The record for the priciest home sale in Arizona has been broken, again.
A Canadian buyer has plonked down $17.5 million for a 20,000-square-foot mansion in north Scottsdale’s exclusive Silverleaf neighborhood.
Buyer Nummus Properties, a Saskatchewan corporation, paid cash for the estate, according to public real estate records.

The stone mansion has five indoor and outdoor kitchens, two elevators, a virtual-reality golf simulator, basketball and volleyball courts, a rock-climbing wall, fitness center with steam room, guest house and eight garages.
