The Residence
Set on a private cul-de-sac lot in Desert Mountain — the 8,000-acre guard-gated community in north Scottsdale — 10381 E Loving Tree Lane is an extensively reimagined contemporary residence. Originally designed and built with the vision of JSF Design, the home has since been thoughtfully refined inside and out by the current owner. The result is a single-level 4,007-square-foot estate where timeless desert architecture meets the polish of a modern luxury build.
Walls of glass connect the great room and kitchen to a fire-feature pool, infinity spa, and an extended outdoor living terrace framed by Sonoran Desert and the silhouette of the McDowell Mountains. Inside, designer finishes — dark wood ceilings, stacked stone columns, statement lighting, polished concrete floors — carry through every room. Every system has been touched: Lutron smart lighting, in-ceiling speakers, water filtration, climate, security.
Outdoor Living
The current owner's most extensive work has been outside. The pool was resurfaced, in-pool stools added, and equipment upgraded with both an electric heater and a 5,000-BTU gas heater that doubles as a chiller for summer evenings. A 60-foot fire feature anchors the western wall. An extended bar area and outdoor kitchen sit beneath a wood-clad covered patio with ten outdoor speakers and subwoofers, custom misting controlled by Wi-Fi, and hotel-grade Scolaro umbrellas permanently mounted in place.
The design choreographs sunset perfectly. Direct sight lines from the great room, kitchen, and primary suite all open onto the same view corridor — mountains to the north, valley lights to the south.
Inside & Out
Features & Upgrades
Beyond the cosmetic, the home has been mechanically and electronically reimagined — the kind of work a buyer never has to redo, and rarely sees catalogued in one place.
The Plan
The home flows on one level with a generous split floor plan: the primary suite occupies its own wing with a private fireplace, walk-in closet, and direct pool access; two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths sit on the opposite wing. The great room, kitchen, and dining open uninterrupted to the covered patio and pool beyond.
The Community
Desert Mountain is one of the most established luxury master-planned communities in the American Southwest. Set against the McDowell Mountains in north Scottsdale, the community is guard-gated with a 24-hour staffed entry and a private security force. Inside the gates: seven Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, an award-winning private club, six clubhouses, tennis and pickleball complexes, a fitness center, hiking trails through the high desert, and a dedicated community spa.
The community has evolved across more than three decades into one of the most desirable luxury enclaves in Arizona. Residents range from full-time families to seasonal residents and retirees drawn to the climate, the privacy, and the stable values of the community. Membership in Desert Mountain Club is separate from real estate ownership and is available for purchase to owners.

Paradise Valley, Scottsdale & Desert Mountain Luxury REALTOR
Marta Walsh is among Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Desert Mountain's most established luxury real estate advisors, representing premier Arizona properties for fifteen years at Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty. A member of Lyon's Elite — the top 1% of agents at the firm — she leads The Marta Walsh Group serving clients across Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Desert Mountain, and the broader Phoenix luxury market.
Marta's path to real estate is unusual and exacting. A graduate of NYU Stern School of Business in Finance & Marketing, she began her career as a market maker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She later founded TalkingMakeup, a leading U.S. fashion and beauty digital publication — an experience that sharpened the marketing instincts she now brings to every property she represents.
She knows north Scottsdale's gated communities — Desert Mountain, Mirabel, Estancia, Whisper Rock, Silverleaf — the way only fifteen years of focused practice can teach. Her reputation rests on three things: rigor in the numbers, fluency in the marketing, and a service ethic that clients describe as unparalleled.
