About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a true work of architectural significance in the high Sonoran Desert. This exceptional Carefree estate was originally designed & built in 1980 by renowned architect & longtime Taliesin professor Michael P. Johnson, and thoughtfully restored & expanded by
the architect himself in 2019. Set on approximately two acres of pristine desert landscape, this property with 2 homes embodies the organic design principles pioneered by Frank Lloyd Wright--where structure, light, & land exist in quiet harmony. Every line, material, & sightline has been carefully considered to frame the surrounding desert, capture natural light, and create a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. The main residence offers 2,577 square feet of living space, where timeless geometry. CONTINUED. warm natural materials, and curated spatial flow define the experience. Striking butted glass windows, sculptural forms, and intimate transitions between spaces create a home that is both visually striking and deeply livable, with two master suites plus a half bath, a separate office/library, a den and a bonus room.
Outdoor living is equally considered and compelling. A heated pool, also designed by Johnson in 2019, integrates seamlessly into the landscape and architectural composition. Multiple patios
provide distinct spaces for relaxation and entertainment, including a striking main patio crafted from Cumaru wood, featuring a gas-powered firepit and a 100-inch retractable projection screen--perfect for elevated desert evenings under the stars. In 2019, Johnson returned to the property to oversee a comprehensive restoration and to design a fully integrated 768 square feet guest house--an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a property
where both original vision and modern expansion are authored by the same architect. The newly built guest residence features two en-suite bedrooms, living room, a full kitchen, and its own
washer and dryer, offering complete privacy and flexibility for guests, extended family, or creative use. Sustainability and modern performance are seamlessly integrated. Both the main residence and guest house are equipped with owned solar panel systems that currently offset the property's electrical usage, resulting in no electricity costs. An electric vehicle charging station further enhances convenience and future-forward livability. All major systems were updated during the 2019 restoration, offering peace of mind alongside architectural distinction. The estate's generous acreage provides a sense of seclusion and serenity rarely found, with ample space to take in panoramic desert vistas, Black Mountain views, dramatic skies, and the ever-changing light that animates the architecture throughout the day. More than a home, this is a living piece of architectural legacy--an authentic expression of Taliesin-inspired design, refined over decades and brought forward with clarity and intention. For the discerning buyer who values design, provenance, and place, this is a truly one-of-a-kind offering.
