Southwestern

Range Price 899,000-975,000. This is a magnificent, custom, one-of-a-kind, authentic Southwest adobe home, complete with 4-foot-thick walls. It has beautiful, artistic touches throughout the inside, with carvings in the walls and original paintings on the walls. There are no straight lines in this hand-built, custom home. It is an adventure to walk through this home, finding to your amazement niches and curved walls that take you into other rooms with tiled walls, closets with shelving and built in bureaus. Everywhere you look you will find little carvings or paintings. The house is completely open-concept from the moment you step into the grand foyer, looking down the curved wall hallway to the bedroom wing or walking down the expansive stairway to the great room with 18-foot ceilings with peeled-pole Vigas that extend from the foyer, through the great room and into the kitchen. The master bedroom is a retreat in itself, with a kiva fireplace (gas), a beautifully designed closet with built in shelving, a built-in headboard with storage, beautiful, tiled sink area and a circular stairwell that takes you into a deep, tiled shower that can fill to become a roman tub. There are three more bedrooms and two bathrooms on the opposite side of the house. One bathroom has another circular staired, tiled shower and the other bathroom features a large, claw-foot tub and an authentic pull-chain commode. Two of the bedrooms have closets with built in bureaus and lots of shelving for storage. The kitchen has huge, custom, oval metal windows that look out onto a lush bird sanctuary where you will see hummingbirds, quail, cardinals, and goldfinches. There are two built in stainless steel ovens, gas cooktop, a stainless steel French door refrigerator with water/ice dispenser and a stainless steel dishwasher. The uniqueness of the kitchen continues as you wander into the pantry area, with wine storage that has been built into the adobe wall. The kitchen opens to the massive great room by another set of wide, brick stairs. The great room has another wall of custom oval metal windows looking out onto the beautiful backyard. The peeled-pole vigas on the 18-foot ceiling are massive, each a single tree trunk. There is built-in shelving for artwork, complete with accent lighting, niches, and a huge, beautiful, built-in banco. Exit the great room through custom metal doors with huge oval windows into the massive back yard with four separate seating/entertainment areas. Outside is an oasis with massive shade trees, a beautiful swimming pool with rock waterfall and meandering brick walkways that take you from one beautifully landscaped area to the next. Behind the back yard is open desert where wildlife abounds. There is a custom metal spiral staircase that leads up to the roof for maximum sunset views and spectacular 4th of July fireworks viewing. The thick masonry wall that surrounds the house has many beautiful touches, including built-in seating. There is an authentic Navajo bread oven just outside the door from the kitchen area. The brick driveway leading up to the house is massive leading to the beautifully built carport that was designed to reflect the architecture of the home. The expansive, covered front porch has a beautiful rattan porch swing which is the perfect place to watch a sunset or experience the monsoon rains. The location of this gated community is close to restaurants, shopping, schools, hiking and biking trails and golf courses.
