Property Description
This one-of-a-kind contemporary estate is located in the middle of lushly vegetated and landscaped Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona. Designed by Architects Lee and Jessica Hutchison, this custom-built home has bagged 2007 Gold Nugget Award of Merrit plus a gold in 2007 Best in American Living. It has views of the Four Peaks to the east, dramatic mountain views to the north and west, and full city lights and valley views from the upper observation deck. It features a main house with two primary suites and a totally independent two-bedroom guest house complete with a large living room, laundry area, and kitchenette. The design is highlighted by multiple floor-to-ceiling glass windows and walls, allowing a sweeping view of the surrounding mountain and desert. Additional features include architecturally detailed vaulted ceilings with skylights, Lutron lighting, polished concrete floors, European cabinetry, lighting and plumbing fixtures. A three-car garage is available, with an extra room for golf gear or storage, and a large carport accommodating several more vehicles. It also highlights sustainability in design as the entire house is powered by highly efficient solar panels. A unique water feature runs from the entry courtyard, through the foyer, and connects to the pool. One can enjoy stunning views and the perfect harmony with nature as the house is in direct alignment with the rising sun during the seasonal solstice. The property is offered as furnished/turn key with some minor personal exclusions, and comes with golf membership. Some house works conducted in the property worth noting are: revegetation of numerous trees, saguaros, plants, with permanent irrigation which can be turned on or off (roughly $400K expense, 2019), sandblasting and painting of trellis and the house (2019), the addition of driveway landscaping (2020), resurfacing of the pool with new tiles and conversion to salt chlorination (2021), installation of new HVAC system in the master bedroom (2019) and in the main house and garage (2020/2021) and partial resurfacing of the roof area in 2023. | Listed by Kirk Marshall • Keith R Marshall • Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty
