The House of the Sun

Casa Del SolThe House of the SunThis amazing custom estate will intrigue you with its many aesthetic elements and satisfy you with the sense of intelligence that is everywhere apparent in its inspired design and quality construction.Superior Location & LayoutThe buildings are oriented to maximize the many views, including expansive natural desert, the private beauty of the well-tended grounds and of course, the legendary Superstition Mountains. There is an optimal trade-off between sun and shade. You will experience it in outdoor recreation in the exceptional heated pool and spa or lounging on one of several inviting patios. The interior captures light and views at every opportunity while avoiding the blazing heat of the sun. Innovative DesignThe design combines the best of traditional Southwest Territorial architecture with classical Tuscan elements in the expressive use of complex arches and, finally, impressive Western Americana with its lavish use of great natural wooden columns and beams. It will impress you with its grand presentation and then surprise you with the economy and sensibility of each individual space. It is ultimately a home and its spaces are scaled for everyday use and enjoyment.Stylish LivingThe entry is a masterwork colonnade composed of rustic columns and arches, accented with the rich glow of a stained glass chandelier. The great room accommodates both a formal living area and dining area divided visually by a shared fireplace. Both areas have an expanse of windows that invite the lush exterior views to be a casual part of everyday existence.The ObservatoryThe crown jewel is the second floor entertainment and observation room, providing a panoramic view of mountains and desert from the comfort of the interior as well as access to an exterior elevated patio and observation deck. The wet bar serves a versatile space that can be configured for an intriguing array of entertainment options. A real top-of-the-world setting to enjoy luxurious privacy or an intimate collection of family, friends and guests.The Guest HouseThe Guest House is not very aptly named because it is really a very substantial, and very separate, private residence. This is not a casita or detached guest bedroom suite. Fully 980 square feet, it is designed for continual and comfortable use. It boasts a master bedroom with walk-in closet, an adjacent second bedroom or den, a great room with beamed ceilings, ample dining area, an impressive fireplace and a full-featured kitchen. The bathroom is stylish but has the added functionality of full handicapped accessories. The Guest House shares a central patio with the main house and has easy access to the pool and spa. However, it also has it’s own landscaping and views, including private gardens. It is served by a private drive and has covered parking, all out of view. The driveway also offers private access to both building entrances without passing through or disturbing the occupants of the primary residence. This would be a delightful home for anyone, but it is perfect for an elderly person or couple, or someone who would benefit from a combination of independent living and proximity to family or care. Estate LivingAs you wander the grounds, it is immediately apparent that the two buildings and the associated landscaping, patios and pools are intelligently integrated into a harmonious whole – truly worthy of being called an estate. Welcome to Casa del SolThe Art of the Short SaleThis home is being offered as a short sale, which means that the owner’s lender has agreed to consider a lesser amount to satisfy the mortgage in order for the property to sell in what we all recognize as a declining market. This provides a great opportunity for someone to own this fine property at a significant discount – well below the actual cost of reconstructing this extensive custom estate. I am a short sale specialist with considerable experience in these transactions. As a professional negotiator, I can represent your offer to the lender in an effective manner and help you secure your dream home at an impressive discount. Please contact me for instructions on how to structure the offer and I will also advise you on the best strategy for having it accepted. Do be prepared to be patient. Banks are financial institutions, not real estate stores and they require time to do due diligence, especially when entertaining a significant loss. However, I have systems in place and the necessary experience to convince them that an offer is legitimate and ultimately in their best interest. Bring me an offer and we can make this a win/win for everyone involved.
