A meditation area, wine cellar, tasting area, and full spa with steam shower, plunge pool and exercise room. All leading to a hidden Zen garden and access to the pool deck. An award-winning team, all "Masters of the Southwest," worked collaboratively to create this masterpiece: UDA Design (Lee Hutchison), Jim Manship Builders, Ashley P Design (Paula DenBoer) and Enchanted Gardens (Donna Winters.) No expense was spared in selecting the finest amenities of stone, cabinetry, Venetian plaster, moldings and finish carpentry, fixtures and hardware, lighting, electronics and landscaping. Enter the private gated courtyard revealing an enchanted Japanese garden, and traverse the arched Japanese bridge that spans a meandering Koi pond and leads to the stunning beveled glass entry. Gas lanterns along the way create a magical setting. The great room offers immediate panoramic views, framed by an artfully coffered ceiling and an expansive wall of windows that span the entire view. A limestone hearth and elegant Gatsby- style bar anchor this dramatic space. There is direct access to the expansive curved veranda styled patio with multiple seating and dining areas, hearth, sunning deck and outdoor kitchen, all beautifully landscaped and overlooking the resort pool, spa, ancient saguaros, a golf fairway and huge Valley vistas. The elegant oval dining room boasts high, coved ceilings, enhanced by Venetian blown glass chandeliers & sconces and floor to ceiling Italian silk window treatments. Dine in a serene setting overlooking the Japanese gardens and Koi ponds. The kitchen is a culinary delight with luxurious stone and cabinet selections, Wolf appliance package, a large sit-up island, breakfast dining room with hearth area, large walk-in pantry and morning patio dining overlooking the Koi pond. An additional powder room is convenient to this area. The South Wing houses the primary bedroom, media room, two offices, powder room and the world-class library. It is announced by a rotunda with intricate flooring, vaulted ceilings and Eastern inspired light fixtures. The dramatic gallery-style vestibule leading to the primary retreat is lighted with a series of elegant lantern-style pendants creating a mystical mood. The plush and cozy media room offers comfortable living room-style seating. The two executive offices, each with views, are outfitted with handsome built-in cabinetry and bookshelves. A dramatic two-story winding staircase joins the upper level of the library with the heart of the library on the lower level boasting a soaring hearth and the most inviting and relaxing reading environment.
