WHY PARADISE VALLEY?
Paradise Valley occupies a unique position within the greater Phoenix-Scottsdale market.
Known for its large homesites, low-density residential character, mountain views, privacy and proximity to many of the region's leading resorts, golf courses, restaurants and cultural destinations, the community has long attracted primary and secondary-home owners seeking space without isolation.
Paradise Valley sits between Phoenix and Scottsdale, placing residents close to the dining, shopping and entertainment of Scottsdale while maintaining the predominantly residential character that distinguishes the town.
For luxury buyers, however, Paradise Valley is not a single market.
Street, homesite, views, topography, surrounding properties, architecture, age, construction quality and redevelopment potential can materially affect value—even among homes located relatively close to one another.
Understanding those differences becomes particularly important when evaluating homes at the upper end of the market.

Show moreThe story of The Berneil House actually began before there was a homesite.
Denise and her husband, Patrick, have been members of YPO for more than 30 years. A mentorship relationship within the YPO community became the catalyst for a series of conversations about finding an opportunity to work together. For several months, those conversations continued while the right opportunity was sought.
Denise originally sourced an off-market homesite in Paradise Valley and brought the investment opportunity to a longtime out-of-state client.
The property, investment and professional relationships came together, and an experienced team began the work of creating The Berneil House.
Approximately 11 months later, the residence was complete. Approximately Six weeks after completion, it was sold.
Some of the best opportunities in real estate begin with relationships, long before there is a transaction.

ORGANIC-LUXE™
Organic-Luxe™ begins with natural materials, thoughtful architecture, wellness-centered design, and a deep respect for the relationship between people and the built environment.
Not simply, “How does it look?” but “How does it live?”
Organic-Luxe™ reflects a philosophy that luxury can be found in thoughtful architecture, authentic materials, natural light, quiet, wellness, connection to the outdoors and spaces that support the people who inhabit them.
The Berneil House demonstrated many of those ideas in practice.
Organic-Luxe isn't a style—it's the new standard.™
