Sedona, AZ 86336

Seeking inspired design, luxury, privacy, & a lovely setting with intimate red rock views, but not the upkeep of a massive house? Come experience this exquisite gem set on 2.45 verdant acres at gated Cross Creek Ranch, just 10 minutes from town. Crafted by Eric Brandt, one of Sedona's most innovative architects, to harmonize with nature, this Southwestern Contemporary is stunning in its execution, yet supremely comfortable & embracing. Thanks to a creative floor plan & extensive use of delightful open air space, the home lives much larger than its square footage might suggest. Entering the gated courtyard, be greeted by a playful waterfall & stream & an inviting outdoor ''living room.'' Inside & out you'll find extraordinary craftsmanshp. See SUPPLEMENT.

The Great Room, with its view of Amber Cliffs, is a marvelous blend of wood, stone, & glass.

The Master Suite features a lovely fireplace, cherry cabinets, rain forest shower, & an ingenious faucet in the ceiling for filling the tub. A fine example of the myriad innovative features of the home.

The kitchen is a chef's delight with gorgeous quartsite counters & island, excellent appliances, beautiful views, & a doorway out to the fully equipped "summer kitchen" dining area.

You'll also note the essential spa/hot tub & outdoor shower there overlooking the meadow & Sycamore and Cottonwood trees near the pond on the property.

Back inside, we find a guest bedroom across the hall from a 3/4 bath that also accesses the back patio and spa.

Down the hall, we pass through the office/hobby/multi-purpose room on the way to the breezeway between the house & a dog run & the 3 car garage with epoxy flooring.

Beyond the garage is the wonderful two bedroom guest casita. Each bedroom has a private doorway to yet another lovely patio & guest parking.

All & all, this superb home is marvelously unique & the perfect environment for gracious living.

From the owners, Paula & Mike:

We fell in love with this house the first time we saw it. When we entered the courtyard, heard the gentle gurgling of the water feature and smelled the jasmine by the gate, we were hooked. We love all the outdoor entertainment space in the summer, and all the fire features in the winter. Inside are many special features - from the slate floors and walls to the alligator juniper shelves and mantles. The high ceilings and wooden accents are beautiful and airy. The great room and kitchen face a lovely view of the amber cliffs over a sea of trees. The outside spa is a perfect place to relax while the feasts cook on the BBQ. The casita is private and spacious for our guests (they love it!) One of the things we really love is how quiet and friendly the neighborhood is. The pond on the property, meadowlands, and frequent visits from a herd of deer just add to the serenity of this home.
