Lavishly appointed with rich hardwoods, intricate stonework, and crystal chandeliers, the home provides dramatic entertaining spaces that flow out to the 2400 sqft covered patio perched over the desert below.The 8111 sqft four-bedroom, five-bathroom main house and 1442 sqft two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house were tastefully designed by renowned architect Ron Robinette. Meticulously crafted with uncompromising quality, this luxurious masterpiece is ready to welcome you home.
The main house boasts an impressive rotunda foyer, flowing indoor-outdoor entertainment space, and a dream chef's kitchen with adjacent catering kitchen.
The living room is anchored on one end by a stately herringbone-patterned limestone fireplace, and is framed by a crescent wall of windows to take in the breathtaking views - perfect for hosting elegant gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings with family. The expansive room curves around, offering space for a grand piano and additional sitting area, and flows into the elegant formal dining room featuring coffered ceilings and crystal chandeliers that lower smoothly for cleaning.
Filled with top of the line appliances from Gaggenau, Miele, Sub-Zero, and Thermador the kitchen is a canvas to create culinary masterpieces. With an array of stacked cabinets below clerestory windows and two impressive islands below a coffered ceiling, the kitchen is the cozy heart of the home. It overlooks the family room that converts to a theater room at the touch of a button.
The sophisticated owner's suite is a spa-inspired oasis of peace and serenity, with walls of windows to take in the breathtaking vistas, an impressive limestone corner fireplace, private patio access, and a luxurious ensuite featuring a steam shower, drying room, soaking tub, Numi water closet and opulent closet/dressing room.
The artfully imagined patio is designed to maximize the views beyond with a stunning glass patio railing system that gives the feeling of being able to step into the desert. Whether entertaining large parties into the night or in cozy contemplation, you will be treated to jaw-dropping vistas that stretch for miles. The luxurious, resort-style infinity edge pool and spa seemingly merge with the surrounding landscape aside a footbridge and tranquil water feature.
The covered outdoor kitchen has everything imaginable- built-in BBQ, cooktop, warming drawer, refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink with a bar peninsula. Adjacent, under the expansive covered portion, lies a fireplace and television, and beyond a large firepit to enjoy the evening lights.
The enchanting library maintains the same standard of luxury as the rest of the home, with floor-to-ceiling custom walnut cabinetry, dual work stations, library shelving with dual sliding ladders, and room for a sitting area. Dark walnut moulding extends across the coffered ceiling for a truly old-world, castle-like feel.
The main house is completed with two additional ensuite bedrooms, an exercise room/4th bedroom, all with custom walk-in closets, and an oversized garage with multiple storage room and the ultimate workshop/man cave.
