Property Description
The homes are masterfully crafted with extraordinary attention to authenticity and detail. Constructed using RASTRA insulated block, valued for its structural strength, sustainability, and superior thermal performance. The buildings achieve the mass, depth, and tactile presence of traditional adobe while delivering modern durability and comfort. The architectural vision reflects the hand of designer and master builder Dan MacBeth, whose work is known for capturing the essence of the Southwest and whose influence is also evident in the celebrated restoration of the nearby Hermosa Inn.
Designed as a true estate compound, the property offers remarkable flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or long-term stewardship. Each of the two primary residences features two bedrooms with expansive primary suites, generous open kitchens, full butler's pantries, and attached two-car garages. The casita provides a private guest retreat, studio, or live-in residence, allowing independent living within a cohesive and historically informed architectural whole.
Outdoor living defines the experience. The roof deck and grounds capture sweeping views of Camelback Mountain, including the iconic Praying Monk and Echo Canyon landmarks, while the two-acre landscape is curated in a natural desert style reminiscent of a private botanical garden; serene, immersive, and timeless. Despite its privacy, the estate is ideally positioned near the Arizona Canal, offering access to one of Paradise Valley's most walkable and bike-friendly neighborhood paths.
A rare functional complement to the historic setting, the estate includes a freestanding 2,800-square-foot oversized four-car garage with dedicated RV bay, ideal for car collectors, hobbyists, or recreational use. Combined with the attached garages, the property accommodates parking for eight or more vehicles. Located within the storied Old Adobe Subdivision and adjacent to the Hermosa Inn (originally the home of renowned cowboy artist Lon Megargee), this is a singular opportunity to steward a Paradise Valley estate rich in architectural, cultural, and lifestyle legacy.
