Desert Dream: A $3.8M Mountainside Arizona House Is Built Into Rocks By Kellie Speed
By: Realtor.com
Designed to blend seamlessly into its desert landscape, a striking Paradise Valley, AZ, home is one of renowned architect Will Bruder‘s most eye-catching masterpieces.
Listed for $3.8 million, the three-bedroom looker achieves the goal of immersing into its Mummy Mountain lot, via a combination of materials—copper, glass, steel, concrete, and native stone. According to the listing, the dwelling is anchored to its surroundings, using native rock cantilevers.
“It’s a Will Bruder home, and he is a well-known architect who did the Phoenix Library and various properties across the country,” says listing agent Tracey Zemer, of azarchitecture/Jarson & Jarson. “This house has views all around the valley, so it’s really stunning. It is not so high up but is really nestled into the landscape. The home was built to blend into the landscaping.”
Despite being built in 1987, the home’s 3,724-sqare-foot interior offers a midcentury modern vibe. There are wood walls and ceilings, stone and wood floors, and walls upon walls of glass. And natural rock also makes an appearance.
“In the bathroom, there is a steam shower, and the physical mountain is incorporated into that,” Zemer says.
The contemporary kitchen boasts a soaring ceiling and an enormous window for soaking in the picturesque views. There is also a fire pit area surrounded by stone, a back patio, and spectacular pool that serve up panoramic views of the valley.
