The house sits below the ridgeline on purpose. From the street it reads as a single wall of hand-troweled lime plaster, broken only by a steel door the color of old bronze. Inside, the plan opens in one long gesture toward the west.

The great room runs sixty-two feet under a board-formed concrete ceiling. Pocketing glass on the north side disappears into the walls, so the terrace and the pool read as one floor. In the late afternoon the light comes in low and gold across the travertine.

Four bedrooms sit in two wings, each with its own courtyard. The primary suite has a private garden of palo verde and agave, and a bath finished in Arizona flagstone.

The guest casita, with its own entrance, works as a studio or an office. Owned solar, a whole-house water system and a three-bay garage with storage complete the residence.

Trey McCarthy grew up in Lewiston, Idaho, where the Snake and Clearwater rivers meet. Most of his teenage years were spent on the ice. Competitive hockey took him to new cities and new billet families season after season, and taught him early how to arrive somewhere unfamiliar, read the room and earn his place in it.

At eighteen he moved to Arizona. He tried college briefly, then chose to put everything into real estate. The decision was deliberate. He had already learned that starting before you feel completely ready is usually the only way to start.

Trey works as a solo agent. His clients deal with him directly, from the first consultation to the day they get the keys, and he prefers it that way. He believes the details that move a price, and the details that move a negotiation, are too important to hand off.

His other eye is for design. A long-standing interest in staging, interiors and architecture shapes how he presents a house: what to edit, what to light, which room to photograph at which hour. Sellers notice the difference in the photographs. Buyers notice it in the offers.

His work now spans luxury homes in Blackstone and Sterling Grove, golf-course properties, renovated houses and the active-adult communities of Sun City West and Sun City Grand. Each asks for something different. Each gets the same preparation. In his first year in the business, that preparation added up to nearly $5 million in closed sales.
