Supplements: Along with the classically finished, quality craftsmanship and simple elegance of this home, the 8257 square foot main house with its 6 garages and the 763 square foot detached guest house capture views of the delicately painted southwest Sonoran Desert and its magnificent surrounding mountain views at every turn. Highlighted are architecturally inspired ceiling treatments that include bricked domed, groined vault and hand-hewn cross beams, travertine stone flooring, Cantera stone fireplaces and pillars, venetian plaster and custom light fixtures, including imported jewel like chandeliers. Perfect for any chef is the kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf 8-burner hooded gas range, commercial sized side by side Subzero freezer and refrigerator, an island with prep space, farm sink, breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. The common spaces include the family room, flowing into the kitchen and casual dining areas, a theater room and the very spacious great room highlighted with the rotunda shaped formal dining area, wine room, a full sized bar and a wall of mechanical pocketing doors that frame views of the mountains, pool and lush garden--blending the indoor and outdoor lifestyle areas seamlessly. A large master suite with its massive Cantera stone fireplace, a comfortable seating area, large dual closets and a luxuriously appointed, resort style bath create an ideal and relaxing area to retreat at the end of the day. Close by is the executive office or library. Three extremely spacious, ensuite guest bedrooms in the main house offer travertine in the bath areas, large walk-in closets and access to patios. The separate guest house can double as a pool house. It is finished in the same manner as the main house and offers its own kitchenette, full bath, walk-in closet and sleeping area. As a personal retreat, or for entertaining, the outdoor areas of this very distinctive home offers an inspired living space. Designed with a south facing yard that is easily enjoyed year-round, the ramada style covered patio boasts hand hewn plank beams, travertine stone flooring, and an open style fireplace with exposure on all 4 sides. The travertine patio expands from this area to surround the heated pool and spa, both with water features, with the yard continuing to a grass lawn appointed with garden-like landscaping.
