A six-bedroom estate tucked behind the gates of El Maro Estates in Paradise Valley has hit the market for $22.5 million, and its standout feature isn't the pool or the tennis court — it's the private entertainment room built into the home. The 15,280-square-foot home at 6483 East El Maro Circle also includes a basement theater, a courtyard spa off the primary suite, and a children's play yard with a zip line, and it comes as the region's high-end selling season shifts into gear right after Labor Day.
The listing was reported by the Phoenix Business Journal and covered by The Real Deal; it is held by Katrina Barrett of Christie's International Real Estate, who is marketing the property as “the ultimate entertainer's house.” The home sits on two acres within the private, 18-lot El Maro Estates community, a gated subdivision that requires new buyers to pay a $5,000 initial capital improvement fee upon transfer, according to HOAproxy. Built in 1986, the house includes the entertainment and residential features described in the listing.
Inside a House Built for Hosting
The estate's bathrooms and basement theater are just part of the package, according to the seed listing details. Property details listed by ERA Real Estate describe that theater as hidden behind a secret bookcase, alongside two marble kitchen islands, a secondary back kitchen, and a temperature-controlled wine wall — a more granular accounting than the round figures cited in the original listing report.
Outdoors, the amenities lean resort-style: a resurfaced tennis court, a pool with a grotto and a glass-framed viewing deck, and a pool house with a full kitchen and retractable windows. A guest suite comes with its own entrance, kitchen and living room, while the primary suite opens to a private courtyard with a spa and outdoor fireplace. The children's play room leads out to a yard fitted with cooling sprinklers, swings, a zip line and a playhouse.
Party Barn Meets Town Code
The home's entertainment features are described as part of its residential offering.
At its $22.5 million asking price, 6483 East El Maro Circle is positioned in the upper tier of a market that a local study has described as splitting in two. A Smith Real Estate analysis using 2026 data found new trophy builds in Paradise Valley fetching $1,400 to $2,000-plus per square foot, while older financed homes average roughly $795 per square foot, according to Smith Real Estate. The property is listed on Zillow.

Barrett's résumé looms large over the deal. She has represented both of the state's highest-priced home transactions, according to Phoenix Agent Magazine. That track record includes the state's current price record: a 20,919-square-foot spec mansion at 5531 East Mockingbird Lane in Paradise Valley that sold for $40.2 million in an all-cash deal, according to The Real Deal's reporting. That sale eclipsed the previous state record, set in February 2025 on another Paradise Valley estate that Barrett also represented.
