Paradise Valley was founded around the idea of one home per acre, so most of its $1M+ homes sit on lots of an acre or more all across town, between Camelback Mountain on the south and the Phoenix Mountains on the west, with Mummy Mountain in the middle. Expect custom homes, mountain views and extra design review on hillside lots.
I'm Terry Day with DeLex Realty. This page shows homes priced at $1 million and up on lots of at least one acre (43,560 square feet) in the Town of Paradise Valley. Here is what I checked on the Town's own pages, Maricopa County rules and local news, written in my own words, so you know what comes with a big lot here before you fall for one.

The big lots here are not an accident. According to the Town's history page, homes went up after World War II on lots of one to five acres, and in 1961 residents asked the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to let them form their own town. They were worried that Phoenix or Scottsdale would annex them and their rural feel would disappear. Their goals were simple: one house per acre, a town that is almost entirely residential, and a small local government. The Town was incorporated on May 24, 1961, and its boundaries were mostly settled by 1968.
That plan still shapes the market. Local reporting on the Town's zoning says the R-43 district, which means one home per 43,560 square feet, covers roughly two thirds of the land, and the General Plan keeps a one-acre minimum lot size. Some older areas have different districts, so always check the zoning on a specific parcel.
In most cities a large-lot home is found on the edge of town. In Paradise Valley it is the whole town. You will find acre-plus homes on flat land near Lincoln Drive and Tatum Boulevard, and on the slopes of the mountains. A few areas buyers ask me about:
The town also has resorts, which are allowed only by Special Use Permit. The Town's resort list includes the JW Marriott Camelback Inn, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia, Mountain Shadows, the Hermosa Inn and others. If a home borders a resort, read the resort's permit terms on the Town website so you know what can and can't be built next door.
A lot on the side of a mountain looks wonderful, but it comes with rules. The Town has a Hillside Building Committee of six members (three residents appointed by the Council and three rotating Planning Commissioners). It reviews new homes, remodels, pools, solar and accessory buildings on hillside lots, and looks at how much land is disturbed, building height, lighting, materials, grading and drainage. The Town's FAQ lists a 24-foot maximum building height on hillside lots and limits on outdoor lighting. The Town has a GIS map that shows which parcels fall under the hillside rules, so check it before you plan a remodel or a new pool.
Many acre-plus homes here have a guest house or casita. Before you count on one, ask the Town what is allowed on that lot. Arizona's newer accessory dwelling law applies to larger cities, not to a town the size of Paradise Valley, so the Town's own code governs. If you plan to rent the home short-term, the Town requires a short-term rental permit. Under state law the whole property is rented as one unit, guest buildings can't be rented separately, and an HOA can have its own limits. Splitting a lot depends on the minimum lot size and width for its zoning district, and variances go to the Board of Adjustment.
Most of Paradise Valley is served by Scottsdale Unified School District, and a smaller part falls in Phoenix-area districts. Despite its name, Paradise Valley Unified serves northeast Phoenix and north Scottsdale, not the Town. Confirm the school assignment for any address with the district.
Buyers at this level compare land, views and privacy as much as square footage. When I price a Paradise Valley home, I look at recent sales with similar lot size, view and hillside status, not just the same bedroom count. Read how I price an Arizona home to sell, and if a buyer may want to take over your loan, see my assumable mortgage page.
No, but most are. The R-43 one-acre district covers most of the town and the General Plan sets a one-acre minimum, while some older areas have other zoning, so check the parcel.
Yes. Hillside lots go through the Town's Hillside Building Committee, which reviews grading, height, lighting and materials, and the Town's FAQ lists a 24-foot height limit on hillside lots.
It depends on the home. Many are on septic, which means a pre-sale inspection and a county Notice of Transfer, while others connect to Phoenix or Town sewer.
Not as a short-term rental. Under state law and the Town's rules, a short-term rental is rented as one whole property, and the Town requires a permit.
