It may be getting cooler with winter approaching, but the real estate market in Arizona is on fire thanks to Chris Karas, President, and Founder of The Karas Group, Co-Founder and Owner of Launch Real Estate. Recently, Karas sold a home for $19.25 million in Paradise Valley, which makes it the largest residential sale to date in Arizona.

“To date, this is the highest closed real estate transaction, on the MLS, in the history of Arizona. It will always remain an honor and a privilege to successfully represent the luxury community in Arizona.” Karas states. The estate is over 18,000 sq. ft with 5 bedrooms in the main house and a two-bedroom guest house that can be a part of the home or separated.

The home, located at 5710 N. Yucca Rd, is surrounded by the gorgeous Camelback Mountain view as it sits on 5 acres of land. The master suite is truly remarkable. Highlights of the area include a private exercise studio, sitting room, his and her closets, a salon and an oversize private spa with an outdoor shower.

If you love to have guests over to entertain, this home was created with you in mind. The formal areas feature reclaimed beams to create the most luxurious ambiance. And don't forget the chef’s kitchen that overlooks the family room and bar. While the homes purchased and sold by Chris often exceed $1 million dollars, Chris enjoys the challenge of buying and selling a wide variety of homes – there is no project too large or too small for The Karas Group.
