Is This Sarah Palin's New Arizona Home?

Vice presidential candidate-turned-reality-star Sarah Palin allegedly purchased a house in Scottsdale, Ariz., over the weekend for just shy of $1.7 million. Could this be the new base of operations for her next big political move? Curbed has the full story.

Rumors that GOP presidential hopeful Sarah Palin would run her 2012 campaign headquarters not from Alaska but from the American Southwest have been circulating for some time; today The Real Estalker comes forward with photos of said would-be headquarters, which Palin has reportedly bought for $1.695M.

The 7,971-square-foot Scottsdale, Ariz., house (which was purchased in the name of "Safari Investments"), is less than an hour's drive to daughter Bristol's new pad and boasts five bedrooms, a wine cellar, elevator, and master suite with fireplace.

As for those bare walls? Will there likely be animal heads mounted on them? You betcha!
