An Eco-Friendly Arizona Home Set on 22 Desert Acres Hits the Market for $15 Million
A striking desert home on Arizona’s sun-kissed Black Mountain is up for grabs. The single-story residence presides over 22 acres in Carefree, about 35 miles north of downtown Phoenix.
Records show the owners bought the property on East Stagecoach Pass in 2000 for $1.7 million. An existing house was torn down and in 2004 was replaced by the innovative alternative now on the market for $15 million. Four bedrooms are found across its 5,718 square feet, in addition to a variety of stone and wood materials that complement a central skylight, several fireplaces, and an infinity pool. Its use of solar panels takes advantage of Arizona’s 300+ days of sunshine every year.

Stucco, stone, and metal roofing pop against a backdrop of towering mountains. A compilation of boulders comes into view from the entrance courtyard next to a three-car garage. Through the front door, a linear skylight leads to the great room, where soaring ceilings highlight its open-air design, which includes ample seating space and access to the backyard patio.
A double-sided fireplace separates a sitting area from the gourmet kitchen. The multicolored stone walls that encompass the wood-burning feature are carried over from the great room to the kitchen as well as other parts of the house, providing a calm cohesiveness. Wooden cabinetry highlights the kitchen, which is configured around an asymmetrical island with a raised breakfast bar. A huge window over the sink frames a picturesque view, while glass sliders in the breakfast area lead to the swimming pool.
Elsewhere in the pad, the primary suite stands flooded with natural light. Its picturesque windows and wide sliding doors that open out to the patio remind you of the home’s indoor-outdoor flow, which prioritizes natural views. Another dual-sided fireplace is featured in its en-suite bathroom beside a soaking tub for two. A massive walk-in closet rounds out the airy living arrangement with rows and rows of both hanging and shelf space for your grail finds.
