands. For bigger shopping trips, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter are about 25 to 30 minutes south.
Pima Road and Scottsdale Road lead south to Loop 101. Sky Harbor Airport is typically 40 to 50 minutes away off-peak, and Scottsdale Airport serves private aviation. HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center is about 25 to 30 minutes south for hospital care, and Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus is a little farther.
Mirabel buyers are a small, selective group, and many of them are shopping from out of state or buying a second home. I write your listing around the homesite, the view, the architecture and the setting, and back it with professional photography, aerial views, a Zillow 3D Home tour and a dedicated property website. I coordinate gate access for every showing, and I offer live virtual showings for buyers who can’t visit right away.
Before we list, I’ll help you gather the Mirabel Community Association documents and any architectural approvals for past changes to the home. For current prices, inventory and days on market, see the live market report on this page.

For current prices, inventory and days on market, see the live Mirabel market report on this page. Mirabel has only a few hundred homesites and not many sales each year, so I price every home from the sales most like it, in Mirabel and in comparable club communities nearby.
The Mirabel Club offers the Tom Fazio golf course, a clubhouse with dining, a spa and fitness center, a pool, and tennis and pickleball. Club membership is separate from owning a home, so buyers should confirm the current membership options and fees with the club.
Carefree and Cave Creek are the closest towns for dining, coffee and errands, with galleries, Western-style saloons and casual restaurants. El Pedregal at Scottsdale Road and Carefree Highway adds shops and dining. Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and Old Town Scottsdale are farther south for a larger night out.
Pima Road is the main route south to Loop 101. Old Town Scottsdale is usually 35 to 45 minutes away, downtown Phoenix 45 to 55 and Sky Harbor Airport 40 to 50 off-peak. Scottsdale Airport serves private and charter flights. There’s no public transit nearby.
HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center is the nearest full-service hospital, about 25 to 30 minutes away, and Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus is a little farther. Urgent care and primary care offices are closer, along the Carefree Highway and Pima Road corridors. Mirabel is within the City of Scottsdale, which provides fire and EMS service.
Golf, hiking, mountain biking and tennis fill the calendar most of the year. The higher elevation helps a little in summer, and fall through spring is ideal for being outside. Wildlife sightings and dark night skies are part of everyday life here.
The Mirabel Club runs dining events, tournaments and seasonal gatherings for members. Nearby, Carefree hosts art and wine festivals, Cave Creek holds rodeo and Western events, and both towns have farmers’ markets during the cooler months.
Mirabel has the Valley’s sunny desert climate, with hot summers, a monsoon season from about July to September and mild winters. Its elevation usually runs several degrees cooler than central Phoenix. Winter is when many second-home buyers are in town, which is worth considering when we pick a list date.
The Mirabel Community Association enforces CC&Rs and design guidelines, and architectural review applies to new construction and major exterior changes, including materials, landscaping, grading and outdoor lighting. If you’ve remodeled or added to your home, I’ll help you confirm the approvals are on file before we list, since buyers and their agents will ask.
The Scottsdale Airpark and the Loop 101 corridor are the closest major job centers, and HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic are major employers in the north Valley. Many Mirabel buyers work remotely or split their time between homes, so a dedicated office and easy lock-and-leave features are worth highlighting.
For a specific home’s property tax, look up the parcel on the Maricopa County Treasurer’s website. Mirabel Community Association dues cover the gate and common areas, and Mirabel Club membership, if a buyer wants it, carries its own costs. Buyers see the exact HOA figures during escrow. When you sell, I’ll estimate your net proceeds after commission, title, escrow and any transfer fees.
Mirabel is within the City of Scottsdale, which provides police, fire, water, trash and recycling, and maintenance of public roads. The Mirabel Community Association handles the gate, private streets and common areas. Confirm service providers for a specific address with the City of Scottsdale.
