Its commanding A-frame-inspired silhouette, monumental geometric glazing and magnificent custom wood double-entry doors embellished with ornate Old-World black iron scrollwork establish a sense of arrival rarely encountered in rural residential architecture. Beyond the entry, the home unfolds into a breathtaking two-story great room, conceived around volume, light and the ever-changing landscape beyond. Soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows draw the Northern Arizona scenery into the interior, while warm wood flooring and exposed architectural elements lend richness and authenticity. A distinctive freestanding stove set within a substantial river-rock surround anchors the main living space, creating a compelling juxtaposition of natural stone, fire and timber. Above, an open architectural gallery overlooks the great room, offering a dramatic vantage point across the residence and through its towering windows to the high-country panorama beyond. A Kitchen Defined by Craftsmanship The kitchen is not merely functional--it is an expression of bespoke craftsmanship. Handsome two-tone custom wood cabinetry is paired with richly patterned granite surfaces and a substantial center island, creating depth and visual distinction. A six-burner propane gas range, dual kitchen sinks, two disposals and brand-new, never-used stainless-steel appliances provide an exceptional culinary environment. Deep-set architectural window niches introduce additional character while capturing intimate views of the surrounding woodland. A pantry provides further storage, while the open relationship between the kitchen and principal living spaces creates an effortless setting for both intimate evenings and gracious entertaining. A Private Upper-Level Sanctuary Ascending the staircase with its contemporary cable railing, the architecture transitions into an elevated gallery overlooking the extraordinary great room below. Beyond lies the private upper-level primary retreat--a secluded sanctuary distinguished by vaulted volume, abundant natural light and a second freestanding black stove, bringing another layer of warmth and character to the suite. The primary bath introduces a spa-like sensibility with a stone-accented shower and jetted soaking tub, creating a serene environment removed from the principal gathering spaces. A private door extends the suite onto its own elevated open-air viewing deck, where the landscape becomes the focal point. From this intimate perch, sweeping high-country vistas, mature trees and expansive Arizona skies provide a constantly changing backdrop from sunrise through starlight. Elsewhere within the residence, an extraordinary copper soaking tub transforms the lower-level bath into an unexpected design moment--more sculptural element than conventional fixture. An additional upper-level half bath and dedicated laundry area with a brand-new washer and dryer complete the home's thoughtfully considered interior appointments. Outdoor Living Elevated The architecture extends naturally beyond the interior through expansive new Trex decking, contemporary cable railings and a substantial timber-framed covered veranda. These beautifully conceived exterior spaces create a seamless transition between residence and landscape--equally suited to alfresco dining, entertaining beneath the high-country sky, quiet mornings among the trees or evenings watching the light move across the distant terrain. The elevated decks provide exceptional vantage points over the property, while the covered veranda introduces a sheltered outdoor living environment that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. 36.82 Acres of Privacy and Possibility Beyond the residence unfolds 36.82 acres of gently varied Northern Arizona terrain, characterized by mature native vegetation, woodland scenery, mountain views and an extraordinary sense of privacy. The acreage accommodates a broad range of lifestyle possibilities--from a private high-country sanctuary or equestrian retreat to a multigenerational escape or legacy holding. For those with horses or other animals, the property includes a covered animal and horse shelter, while a two-section shed provides valuable flexibility for tack, feed, equipment, workshop use or additional storage. Here, the luxury is not excess. It is space. Silence. Privacy. Sky. Sophisticated Infrastructure for High-Country Living The residence has been thoughtfully equipped for the realities of refined rural living without compromising its architectural character. Mechanical and infrastructure features include separate upper- and lower-level heating and cooling systems, allowing individualized climate management throughout the two-story residence. A tankless propane water heater provides efficient hot-water service, while established propane infrastructure supports the home's gas systems. A substantial 18 kW Kohler standby generator adds an important layer of independence and reliability. The property further incorporates a 2,000-gallon water holding tank, conventional septic system and infrastructure designed to support its private high-country setting. Sierra Pacific windows complement the residence's architectural glazing while framing the remarkable natural environment that surrounds it.
