Masterpiece in Desert Mountain: this striking hillside contemporary is a statement house of luxury and impeccable taste. It is warmly decorated with rare woods, superbly engineered, with every surface perfected by one of Scottsdale’s most beloved interior designers. The house is sited high above the road with a private driveway gate.
Builder: Phil Smith Architect: David J Wade Designer: David Michael Miller

Desert Mountain is gated with a second gate at Lone Mountain and security patrols. You can have the confidence to lock and leave. The house is in the center of two lots, over 10 acres, affording its owners exceptional privacy, space and serenity. Tall walls of butt-glazed windows in the entry and great room create glass corners, giving you a thrilling wrap-around view of mountains and valley, natural land and home lights.Nature’s beauty of sky and land is soothingly brought indoors. The floor plan is tailored for comfortable daily living as well as for entertaining indoors and outdoors on the spacious, shaded terrace. The terrace has quartzite stone walls and weathered copper fascia, a double infinity edge pool, spa, fountain and four firepits. The house is dramatically cantilevered above the terrace on steel beams, as if floating above the world. The house communicates the feeling of a peaceful family space, a luxury refuge, and a celebration of life.
The finest imported finishes are integrated throughout the home. Designer David Michael Miller used Venetian plaster, Santos Rosewood cabinetry, figured Eucalyptus interior doors, stone and Khaya mahogany floors, French Limestone, Calcutta marble and German-designed fixtures. The great room has a stupendous coffered ceiling of Khaya mahogany that lifts your eyes upward to gaze with pleasure at its unique contemporary design. The main level is entered in a glassed-in atrium with original sculpture and handcrafted door. The spacious great room with an oval firepit is perfect for intimate and large gatherings. The chef’s kitchen, built as one smooth curve of book-matched santos rosewood, with illuminated glass tiles, is spectacular. The dining space enjoys wraparound views and a contemporary chandelier. The great room flows into a wet bar, glass fronted wine cellar, media room and powder room. Down a private hall on the other side of the entry, are two luxury guest ensuites, with outdoor patios and stunning views. The second level primary suite enjoys complete privacy and amenities: intimate fireplace, office/den, exercise room, unparalleled spa bath with steam shower, boosted water pressure like a mountain stream, towel warmers and laundry, breakfast/wet bar, three patios.
The high design of outdoor spaces begins with the gated courtyard entry with floor to ceiling glass, river rock and native cacti and a soaring sculpture by Jesus Moroles, whose work is collected by the Smithsonian. On the great room level, the terrace floats above the landscape, featuring a double infinity edge pool and hot tub, and wrap-around patio and floating stone outdoor grill. The views across the desert to the National Forest are unmatched. There are no less than four fire pits on the terrace, and an illuminated onyx fountain, making it a fun and comfortable place to gather in the cool evening or under the stars. At night, looking back at the interior of the house with its illuminated coffered ceiling is magical. The guest suites’ ceiling-heated patios present vistas in all directions. The primary suite’s three patios provide privacy with a firepit on one side and on the other, a private patio with vistas, ceiling heaters and a third patio with an outdoor shower. This home was double engineered to ensure the highest possible quality of construction materials and structural strength. It has a steel frame wall system, mahogany-paneled commercial elevator, two subterranean water tanks, natural gas generator and 2nd level concrete sub-flooring. It has been impeccably maintained to remain in like-new condition.
“Complementing this construction are a set of design elements that make the house light and airy. The terrace and the infinity-edge pool are raised high above the views. The house is raised above the terrace. The floor-to-ceiling windows with glass corners make the substantial house seem almost weightless. Adding to this effect, the Venetian plastered walls end with baseboard flush details. Notice that all cabinets in the kitchen, and all the bathroom vanities cabinets float above the floor.” “You live in a remarkable combination of robust construction with light and buoyant design. The house floats above the world yet is solidly anchored. The mood of the house is protected and secure, carefree, expansive, luxurious and cosseting. The lavish use of wood creates a warm welcoming retreat. The creative architecture is exciting, but the impact is tranquil.” A note from the woodworker: "As one of two owners of Woodesign I had the pleasure of working with David Wade for approximately 2 years building out the millwork and cabinetry for his project on Lone Mountain in Desert Mountain. David proved to be an energetic, positive, approachable architect who challenged us to do the very best work in our 35-year history."
The ground level completes this showpiece with an oversized four-car garage, a one-car garage, a mini-kitchen and private entrance, storage space and mechanical rooms. The dramatic great room, superb baths, firepits and water features, and spectacular views of our beautiful world through giant windows, make the home a private destination resort. The location within the Lone Mountain village, mid-mountain, provides quick, direct access to North Pima Road through the guarded Carefree Ranch gate, only minutes from your door. It is only minutes to The Sonoran Fitness Club, easy access to both Desert Mountain entry gates, and is a short drive to multiple clubhouses for dining and golf, and the Desert Mountain network of private hiking trails. A note from the owners about the construction and design of their home: “As you live in this house, you come to appreciate something special: the interplay between the very sturdy construction and the artful design gives a sense of floating above the surroundings.” “The industrial-grade construction begins with poured-in-place concrete foundations and structural steel beams, which can be seen under the cantilevered overhangs. The commercial glass windows and doors and elevator add to the experience of solidity. The massive front door is in perfect balance and alignment. The solid core figured eucalyptus doors, and the sliding doors in the bedroom and bathroom are in harmony with this sense of strength.”
“A good example was the kitchen which had a cantilevered upper section of cabinetry as well as being entirely curved which also included all of the large appliance panels. David's ability to understand the multilayered complexity of the project and willingness to work with together produced a project we are very proud of. Matching tropical veneers in a horizontal format throughout the home was another challenge. I highly recommend David Wade if you are needing a talented, experienced, and knowledgeable architect.” A note on the quartzite paving from David Wade, Architect (Quartzite is the hardest stone used in paving, harder than granite): “We had outstanding stone masons on this project. The stone is quartzite and it is really gorgeous but difficult to work with. There is a great deal of cutting involved to achieve this look. I love this stone and consider the expense well worth the effort, but it is not for every project particularly if there is a tight budget. The masons did an extremely good job on both the stone paving and the stone veneer on the walls. This material requires someone who really knows what they are doing, and our masons really delivered.”
