Dreaming of old Arizona when haciendas dotted the lush desert and beckoned to private southwest sanctuaries protected by old wooden gates and rambling stucco walls? Casa del Sol is that sanctuary at the end of a quiet road on two lush desert acres framed by the rugged peaks of the McDowell Mountains and Pinnacle Peak. Defining classic and timeless southwest architecture, this territorial home harkens back to old Arizona, fleeting in our modern urban sprawl. FEATURED IN PHOENIX HOME AND GARDEN MAGAZINE years ago as a treasure to be adored, Casa del Sol is for the buyer who craves a timeless, charming, character-rich Arizona territorial defined by its individuality and quiet, down-to-earth magnificence. With a circle driveway and incredible curb appeal, this home exudes luxury and envelops guests in privacy by welcoming them through ancient wooden doors to a hidden walled courtyard. A huge cedar door with a friendly, curvy snake iron handle hints at the treasures within and pivots open to inspiring saguaro-studded views across the desert, unfolding like live art in floor to ceiling windows, bringing nature inside.

DURABLE NATURAL SUSTAINABLE ELEMENTS in flagstone floors, hand-scraped cedar cabinetry, hand-stacked stone, hundred-plus year-old barnwood walls and hand-forged whimsical ironwork stand the test of time. Items from around the world were creatively employed for functional use inspired by travels to Mexico, Bali, Morocco, India and beyond. Each space is a study in distant lands and cultures. The floor plan illustrates this architect's vision of a meandering southwest ranch sprawled across acreage, offering surprises around each corner as one travels through this nearly 7,000 SF masterpiece artistically designed for casual and fun living.

CASA DEL SOL IS IDEAL FOR HOSTING, BOTH LARGE GATHERINGS AND SMALL. The defined, yet open spaces entertain guests intimately as the architectural design reveals one space at a time with angles and elevations that create separation in the expansive space. A clear departure from today's modern, wide open white box homes where all spaces are revealed at once, often feeling cavernous.

DESIGNED AS A GATHERING HUB, THE CENTER OF THE HOME FEATURES A FUSION OF PUBLIC SPACES: open family room, semi-open kitchen, Moroccan bar, breakfast room, formal dining room and living room turned card room. Enjoy spirited conversation beneath the grape vine stake ceiling, an after-dinner drink at the MOROCCAN BAR or shuffle a deck in the CARD ROOM. The dining room offers a stunning view of Pinnacle Peak that is certain to make your guests linger a little bit longer. Afterward, mosey on down the flagstone hallway to shoot pool in the spacious GAME AND BILLIARDS ROOM, Texas two-step around the corner to the COWBOY BAR for a sip of whiskey, then sit a spell in the adjacent HOME THEATER'S 12 bright yellow velvet chairs, each row elevated to ensure everyone enjoys the big screen. This home coaxes out your sense of humor and playfulness.

GETTING TIRED? From the theater, play a disappearing act through the attached bathroom, sneak out the opposite door and enter the attached casita.

AHHH, THE CASITA! This 1,000 SF abode has a proper private entrance off the gated motor court, if you don't want to sneak inside. This not-so-tiny home could make you want to downsize and stay a lifetime. Perfect for nanny, nana, extended family, or college student, it's fully equipped with living room, bedroom large enough for a king bed, kitchenette, dining room, stacked laundry, full bath, and its focal point is another one of four stunning stacked stone floor-to-ceiling fireplaces. Soaring windows frame endless desert vistas and offer mountain views to entice you to visit the secluded private patio where another fireplace beckons.

TWO GUEST BEDROOMS WITH EN SUITE BATHS are in the bedroom wing, separated from other bedrooms and public rooms. Each bedroom is large enough to hold multiple beds for hosting several of your smaller guests. All bedrooms have en suite bathrooms.

THE HOME OFFICE, ADJACENT TO GATHERING SPACES, OFFERS AN ADDITIONAL GUEST ROOM. If needed, this room could easily be converted to a full bedroom by removing the desk and built-ins, adding an armoire - or a foldaway Murphy bed with storage.

THE OWNER'S SUITE IS IN A PRIVATE WING on the opposite end of the home from guest and activity rooms. A rewarding destination, it welcomes first into a separate sitting room to unwind from the day cocooned in warmth from another stone fireplace, charmed by a friendly snake twisted around its wrought iron frame. If you desire a nursery or a second home office, this sitting room will easily accommodate either. The bedroom shares this whimsical open fireplace, visible from the bed. Floor to ceiling windows showcase desert flora on sunny days and twinkling distant lights at night. A private, secluded patio for the owners alone is the best place to enjoy morning coffee or nightcap before turning in.

BREATHE AND BE TAKEN AWAY TO FOREIGN LANDS IN THE SPACIOUS BALI-INSPIRED BATHROOM with sunken jetted tub for two where candlelight will dance on the flagstone surround. The dressing room features a mini runway with showroom mirrors to ensure you greet the day in style, and plentiful built-in storage for a multitude of shopping excursions around the world. Complete with washer and dryer and cabinets designed for a coffee bar.

THE INCREDIBLE RESORT YARD BECKONS. After traveling the length of the inside of this territorial masterpiece, step out to the incredible resort backyard - from any room. Every space is connected to the outdoors with floor to ceiling windows and commercial glass doors to capture incredible views of lush, mature desert landscape dotted with native trees and cactus specimens, and provide easy access to al fresco spaces.

OUTDOOR SPACES EVOKE A BOUTIQUE RESORT. Patios encircle Casa del Sol offering intimate spaces for quiet moments and grander space for hosting a crowd on multiple levels of timeless flagstone patios. Find your favorite private place to enjoy the sunny climate, read a book, or simply let your mind wander in lush desert landscape views. The backyard and heated lap pool and spa offer complete privacy. No neighbors can see into your oasis. Just as enjoyable in the evening when clear skies offer a bounty of magical twinkling city lights of the distant bustling city far below.
