Property Description
Some lots in Rio Verde are just lots. This one is a private sanctuary. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac -- no through traffic, just neighbors who chose to be here -- this beautifully maintained 3 bed/2 bath home sits on an oversized 0.37-acre lot with something rare in this community: a massive wraparound covered patio that transforms outdoor living into the centerpiece of your day. Morning coffee, afternoon shade, evening entertaining -- all wrapped in privacy and mature desert landscaping. Inside: vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, granite kitchen, LVP flooring, skylight & 2-car garage with cabinets. All appliances included. Move-in ready. All within Rio Verde -- a beloved 55+ community NE of Scottsdale with two golf courses, golf-cart streets, pool, pickleball & more.

Supplements
This is the home for the buyer who knows what they want -- outdoor space, genuine privacy, and a layout that works beautifully for this chapter of life.
The single-level design includes zero-grade entry, wide hallways, and finishes chosen for ease and comfort -- the kind of thoughtful details that matter now and will matter even more later. The spacious primary suite offers dual sinks, a soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet.
The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright breakfast nook with direct patio access -- so your morning starts outside if you want it to. Updated luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the main living areas. Newer water heater and updated irrigation system mean the big maintenance items are already handled. Security system owned.
And then there's the patio. The wraparound covered outdoor space is genuinely rare in Rio Verde -- most homes simply don't have a lot this size or this private. Whether it's morning coffee, afternoon shade, or an evening with friends, this is where life happens on El Cortez Place.
Rio Verde Community Highlights:
-- Two 18-hole golf courses (optional membership)
-- Golf-cart-friendly neighborhood streets
-- Clubhouse, restaurant, pool & heated spa
-- Fitness center, library, craft & art studio
-- Tennis & pickleball courts
-- Biking & walking paths
-- HOA covers cable TV, grounds, street maintenance & trash
-- Active social calendar with clubs and community events
This is the lifestyle. This is the lot. This is the one.
