Beautiful Sonoran Desert compound! On 10 acres of previously native Sonoran Desert in the foothills of the Rincon Mountains lies a superbly developed home and equestrian facility. The house is 3688 square feet in the Spanish Colonial Revival style complete with classic interior detailing. Doorway arches, wall and floor niches, inlay mosaic tile flooring, beamed and corbeled ceilings, and fabulous built-ins are among the many findings that distinguish this home. Modern amenities abound with an eye to extreme energy efficiency including sprayed foam insulation throughout (including the garage), high-end clad windows, insulated overhead doors, ultimate efficiency air conditioner units, rooftop solar energy panels and LED lighting throughout. The adherence to Spanish Colonial style will impress. The entry doors are arched fabricated steel, all installed light fixtures are custom wrought iron and alabaster, the main hallway has plastered crown detailing, floors are Versailles-pattern imported porcelain tiles throughout and skylights bring natural light to the central interior. Modern conveniences abound including ultra-efficient appliances, maximum sized kitchen sink, hot water dispenser, home-wide streaming sound system, and installed video equipment. Work-at-home owners will find the study perfect for two with built in desks and wi-fi access throughout. High speed cable service comes right to the center of the property allowing for up to gigabyte speeds. Huge porches under the roof shade virtually all windows for limited heat gain during even the hottest spells. The interior courtyards are completely walled including a tiled fountain, large rectangular swimming pool with natural gas heating, professional landscaping with drip irrigation and fabulous hand-placed rock work. Other buildings on the compound include two insulated workshops both with heat pump HVAC and a custom stables and arena. Your horses will remain comfortable with the insulated barn with fan and cooler ventilation. The unique details are endless. Come see for yourself!
