This property is the perfect Arizona getaway for me. It’s in a beautiful area and from the house are spectacular. The views from the house are wonderful and the house itself is a destination that is worth going to just to see the amazing construction and layout of the home.
The house was a work of art. It was a unique place with a lot of artistic detail put into building it. The view was phenomenal. We were visiting family in the area, so the location was great for us. The house had all we needed as far as space, cooking stuff etc. we plan on staying there again when we visit the area.

Absolutely marvelous house!
Beautiful, unique house! Gorgeous specialized touches all over the home. The view of Tonto National Forest was amazing! You do have to drive on a rocky, dirt road to get there, but it is worth it!
A great mix of traditional and unique touches. Everywhere I looked there was an unexpected surprise...to include a large horned owl in the back. So quiet - beautiful views. Am planning on staying there again...in fact would consider buying this property for myself if it ever became available. Enjoyed my stay.
This was the most unique property we have ever stayed at. Total privacy, desert trails right outside your door and sunset views we'll never forget. The house was incredible, and it was so fun to discover new things every day. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us Rob and Marcie!
This beautiful artist home is literally the end of the road. If you like looking at mountain desert,
this jewel of a home is for you. There are wonderful hiking trails at the end of the property. Rob answered our questions immediately. We would definitely stay there again.

Awsome Arizona Getaway
Incredible views of Tonto National Forest and hundreds of saguaro cacti. We enjoyed exploring the trails that are literally just outside the gate. Peaceful with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The artistic details that were built into the house and patio make it a truly one-of-kind property. We were there almost 3 weeks and were still discovering subtle features through our final day. Marsi and Rob were quick to respond to questions and are excellent hosts.
We truly enjoyed staying in this beautiful "Artist" home. The unique interior, exterior, and cleanliness of this home made this experience one to remember. Every time we turned around we found something new to explore. We spent just about every night or early morning out on the porch or out on the patio enjoying the peace and quiet over a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Everything inside the home was clean and well organized. We will definitely be back.
This house and property were fantastic! View the sunrise from bed and the sunset from the front porch! Stunning! The stars at night were beautiful! The house had everything we needed! We would love to know more history on the house. The welding, rocks, and artists touch all over the property were wonderful to gaze at! Interesting and breathtaking! The one and only thing that I could comment on and it wasn't a huge deal, just goood to know...the road to get to the house is a bit sketchy...meaning its a dirt/gravel road with big rocks and a hill. We had a bigger car so it worked out but it would have been easier and better with and suv or something bigger. Other than that it was perfect! Out, away from it all! Peaceful!
If you love to be outdoors in the Sonoran desert, this might be the perfect place for you. It's out of the way but everything else is top notch. It's a large property with few houses nearby. There is a big, wonderful outdoor cooking/ eating area, and... oh man that front porch. It's huge and you could live on the porch with its amazing views of the desert for miles to the north and west towards the sunset.
The interior ain't too bad either. It was built by hand by whom I would call an artist. He incorporated iron and glass artifacts from the desert and elsewhere into the adobe and cement in and around the house. It's a treat to walk around and discover all the artifacts. The house has plenty of room for a family with a large main suite and a second bedroom with its bathroom across the hall. The kitchen is a bit small but has all the appliances and utensils one needs.
My wife and I love to hike and there were miles of trails right out the front door. If you like exploring, the Tonto natl forest with many 4-wheel roads is right there as well.
I would love to come back and stay again.
If you are looking for secluded this is it! The house was awesome and beautiful!
Although far out it was close to many landmarks and site seeing areas North if Phoenix! Overall we loved it and would come back!!
