Nestled in the rugged shrublands of the Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale, the low-profile property is tucked into the hillside, making it almost invisible from the road above. The perfect private spot for the star to escape the limelight, the residence sits within the gated community of Carefree Ranch Homesteads.

Purchased by Seagal in 2010 for $3.5 million (£2.7m), the remote estate encompasses just under 12 acres of desert. Its elevated position some 3,000 feet above sea level offers no end of awe-inspiring views from the property, extending across the valley and over the exclusive enclave of Desert Mountain.
