A Dream Team Comes Together Like a Symphony to Create a Custom Estate That is a Work of Art, introducing Ellington Heights in Silverleaf''There is no art when one does something without intention.'' -- Duke Ellington.Without a doubt the King of Jazz would consider Ellington Heights--a sleek and stylish gem--a superb work of art. Nestled in the sun-kissed upper canyon of Silverleaf, an exclusive enclave in Scottsdale, Arizona, the design for this magnificent estate collected inspiration from the social, artistic and cultural dynamism of the Roaring Twenties era. Further, the design journey for this modern desert prairie-style home, included finding perfect harmony with its Sonoran surroundings.(see 'more' now) An absolute dream team has come together like an orchestra, each playing their individual parts to create beautiful music together in construction and home design. Start with award-winning architect CP Drewett, principal of Drewett Works, a leading firm that has in just the last three years amassed more than 20 distinguished national awards for architectural excellence and innovation in custom home design. Drewett is passionate about his work and emboldened by a challenge, which is what inspires him daily. The Drewett brand is synonymous with delivering design beyond the expected, and Drewett has been continuously recognized for his bold imagination. Claire Ownby, founder of leading design firm, Ownby Design, was charged with fulfilling the interior design vision for this magnificent estate, bringing beauty, energy and life into these dramatic spaces. Ownby leads one of the largest interior design teams, and she is widely recognized and respected for creating spaces that come together flawlessly. She wins awards every year nationally for her extraordinary work. The finest design of any custom estate only comes together under the guidance of a master builder, well versed in the complexity and craftsmanship of this caliber of a home. Gary Fries, founder of GF Fries Construction. Unlike most custom home builders, Fries is personally involved in every aspect of building a custom estate of extraordinary quality. He is well regarded as an expert in Silverleaf and DC Ranch, and has been chosen to build or renovate more than 50 homes in this community, based on his reputation for the highest integrity and craftsmanshiphis greatest passion. Together this team represents the best of the best, and a home of this caliber deserves nothing less. As construction begins, we await a masterpiece in the desert that will be available to own for a discerning homeowner with whom this level of team and quality resonates. To that end, every inch of the 17,000-plus square-foot home, plus 9,000 square feet of covered outdoor living space, was contemplated with discerning intention, understanding the exacting standards of the high-net worth individuals who will find Ellington Heights compelling. It's a modern estate yet perfectly at home in the Arizona desert. And, much like the desert itself, the design exudes understated simplicity, yet is significant in its detail. Envisioned with only the finest materials and finishes available, the homeowner can expect perfection at every turn. Open and airy to accommodate the natural light, the design celebrates the sweeping views of the valley below, including a unique, geographical saddle, offering stunning sunsets and city lights as the day progresses. With a nod to the era that included the high style of the Great Gatsby era, architect C.P. Drewett, imagined the three-story residence with entertaining in mind. Importantly, he considers the expansive, main floor great room, bar and dining area to be the soul of the house. The homeowner and guests will gather around several bars and in game areas. They will linger in indoor/outdoor spaces, around inspiring fire features, expansive landscaped patios and will enjoy the benefits of a 90-foot-long lap pool and integrated spa. Enthusiasts will also appreciate the outdoor golf simulator and practice-perfect putting green. The estate's materials palette includes a beautiful mix of ledgestone, limestone, hemlock and clay tile, providing a subtle yet distinctive contrast. The interior choices were directly inspired by the exterior. Expect a layered, yet monochromatic look incorporating a moody, sophisticated mix of bronzes, beiges and "minky" hues. Nine fireplaces are wrapped in natural stone. The chevron-patterned wood floors throughout Ellington Heights provide a further nod to the jazz-infused era of inspiration. Clean, elegant, and timeless define the home's primary kitchen. Exuding modern luxury, it's a vibrant space in which to indulge the senses, share experiences with friends and family and create lasting memories. Only the finest integrated appliances have been selected for the estate home including the exquisite craftsmanship of Eggersmann Kitchens in the primary kitchen, lounge and bar. Expect Wolf and SubZero amenities in the back-service kitchen, car bar, casita and exercise room. The future homeowner will find the spacious, primary suite a place of respite and luxury within the comfort of home. Fine details, tailor-made for Ellington Heights will refresh and inspire while the bespoke wardrobe area promises to elevate dressing to a special occasion. The home has many destination points, including the wellness center, where you'll find an indoor spa area complete with an infrared sauna, steam shower and cold plunge pool. The exercise room, located within a glass catwalk connecting the main home to a guest casita, provides outstanding views for the fitness-minded. The guests of Ellington Heights will appreciate the comfort, convenience and privacy provided by an expansive 1,324 square foot casita with its own garage. Among the seven-bedroom, ten-bath home's many distinctive features, is a below-level, auto-display garage with a car lift and turntable that can handle 20 vehicles. Providing an unexpected and pleasant surprise, the subterranean showroom offers an extraordinary view of the upper-level pool through glass. Infused with history, yet thoroughly modern, this ICONIC estate home is a desert gem to be treasured. The Ellington Heights estate is located within Silverleaf, an exclusive 2,000-acre community in the heart of North Scottsdale. With easy access to all the Valley of the Sun has to offer, yet tucked into the canyons of the McDowell Mountains and surrounded by the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the location offers privacy paired with a compelling lifestyle. The private club features a Tom Weiskopf designed, 18-hole championship golf course that winds along 7,322 yards of inspiring terrain. The 50,000 square-foot Rural Mediterranean-style Silverleaf Clubhouse is highlighted by world class spa facilities, resort and lap pools, fully appointed men's and women's locker rooms, as well as fine and casual dining.

