Ed,
To buy in Scottsdale with what I envision that you're looking for would not be too different as far as the prices in DC. Houses in North Scottsdale routinely sell for 2 1/2 million plus for anything with land.
Northwest Peoria where I live is much more affordable, and you can get a custom house built for a million or less depending on the size.
PM me with what you're looking to find, and I can send photos of what's around me.
