About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled on the edge of the Goldfield Mountains, this diamond in the desert is a blend of modern architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright's design principles. Enveloped by natural surroundings, this custom home designed by Hardin & Eribes offers a peaceful and comfortable setting amidst the rugged beauty of the area. The unique rammed earth walls and passive solar design help keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter, enhancing the home's sustainability. First time on the market, the home's spacious open multi-level floor plan invites natural light to pour through expansive windows, providing panoramic views of the surrounding Goldfield and Superstition Mountains. Energy-efficient, natural materials and a thoughtful design closely integrated with the Sonoran environment ensure that this home is not only a place of beauty and inspiration but also a model of sustainable desert living. Whether you're relaxing by the reflecting pool or enjoying the stunning sunrises and sunsets from the private patios, this one-of-a-kind desert retreat offers an unparalleled living experience. Miles of hiking trails and mountain biking are right out your front door. Minutes from Usery Mountain Regional Park and Lost Dutchman State Park. Easy access to Canyon Lake, Saguaro Lake Superstition Wilderness and the famous Apache Trail.
