This elegant Red Rock Estate is a celebration of luxury, color, shape and form. Ingenuity of design and the best building materials available are played out in an imperial circular designed home that captures Sedona’s world famous views and sunsets. Nature is your next door neighbor in this private, gated palatial estate that offers you serenity in “a world of your own”. It is only minutes away from the center of town located in the heart of the prestigious Soldiers Pass area close to shopping, theaters, galleries, spas, golf, schools and biking & hiking trails.
You are welcomed to this home by the ornate “Dance of Life” bronze that leads the way to a grand stone staircase flanked by six stacked-stone towers that could easily be part of a well protected temple. On the other side of the pleasing front door is an expanse of glass that shows off the exemplary red rock panoramic views and brings the inviting Sedona sky blue hued pool inside. You have arrived at the central core of an architectural masterpiece that masterfully marries the inner & outer – the heavens & earth.
Soak up the luxury of imported White Thassos Marble in union with tan travertine as it meets your feet everywhere. The bronze & black mosaic and stained glass sconces that catch your eye as you enter the foyer set the scene for a home built by a team of fine craftsman. The clever colors of the Venetian Plaster throughout the home provide perfect backgrounds for the exquisite art pieces. The quaint powder room off the foyer tastefully joins warm tones in the onyx countertops & back splash with black tiled walls that are dramatically contrasted to the white marble floors accented with an onyx diamond pattern.
There is an effortless flow from room to room. In the left wing you will find the master suite and two opulent guest suites off the grand curved hallway. The master bedroom is undoubtedly a “room with a view” offering a dressing room with finely crafted built-ins that are found in every room of this well appointed home and a bathroom that features breathtakingly beautiful stained glass windows. No expense was spared in the selection of rich materials that grace every room of this estate – not even in the guest apartment on the lower level, gym and garage. There is a nice sized patio in this wing of the house and there is access to the pool area from the master bedroom.
The right wing hallway takes you to the great room and dining room. They are an extension of expansive windows that bring the outdoors & indoors together in seamless perfection. There is not another house in sight. Like the rest of the house, these rooms are classic, graceful and welcoming. The great room provides two fireplaces to ensure your comfort. You walk through elegant Venetian plastered columns to enter the great room. They frame the floor to ceiling stained glass windows as you leave the great room to continue down the hall to the den/office/media room. There is a cozy reading nook in this room along with a complementary white onyx fireplace and full length built-in desk.
You enter the kitchen through double stained glass doors across from the great room and dining room. The stainless steel appliances are an excellent choice with the cobalt blue enameled cabinets in the Kitchen. Every convenience is at your fingertips in this sophisticated kitchen including a center island with a breakfast bar and gas cook top. You can enjoy your morning coffee in arboreal splendor on the well positioned terrace off the kitchen.
There is an elegant staircase off the foyer which leads to a two bedroom suite apartment with palatial appointments, the laundry room and three car garage. There is also a separate well equipped gym with a kitchenette, steam room and spectacular red rock views that is accessed off the great room or from the walkway from the front of the house. Horses are also welcome at this house with great accommodation in two horse stalls that are located just behind the house.
