Description

A truly unique, livable work of art nestled within the sublime Sonoran Desert of charming Carefree, Arizona. Originally designed in 1979 by renowned architect Michael P. Johnson (also a Professor at Taliesin for 28 years), this architectural masterpiece has been reimagined and fully renovated under his guidance, now featuring a stunning pool and an elegant guest house, both designed by Michael P Johnson and completed in 2019. The home's iconic circular design remains a hallmark of its charm, featuring curved and angled walls, expansive butted glass picture windows, and a masterful blend of organic materials, in complete harmony with the surrounding desert landscape, making this home a showcase of Organic Architecture with incredible views of Black Mountain, Elephant

Supplements: Mountain and the Continental Mountains range. Updates include new tile flooring throughout, new sliding glass doors, new skylight, new high-end appliances and fixtures, new bathrooms and completely modernized HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems. New outdoor plank decking (Brazilian Teak) and resurfaced walls lend a fresh, cutting-edge aesthetic while preserving the home's structural integrity for decades to come. Strategically sited to respect the natural beauty of the desert, this single-level home appears to float on elevated, stone pillars that extend the foundation gracefully into the surrounding landscape. The nautilus-shaped floor plan fosters a dynamic flow, creating spaces that feel both open and private, ideal for intimate living or grand entertaining. Entering through the original double doors, you are greeted by a foyer that connects to the garages and laundry facilities. Ascend a short flight of stairs to reach the awe-inspiring main living area, a single-level expanse of open, meandering space that captivates with its architectural beauty. Multiple ceiling heights, sweeping curves, and intricate angles create a visual symphony of light and form. The inviting great room features a unique poured concrete wood burning fireplace with local stone surround. The chef's kitchen is complete with café-style bar seating, high-end stainless steel Sub Zero, Wolf, and Asko appliances, butcher block counters and original custom wood cabinetry. Rows of butted glass panes framed by stone and concrete pillars fill the space with natural light and offer breathtaking views of the desert landscape. An open dining area extends onto a cantilevered outdoor patio, perfect for morning coffee or evening conversation. Curved gallery walls guide you to split ensuite bedrooms and a cozy den, each offering original custom-built walnut cabinetry and remarkable views of the 1.9+ acres surrounding the main house. The circular, wood-paneled office with a lofted studio space inspires productivity in a serene environment. Outdoors, a wraparound Brazilian teak patio, with a Wolf natural gas grill, large natural gas firepit and 100-inch retractable projector screen, invites alfresco dining and relaxed living year-round enjoying Arizona's climate. A short path leads to a private outdoor shower. The new curved pool, complete with elegant waterspout features, offers a refreshing oasis framed by view fencing to showcase the magic of the surrounding Sonoran Desert and incredible views of Black Mountain, Elephant Mountain and the Continental Mountains. The separate guest house, designed by Michael P. Johnson and completed in 2019, provides a harmonious extension of the property and offers privacy for guests and hosts alike. Its split floor plan includes two ensuite bedrooms on opposite sides of a central great room and full kitchen featuring a waterfall island. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors along the back wall blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, ensuring guests are immersed in the desert's natural beauty, with the same views of iconic natural landmarks as the main house. The contrast between the 1979 main house and its Organic Architecture and the 2019 guest house and its clearly Modernist approach span the lasting career of Michael P. Johnson. The main house and guest house together have 100 owned solar panels, installed in 2022, insuring a minimal energy footprint and covering virtually all yearly electricity costs. Located just minutes from the delightful town of Carefree, this property offers easy access to charming restaurants, the vibrant Art Walk Thursdays, and the iconic cowboy bars and eclectic shops of nearby Cave Creek. Civana Spa and Resort is a short 5 minute walk from the property. The magnificent Spur Cross Conservation Ranch, Jewel of the Creek and the Sears-Kay Ruins are a short drive away for hiking enthusiasts. This is more than a home; it's an opportunity to embrace the true Arizona lifestyle in a residence that is as inspiring as it is inviting. Come and experience the perfect blend of art, architecture, and desert living.