The Barn at Silverleaf - Discover the ultimate in luxury lifestyle. This awe-inspiring modern interpretation of this Prairie style estate is the result of a two year design effort by renowned architect CP Drewett and a hand selected team of consultants. World class interior design is currently being developed by Claire Ownby, founder of Ownby Design. While the vision is a sophisticated custom estate of just over 14,000 square feet, the functionality is comfortable and inviting. The unique design truly elevates the tenets of desert modernism and resort style living. Perched at the summit of a long private driveway, every area of this three-acre estate has spectacular views and are destinations within themselves. The Barn is horizontal in nature with extremely deep overhangs and a hip roof that slopes downward from all sides-marquis elements of Prairie-style architecture. Dry-stacked ledgestone and textured travertine penetrate the architecture, so there's a direct connection from the outside in. Broad walls of glass and pocketing doors open this three-story home to sweeping views of the city below and the mountainous landscape above. Expansive patios plus a full lap-length pool on one level and a second pool directly above it take indoor/outdoor living to a new level.

In addition, the home has two large bars-an indoor/outdoor bar on the main level and another in the game room, which opens up to the showroom garage. The lower level is 4,600 square feet featuring a 12-car show garage, a spa-inspired gym with an indoor hot tub, cold tub, sauna, steam, and full bathroom. Other lower-level features include a 12-seat home theater, golf simulator, putting complex, and game room that consists of a lounge with a bar and media space. The upper level has sweeping 360-degree views including a canyon of saguaros and untouched desert beauty. This upper level includes private guest rooms, eight guest bunk room, and a large office suite all with access to outdoor living spaces.

The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is a stunning classically modern 6,479 s.f. single level, no-step home, designed by Master of the Southwest Architectural Designer Bob Bacon. This south-facing, four-bedroom, open plan home will be built in Desert Mountain, a secure, gated, private club and recreation-oriented master planned community in Scottsdale, Arizona. The capstone of a storied career, Bacon has created a true masterpiece of livable architectural art destined to be one of the finest homes anywhere, replete with the most advanced technology. The home is offered in this listing at $12,900,000 without the illustrated lower-level space. A Bacon curated collection of furnishings is availableseparately, as is a Full Golf Membership in the Desert Mountain Club (see details, below). IMPORTANT NOTES: The Bacon House will be offered in Desert Mountain only through the 2023 winter and spring seasons after which it will be removed from the market and the home will be offered in a different location. The list price of the house is an estimate of the cost of the fully featured home based on current building costs. Actual cost will depend on systems chosen by the buyer, such as solar and water recovery, options selected and market conditions. The Bacon House is essentially ready-to-build with a highly qualified general contractor and the best sub-contractors and craftsmen already selected to be overseen by Bacon. Construction is expected to take 24-30 months. The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is also available with 3,381 square feet of lower-level living space or with both lower level living space and 5,550 square foot of gallery space, at a higher cost. Inquire for more information. Desert Mountain is an 8,200-acre, mature luxury community in the spectacular High Sonoran Desert with elevations ranging up to nearly 5,000 feet. On the south-facing slopes of the Continental Mountain range in north Scottsdale, Desert Mountain overlooks Phoenix, Scottsdale and the entire Valley of the Sun. Membership is optional in the community's private club, known as The Desert Mountain Club. Among many other amenities (outlined below), Club members enjoy the private use of seven golf courses, seven clubhouses, and nine dining venues. Application must be made to and approved by the Club with a thirty-day response time. Currently, the only way to acquire a membership is from a property seller. Otherwise, a prospective Club Member, after purchasing property, will be subject to likely years-long waiting period before being able to enjoy the benefits of membership. The Bacon House at Desert Mountain offers long-range, panoramic views of hundreds of square miles of fabulous Arizona scenery, including famed "Pinnacle Peak" and the McDowell Mountains to the southeast. In addition to a western sky-full of Arizona sunsets and several layered mountain ranges to the southwest, a carpet of city lights sparkles across the valley floor at night. Homes have been completed on all adjacent lots so there is no risk of the views from this home changing in the future. The home will be built on lot #107 in a Desert Mountain "village" known as "The Saguaro Forest" for its abundance of naturally occurring giant Saguaro cacti...38 of which are on this lot. The