About This Lot
This spectacular hillside lot with amazing unobstructed views has previously been on and off the market several times. Due to a lack of bank financing options on vacant land, this lot has previously been in escrow and had fallen out. This issue no longer exists. With a mutually acceptable down payment, a seller carryback will allow you the time necessary to get through your planning and permit process. With the relationships I have developed over the past 20 years with the Town of Paradise Valley, I am offering my assistance to you and/or your client to consummate a successful result. A recent site plan has been downloaded in the ''Document Tab''. Please call with any questions that you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions
About building in Paradise Valley
When building a home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, the key zoning term that determines how large your home can be is FAR (Floor Area Ratio).
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the maximum amount of building area allowed on a lot, expressed as a percentage of the lot's size. FAR includes all areas under roof, such as the home's interior living space, garages, covered patios, ramadas, porte-cochères, and any second-story areas.
In most Paradise Valley zoning:
- •FAR = 25% of the net lot area
Here's how the math works on a 1-acre lot (43,560 sq ft):
FAR Calculation
43,560 × 0.25 = 10,890 sq ft maximum buildable area
Our estimator uses the FAR (25%) to calculate maximum buildable area based on lot size, then multiplies that by the build price per square foot to generate a cost estimate. This tool assumes a flat lot and does not account for site-specific constraints.
Important Notes
Final buildable square footage can vary based on setbacks, height limits, and other zoning requirements, so an architect or design professional must determine the exact allowable size for a specific lot. Actual buildable area may be reduced or modified due to:
- •Required setbacks
- •Building envelope limitations
- •Hillside regulations
- •Height restrictions
- •Retention requirements
- •Other Town of Paradise Valley zoning and building codes
This tool is intended for estimate purposes only. Final allowable square footage is subject to Town review and approval.
In certain cases, additional or reduced square footage may be achievable depending on design, grading, and Town approvals.
