Sarah Palin Reportedly Aquires $1.6M Home in Scottsdale, Arizona (photos)

The Palins have reportedly purchased a lovely desert home in North Scottsdale, firing rumors of a presidential run, a go at Kyl's Senate seat, among other things.  To me, I'm not sure that means she's running... it's a long flight from the Lower 48 to AK, and she's got endless business down here.


A local site ArizonaCentral reported that a just-closed deal on a secluded luxury home in far north Scottsdale might be the Palins making a secretive buy, and it seems this is the one.


It's an 8,000-square-foot, dark-brown stucco home with a guard gate with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a six-car garage, a swimming pool and spa, and a full basement with a home theater, billiards room and wine cellar.

Safari Investments LLC paid $1.695 million cash for the home in a deal that appears designed to cloak the identity of a high-profile buyer.

Safari Investments is a Delaware limited liability firm formed May 12, the day before the deal for the Scottsdale home closed. No officers are listed on the Delaware filing, and that state doesn't require the names of individual associated with limited liability companies to be disclosed. High-profile people often buy homes through LLCs to maintain their privacy.

Alan Kierman, an attorney with the Phoenix law firm of Mack Drucker & Watson, is listed on property records as the contact for Safari Investments. Asked point blank by The Arizona Republic if Palin and her husband Todd Palin bought the north Scottsdale house through the company, Kierman said he had no comment.

If state-run media really believed that Sarah Palin was unelectable, they'd be begging us to nominate her.

ineluctable

The dogs will appreciate the change in scenery, I’m sure. hopefully, this place is up a few thousand feet.. so Sarah can say ‘You can see the border from my gazebo.’ ;-)

By 2016, Sen Palin could have set all that on it’s ear... the WH waiting.

She couldn't run in 2016. One word "quitter!"

For those familiar with Scottsdale, the house in question is between Scottsdale Road and Pima Road just north of Dynamite Blvd.

Zooming in a little closer it is very near the corner of E. Via Dona Rd. and North 82nd St which is the intersection at the bottom and just left of center in the snapshot below. Image is from Google Maps and shows a little wider area than those previously posted.

Not that bad when you see the whole thing.

It’s interesting to see the comments about this house. Especially since I could just about walk to it from mine, (not in the summer, mind you) which is also here in Scottsdale but not nearly as grand.

What you don’t really see is, although it looks very secluded, it really isn’t. Living here, she is within 10 minutes of the Scottsdale Airpark and 30 minutes of PHX Sky Harbor. Within 10 minutes she can be at some of the best hotels and restaurants in the coutry, and is surrounded by world class hospitals, like Mayo and Phoenix Childrens.

Also, you’ll have to trust me when I tell you..I’ve lived east, west and north..nothing beats this place. The sunsets are pink and purple. The desert grows on you.

For those of you who think it’s just a wasteland, you may want to consider exactly why we host the Barrett Jackson auction, some of the most prestigious golf ternaments, and have people of Palin’s caliber all around us. Don’t let the sparce vegatation fool you. There’s more palm trees here than sand. Come take a look!

Conservatives are always welcome.

Who said that was a demotion? Lots of governors run for Congress.

We moved here two years ago. The family loves the area, and the people are WONDERFUL compared to the transient populace of South Florida.

There are governors and there are governors.

Actually, there have even been ex-presidents in Congress. John Quincy Adams served in the House after the White House. Andrew Johnson served in the US Senate, after that very body had unfortunately failed by one vote to remove him from the White House.

And then, of course, there was the enormous William Howard Taft, who was appointed Chief Justice in 1921 by Harding, after having been president from 1909-1913.

Not enough feet if it's in Scottsdale.

It only takes a couple of hours to drive from the Phoenix airport to Flagstaff. But the change in climate is extraordinary!

That’s an ugly house and so is the dead land. I guess I’m use to the green of PA. Love Sarah!

Eye of the beholder. When I first saw it, I love it. Maybe because I took into account that this is a design for the desert. It won’t have roof tiles and it won’t have alot of color and somewhat enclosed because of the dust that will quickly accumulate and cover it up

It reminds me of the Getty Museum.

She’s done exactly what I have always thought to be the *ideal* lifestyle. Summer in Alaska, winter in Arizona. Perfect.

Bet Todd liked it b/c it already came with a fence. ;D
