Architects Lee and Jessica Hutchison's multiple award winning custom built home sits centered on three acres of lushly vegetated and landscaped Sonoran desert with numerous trees and saguaros.

A unique water feature runs from the entry courtyard, through the foyer, and connects to the pool. It celebrates the connection to nature and is in direct alignment with the rising sun at the seasonal solstice.
Truly a unique and special home. Offered as furnished/turn key with some minor personal exclusions.
