Ancala
Remodels, additions and custom rebuilds in Ancala.
Ancala is a community with gated neighborhoods in Scottsdale, built around the private Ancala Country Club at the foot of the McDowell Mountains. Most homes were built in the 1990s and early 2000s, so homeowners usually come to us to remodel, expand or rebuild a home on a lot they already love.
Its streets are established and quiet, with the club at the center.

Typical lots and setting
Many homesites run along the golf course or look toward the McDowells, the city lights or both.
Ancala includes several neighborhoods with a mix of lot sizes, from golf-course homes to larger custom homesites.
Mature desert landscaping and established neighbors mean a remodel or rebuild here is usually about making a good lot work better, not starting from bare ground.
Site planning
On sloping lots, grading and drainage affect where an addition, pool or new outdoor living area can go, so we look at the lot's levels and washes early.
Golf-course lots can carry their own limits on walls, fences and landscaping.
We confirm the City of Scottsdale requirements and anything recorded on the plat for your lot before design begins.
HOA and design review
Ancala has an association with design guidelines, and exterior changes such as additions, window and roof changes, colors and landscaping typically need approval.
We prepare drawings with those guidelines in mind and work through the review on your behalf, alongside City permits.
Homes that fit Ancala
Many original homes are 1990s Mediterranean and Santa Fe designs, often reworked into transitional and desert-contemporary homes. Updates usually bring opened floor plans, larger windows toward the views and a better connection to the outdoors.
Common projects include kitchen and great room remodels, primary suite additions, casitas, new pools and covered patios, and whole-home updates of systems and finishes.
When the existing home holds back what the lot could offer, we compare a full remodel with building new and give you a straight answer.
