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.
