This comfortable, one-of-a-kind home is located in one of Sedona's most stunningly beautiful areas. If you're looking for quiet solitude, you'll find it here -- yet all the restaurants and services of Sedona are just a short, three-mile drive away. A five-minute walk takes you to Oak Creek, and a small hike directly behind the house puts you atop of a 225-foot red rock bluff where you'll capture unbelievable views.
This contemporary home has simple elegance with excellent flow, having been designed in consultation with a feng shui master. Completed in 2006, it won the "People's Choice" for best house on the Sedona Art and Architecture Tour that year.
The entire house has great natural light, no matter what time of year you stay. Winter sunlight streams through southern windows, and summer patios are shaded and cool with natural ventilation. This is a green passive solar home built with ultra low voc materials, and also features ample conventional heating/cooling systems.
Downstairs you'll enjoy an open plan living room/dining room with 12-foot high ceilings and a wood burning fireplace. A gorgeous modern kitchen features all stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, as well as a separate bar and wine refrigerator. Throughout this main living area you'll find in-floor radiant heating, engineered maple hardwood floors, hand-made wool rugs, Italian sofas and HD satellite video. There's also a Grace Kelly-themed guest room and full bath, perfect for that visitor who requires additional privacy.
Upstairs you'll have your pick of two large master suites. Each comes with its own large deck, queen size bed, full bathroom and walk-in closet. The western suite has its own private entrance, small kitchenette, and large Roman style soaking tub. The eastern suite includes a very private outdoor bathtub with full view of the red rock bluff, which is part of the unique property.

Cliff House Sedona - Contemporary Elegance
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Sedona
Sedona is an astonishingly beautiful place to live.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This property is located in a special area of Sedona along Red Rock Loop Road. Originally this was one of the first areas to be homesteaded and farmed in the 1800's. Today there is a delightful mix of luxury homes among farms and working ranches. Nearby, the creek rolls through the red rocks providing a rich contrast between the lush green pastures and dramatic red rocks. Excellent hiking trails out the door take you to high ridgetops with views of Cathedral Rock, Thunder Mountain and the vast National forest. Cool off with a dip in the creek and explore its natural beauty.
Public park and creek access. Great views of Cathedral Rock and lots of major hiking trails.
Situated along Oak Creek, this is a significant riparian area, a favorite among bird watchers.
Most of the land surrounding the house is located in the National Forest, Red Rock Ranger district.
Downtown West Sedona is approximately 3.5 miles from the house. The drive to town takes you through some of the most picturesque red rock formations in Sedona.
Oak creek meanders through this area. Closest access is 2 blocks from the house.
Owner's Map of Sedona
Hi, my name is Glendon and I have been a resident of Sedona for nearly 12 years. Having lived in many places in my life, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and internationally, I can truly say that Sedona is a unique and magical place. So when I discovered this amazing five-acre property, complete with its own gigantic red rock, I knew this was the place to build my dream home. It inspired me to both design and build a home and work studio that blends with the natural landscape and incorporated my style of simple elegance.
