Description

Listed by Frank Aazami and Mimi Khaleghi of Private Client Group | Compass

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 light, 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. Property and opportunity details provided by seller or others; buyer to verify.

Une tranquillité particulière envahit le désert de Sonora au crépuscule, et sur cette crête du domaine sécurisé de Carefree Ranch Homestead, vous vous trouvez en plein cœur de cette atmosphère. Sur un terrain clos de 6 hectares se dresse un chef-d’œuvre du sud-ouest américain, conçu par l’architecte Chuck Johnson et construit par le maître d’œuvre Phil Smith : murs enduits à la main, plafonds en latilla et viga, sols en quartz des Rocheuses et cheminées en maçonnerie qui semblent à la fois mûrement réfléchies et parfaitement à leur place. La maison a été spécialement conçue pour abriter une collection d’art privée digne d’un musée – dont la majeure partie est incluse dans la vente – avec des sculptures monumentales en extérieur qui marquent le début du parcours dès l’entrée. La lumière de la ville, le parcours de golf et les vues sur les montagnes s’étendent à perte de vue. La piscine chauffée à débordement, le spa et le foyer extérieur ancrent une expérience de plein air à la mesure du paysage. Deux casitas indépendantes pour les invités offrent une intimité totale. À l’intérieur de la suite principale, un bureau privé, une bibliothèque, un coin thé et une salle de bains digne d’un spa vous donneront envie de ne plus jamais partir.

Hay una quietud especial que se apodera del desierto de Sonora al atardecer, y en esta cresta de Carefree Ranch Homestead, una urbanización cerrada con servicio de vigilancia, te encuentras justo en medio de ella. Quince acres cercados albergan una obra maestra del suroeste diseñada por el arquitecto Chuck Johnson y construida por el maestro constructor Phil Smith: paredes enlucidas a mano, techos de latilla y viga, suelos de piedra de cuarzo de las Montañas Rocosas y chimeneas de mampostería que transmiten una sensación de profunda reflexión y total tranquilidad. La vivienda fue construida expresamente para albergar una colección de arte privada de nivel museístico —la mayor parte de la cual se incluye en la venta— con monumentales esculturas al aire libre que marcan el inicio de una secuencia de bienvenida que comienza en la puerta. Las vistas de la ciudad, el campo de golf y las montañas se extienden en todas direcciones. La piscina climatizada de borde infinito, el spa y la hoguera marcan el punto de referencia de una experiencia al aire libre a la medida del paisaje. Dos casitas independientes para invitados ofrecen total privacidad. Dentro de la suite principal, un despacho privado, una biblioteca, una cocina para el té y un baño tipo spa hacen que uno no quiera marcharse nunca.

In der Abenddämmerung legt sich eine ganz besondere Stille über die Sonora-Wüste, und auf diesem Bergrücken in der bewachten Wohnanlage „Carefree Ranch Homestead“ befinden Sie sich direkt in ihrem Einflussbereich. Auf einem 15 Hektar großen, umzäunten Grundstück befindet sich ein Meisterwerk des Südwestens, entworfen vom Architekten Chuck Johnson und erbaut vom Baumeister Phil Smith: handverputzte Wände, Latilla- und Viga-Decken, Fußböden aus Quarzstein aus den Rocky Mountains und gemauerte Kamine, die sowohl durchdacht als auch vollkommen ungezwungen wirken. Das Haus wurde eigens für eine private Kunstsammlung von musealer Qualität erbaut – der Großteil davon wird mitverkauft –, wobei monumentale Skulpturen im Außenbereich den Eingangsbereich prägen, der bereits am Tor beginnt. Der Blick auf die Stadt, den Golfplatz und die Berge erstreckt sich in alle Richtungen. Der beheizte Infinity-Pool, der Wellnessbereich und die Feuerstelle bilden den Mittelpunkt eines auf die Landschaft abgestimmten Outdoor-Erlebnisses. Zwei freistehende Gästehäuser bieten absolute Privatsphäre. In der Hauptsuite sorgen ein privates Büro, eine Bibliothek, eine Teeküche und ein Spa-ähnliches Badezimmer dafür, dass man gar nicht mehr weg möchte.

