A rare gem has emerged in the highly sought-after community of Paradise Valley. Compass Arizona co-founder Chris Karas is now listing this newly constructed 5,002-square-foot luxury estate for $7.8 million. With a private guest house, sprawling six-car garage, and stunning architecture, this residence is poised to be one of the most coveted properties in the area.
Crafted by renowned architect Jack Black and landscaped by Greey | Pickett, this estate exemplifies sophisticated design and craftsmanship. Every inch is modern luxury, boasting state-of-the-art amenities and high-end finishes. The property features an advanced home automation system that controls everything from lighting and music to security gate access and an upgraded indoor and outdoor sound system.
Constructed in 2024, the home showcases an impressive selection of premium materials. The interior exudes elegance with Italian leathered Taj Mahal quartzite, which adds a luxurious touch to the space. Three en-suite bathrooms feature Italian Pietra Imperial Marble, Brazilian Blue Roma Quartzite and Italian Onice Multicolor Persiano Polished Onyx finishes.
The residence also boasts custom-built black walnut furniture, including beds and bedroom cabinetry, further elevating its sophisticated aesthetic. A frameless, magnet-anchored pivot door in the primary suite provides an eye-catching focal point, while the primary bathroom offers a resort-style experience, complete with an outdoor shower.
Vintage French burl walnut veneer desks from the 1950s add a touch of timeless elegance, blending seamlessly with the home’s modern design.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor living, this estate features a raised negative-edge pool and spa complemented by a water feature. The custom firepit and built-in Weber grill offer additional spaces for outdoor gatherings, while two natural gas fireplaces – one of which offers indoor-outdoor visibility- further enhance the estate’s charm. A vast rear lot offers potential for additional custom upgrades, such as garages or a pickleball court.
For wine aficionados, the home also includes a luxurious African Mahogany wine closet with a 1,000-bottle capacity, complete with a commercial cooling system and temperature alarm notifications for added security.
The estate’s six-car garage is a standout feature for automotive enthusiasts. It includes a two-vehicle show garage with a covered canopy, pre-plumbing for solar power, space for two power walls, and EV charging stations. There is room for remote RV storage next to the guest house.
