LUXURY PROPERTY AUCTION: May 26th - June 9th. Accepting bids through May 25th, starting bids expected between $4M-$5M. There is a particular stillness that settles over the Sonoran Desert at dusk, and on this ridgeline in guard-gated Carefree Ranch Homestead, you are directly in its path. Fifteen gated acres hold a Southwest masterpiece designed by architect Chuck Johnson and built by master builder Phil Smith: hand-plastered walls, latilla and viga ceilings, Rocky Mountain quartz stone floors, and masonry fireplaces that feel both deeply considered and completely at ease. The home was purpose-built to house a museum-caliber private art collection--the majority conveying with sale--with monumental outdoor sculptures anchoring an arrival sequence that begins at the gate. City lights, golf course and mountain views extend in every direction. The negative-edge heated pool, spa, and fire pit anchor an outdoor experience scaled to the landscape. Two detached guest casitas offer complete privacy. Inside the primary suite, a private office, library, tea kitchen, and spa-like bath make the case for never leaving.