黄昏时分,索诺兰沙漠笼罩着一种独特的宁静,而在这座设有门卫的凯尔弗里牧场庄园的山脊线上,您正置身于这片宁静之中。这片占地15英亩、设有门禁的土地上,矗立着由建筑师查克·约翰逊(Chuck Johnson)设计、建筑大师菲尔·史密斯(Phil Smith)建造的西南风格杰作:手工抹灰墙面、拉蒂拉(latilla)与维加(viga)结构的天花板、落基山石英石地板,以及既深思熟虑又浑然天成的砌体壁炉。这座宅邸专为收藏博物馆级别的私人艺术品而建——其中大部分随房屋一同出售——从大门开始的迎宾路径上,巨型户外雕塑成为视觉焦点。城市灯火、高尔夫球场与山峦美景在四面八方尽收眼底。无边际恒温泳池、水疗区和火坑,共同构成了与自然景观相得益彰的户外体验。两栋独立的客用小屋确保了绝对的私密性。主卧套房内,私人办公室、图书馆、茶水间以及水疗般的浴室,让人流连忘返,不愿离去。

تخيم سكون خاص على صحراء سونورا عند الغسق، وعلى هذا التلال في مزرعة «كيرفري رانش هومستيد» المحمية ببوابة حراسة، ستكون في قلب هذا السكون تمامًا. تضم هذه المزرعة التي تبلغ مساحتها 15 فدانًا محاطة بسور تحفة معمارية من جنوب غرب الولايات المتحدة صممها المهندس المعماري تشاك جونسون وبناها المعماري البارع فيل سميث: جدران مغطاة بالجص يدويًا، وأسقف من اللاتيللا والفيغا، وأرضيات من حجر الكوارتز من جبال روكي، ومدافئ حجرية تبعث على الشعور بالراحة التامة. تم بناء المنزل خصيصًا لإيواء مجموعة فنية خاصة على مستوى المتاحف — يتم بيع معظمها مع المنزل — مع منحوتات خارجية ضخمة تثبت سلسلة الوصول التي تبدأ من البوابة. تمتد إطلالات المدينة والملعب والجبال في كل اتجاه. ويشكل المسبح المدفأ ذو الحافة السلبية والمنتجع الصحي وموقد النار تجربة خارجية تتناسب مع المناظر الطبيعية. وتوفر كاسيتات الضيوف المنفصلتان خصوصية تامة. وداخل الجناح الرئيسي، يوجد مكتب خاص ومكتبة ومطبخ صغير وحمام يشبه المنتجع الصحي، مما يجعلك لا ترغب في المغادرة أبدًا.

Additional Details


Art Collection

This residence was purpose-built to house one of the American Southwest’s most significant private contemporary art collections: that of noted Belgian collector Stéphane Janssen, whose holdings have been exhibited at the Center for Creative Photography and acquired at major international art fairs including the Venice Biennale and FIAC Paris. The majority of the collection conveys with the property. The home was conceived from the ground up as a living gallery, with generous wall space, built-in art niches, and sightlines calibrated to works of every scale. Interior holdings span painting, photography, ceramics, and bronze, with particular depth in CoBrA movement artists Reinhoud and Roel D’Haese, whose metal sculptures appear throughout the home; Belgian painter R.E. Gillet, represented by 127 oils and 82 works on paper; and photography by Robert Mapplethorpe, Duane Michals, Pierre & Gilles, Spencer Tunick, and AES+F Group, among others. The outdoor program anchors the arrival experience: a 23-foot carved Iroko wood sculpture by Alquin (“Goliath,” 1989) crowns the ridgeline and is visible from the approach road; a monumental owl sculpture by Ilan Averbuch, with a 23-foot wingspan, greets visitors at the motor court; and two Viola Frey ceramic figurative sculptures stand at the entry. For a buyer with serious interest in contemporary art, this property is without parallel in the Scottsdale market: the architecture, the land, and the collection were conceived as a single proposition.
