City sophistication meets Southwest living! Access this one-of-a-kind property via a private winding road, which leads to the majestic custom-built Galbraith home in an enchanted forest-like setting. A rock water feature, stream, and natural landscaping create an impressive entrance. Understated elegance exudes from the minute you step into this gorgeous home, starting with the copper doors in the foyer. The auburn-hued metal is a recurring theme, woven seamlessly throughout the house. No detail has been overlooked.
