Inside the $22.5M El Maro Estates Nightclub Estate

A custom estate in Paradise Valley, Arizona, has come to market at $22.5 million with a feature rarely seen in a residential listing: its own nightclub. The 15,280-square-foot home at 6483 East El Maro Circle sits on two acres inside El Maro Estates, a private community of 18 custom houses between Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Built in 1986 and recently remodeled by Scottsdale-based MDF Development and designer Lauren Wallace, the property includes six bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a basement theater and a primary suite courtyard with a spa and outdoor fireplace. A separate guest suite has its own entrance, kitchen and living room. Outside are a resurfaced tennis court, a pool with a grotto, water slide and jumping platform, plus a pool house with a full kitchen and retractable windows.

The most unusual space came from Evon Fig Interiors, which built out a party barn into a nightclub. Katrina Barrett of Christie’s International Real Estate has the listing and describes it as “the ultimate entertainer’s house.” The unidentified sellers plan to buy another home out of state, downsize to a smaller Phoenix-area property, and split time between the two, according to Barrett.

The listing lands during an active stretch for Paradise Valley’s high end. Earlier this summer, a 20,900-square-foot estate at 5531 East Mockingbird Lane closed at $40.2 million in an all-cash deal, setting an Arizona price record above the $33.5 million record set in February 2025. Barrett said she had earmarked 10 listings for the high season that starts after Labor Day, and six were already under contract.

Why Paradise Valley's Luxury Market Keeps Setting Records

What the Listing Adds to a Record-Setting Local Market

The property's $22.5 million asking price is substantial but not a new record for Paradise Valley; the current Arizona record is $40.2 million. That gap matters: it positions this estate as a move-up or lifestyle purchase in an enclave that has already demonstrated demand for trophies well above this price point. The earlier summer sale and the February 2025 benchmark suggest ultra-high-net-worth buyers are still paying cash for large, custom compounds in this specific suburb.

Why the Agent's Pipeline Comment Matters

Barrett's statement that six of 10 high-season listings were already under contract after Labor Day is a single company's snapshot, not a full market survey. Still, if that pace holds, it reinforces the picture of tight inventory and early-autumn demand in Paradise Valley's luxury tier. The seller's plan to downsize locally rather than exit the market entirely also points to continued confidence in Phoenix-area real estate, though their individual motivation is not market-wide data.

What the Renovation and Amenities Signal

The decision by MDF Development, Lauren Wallace and Evon Fig Interiors to add a nightclub, pool complex and children's play yard suggests the sellers or renovators aimed at buyers who entertain at home and may host multi-generational or event-focused lifestyles. Homes with this level of bespoke entertainment space often depend on finding a specific buyer rather than achieving the broadest possible appeal; the asking price reflects both the build-out cost and that narrower demand.

What 6483 East El Maro Circle Means for Buyers and Sellers

  • For buyers: Use the $40.2 million all-cash sale at 5531 East Mockingbird Lane and the previous $33.5 million record as references, not direct comps for 6483 East El Maro Circle; the $22.5 million ask is well below the top of the market and the right valuation will depend on the nightclub and renovation's condition, lot and square footage.
  • For sellers considering a move: The listing agent's pipeline — six of 10 high-season listings already under contract — suggests the post-Labor Day window is active in Paradise Valley, especially for custom homes in small enclaves such as El Maro Estates.
  • For local owners: Sellers who downsize within the Phoenix area, as these owners plan to do, can keep inventory circulating in a market where very few of the 18 El Maro Estates homes are otherwise likely to trade at once.
