Raffall
A $1.32 million Arizona estate is being raffled off, giving one lucky winner the chance to own a luxury home in the Sonoran Desert.
The 4,140-square-foot property, located on a mountainside lot in North Phoenix, blends architectural drama with the natural beauty of the desert. Originally built in 1995 by its current owners, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has never before been on the market. A full remodel updated every detail with premium finishes, transforming it into a modern estate while preserving its unique character.
The raffle is being hosted through Raffall, where tickets are available starting at $10. Bundle options are also offered, and the drawing will take place Dec. 30, 2025. If the minimum ticket sales are reached, the home will be awarded. If not, the winner will receive 50% of the ticket revenue in cash.
“I’ve never really seen something like this done here in the U.S., so it felt like a unique opportunity to try,” Arizona-based investor John Smith told Realtor.com®. Smith owns the home and is ready to part ways but not until after he oversaw a full remodel of the desert hideaway.
“I think it’s an exciting and fun opportunity for someone to win an incredible home for only about $10.”
Set on 2.5 acres, the estate offers sweeping desert and mountain views from nearly every angle. The split floor plan features soaring ceilings, expansive living areas, and multiple balconies designed to take in the more than 180-degree vistas.
“One of my favorite aspects of this property is the amazing views,” said Smith. “With several balconies, you can take in more than 180-degree views of the valley—stunning at sunrise, sunset, or under the night sky.”

Arizona property appeals to anyone
Inside, the home balances grandeur and warmth. The great room’s vaulted ceiling rises roughly 30 feet high, creating a dramatic centerpiece. A massive stone fireplace brings a cohesiveness to the decor.
“My kids and I were saying that the great room fireplace reminds us of something Santa would come down,” Smith said. “It is so big I could easily stand up in it with space.”
The kitchen has been fitted with new high-end appliances and marble countertops, designed with both function and style in mind. A steam shower in the primary suite brings spa-like comfort, while additional luxury touches can be found throughout the home’s bathrooms and living spaces.

Practical features add to the estate’s elegance. Covered parking includes an RV garage, and the remodel incorporated durable, high-quality finishes meant to last. Outdoor spaces highlight the natural desert setting, with opportunities to see local wildlife such as roadrunners and owls right from the property.
“This is a one-of-a-kind chance,” Smith said. “Between the location, the views, and the design, it’s really unlike anything else on the market.”
According to the Raffall listing, the property is ideal for a range of buyers. “Wake up every morning to panoramic mountain views in this fully remodeled $1.32 million Arizona (U.S.) mountainside estate. Offering unmatched privacy, luxury finishes, and a location like no other—this dream home could be yours for about the cost of a takeout meal,” the listing reads.
The raffle closes at the end of the year, with one winner who will walk away with the stunning property or a substantial cash prize. For those looking for a dream home, this Arizona estate may be the ultimate opportunity.
This isn’t the first time someone’s property has been raffled away.
An Ohio woman, Kathleen Spangler, won a fully renovated Irish countryside cottage after buying three raffle tickets for just $12.67—an unexpected prize that connects her to her family’s roots in nearby Sligo. The two-bedroom home, raffled by owner Imelda Collins, came fully furnished on 1.75 acres along the Wild Atlantic Way, with Collins covering the legal and tax costs of the transfer.
And a Texas couple is raffling off their 46-acre Hill Country resort for just $10 a ticket. The Yurtopian, which features luxury yurts, event spaces, and a 2,000-square-foot home, is ready for a new owner. Inspired by Spangler’s Irish cottage raffle, Ann-Tyler and Brian Konradi say they want to turn the $7 million property’s sale into a life-changing opportunity. Their raffle ends Sept. 30.
