Price: $2,100,000

Year Built: 2017

Architect: Wendell Burnette

Footprint: 2,578 square feet (3 bedrooms, 3 baths)

From the Agent: "Nestled on a five-acre slope in Cave Creek, the Hidden Valley Desert House was designed by Wendell Burnette FAIA. This exceptional home features superb materials, detailed construction, and a unique plan. The home is anchored on a solid plinth with stepped, local concrete masonry walls and a monolithic, hand-applied plaster-style coating. Above, a large shade canopy appears to float, offering shelter. The plan offers three bedrooms plus extra exercise and office spaces, easily convertible for any needs. The architect’s statement encapsulates the home’s serenity and harmony: ‘For our clients, this house was about purging/simplifying their life and also about an indoor/outdoor house for their koi, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and one cat and their very specific way of living.’"