Saguaro Forest is physically the largest village with over 300 homesites and boasts the greatest concentration of Desert Mountain's most expensive homes. Individual owners in Desert Mountain have invested as much as $38,000,000 in homes designed and built for their own use. The buyer of The Bacon House at Desert Mountain can take comfort knowing that they will be living in one of America's most exceptional neighborhoods. The main floor of The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is located 3,201.5' above sea level, about 2,000' above the valley floor, with nighttime temperatures typically 15 to 20 degrees cooler than those recorded at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, affording a comfortable year' round climate. The home's solar orientation and solar-specific design further ensures comfortable outdoor living even in the height of summer when the sun is much higher in the sky and goes down much further to the north. The home's southern exposure is by far the most favored orientation in Desert Mountain, not only because it is the direction of the long-range views, but also because homes with southern exposures are sunnier, brighter and warmer in the winter than homes facing north. Bob calls the design an "Homage to Early Modernism" and describes it as a seminal accomplishment, achieving a balance of open, casual, and spacious modernity, with a welcoming, warm, and intimate ambiance... all superbly arranged to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and all manner of entertaining for a family or for a couple simply wishing to enjoy a quiet retreat immersed in art. The quality of design, coupled with the best of materials and construction quality, extremely advanced home technology, a lush desert setting, panoramic views, and convenient location will render The Bacon House at Desert Mountain a remarkable long-term value for its owner, an example of true "legacy" real estate sure to be enjoyed by generations of proud family members. Complete floor plans, as well as several PDFs about Bob Bacon and the home's design, including details on the Collector's Galleries (column-free space designed for all collectables, equipped for automobiles, motorcycles, and/or statuary) can be found in the Documents section. Design highlights include: the previously mentioned Collector's Gallery served by an inconspicuous 9' x 18' lift located in one of the two opposing two-car garages, and a carefully crafted progression of tantalizing views, which unfold as one approaches the home, highlighted by arrival through a beautiful Wrightian art-glass entry. Other highlights include a central atrium with nine pivot doors; a large recreation room with wet bar and a 2,000 bottle wine room entered through yet another art glass door; a fabulous second master suite with its own laundry, kitchen, and private patio; stacked washers and dryers in every bedroom suite; a multi-purpose office/craft/hobby room with great views both north and south; a fresh air "cigar porch" a large air- conditioned storage room; glass block flooring on the main level admitting diffuse natural light into the core of the lower level, illuminating the galleries and back-lighting the living spaces; and a quiet commercial quality elevator to get back and forth between the two levels. The opportunity to be a member of the Desert Mountain Club is a significant part of the attraction of living in Desert Mountain for most property owners. The Club is the emotional, physical, and social "core" of the community. In addition to the Club's golf assets, which include six eighteen-hole championship Jack Nicklaus Signature courses; a single eighteen-hole, all-par-3 course (rated for handicap purposes); four practice ranges; and a high-tech golf performance center, there is a hugely popular twenty-mile long private trail system reaching an altitude of 4,890' available to all residents (hike, bike, run, or ride a horse). The trailhead is about a five-minute drive from The Bacon House at Desert Mountain. The center of activity at the Club is the Sonoran Clubhouse, a remarkable swim (three heated pools), tennis (nine courts, including one grass, five Har-Tru, and three cushioned surface hard courts), pickleball (six courts), bocce (two courts), croquet (two courts), fitness (a large, fitness center with a range of classes and private trainers), and spa facility, plus a restaurant. Very popular programs including sports instruction are also offered for children and grandchildren. The Sonoran Clubhouse enjoyed a $12,000,000 renovation completed in 2016, before the bocce, croquet, and pickleball courts were added the next year. It is now perhaps the premier facility of its type in the entire Southwest. The Bacon House at Desert Mountain will be about an eight-minute drive to the Sonoran Clubhouse, and a 550-yard walk to the Chiricahua clubhouse, featuring Constantino's, the Club's signature restaurant, serving fine northern Italian cuisine in an elegant setting with eighty-mile views. Desert Mountain is a place of surpassing service, amenities, and scenic beauty which has attracted full and part-time residents from all over the world. Another attraction is strikingly low real estate taxes compared to many parts of the country. For example, 2022 taxes on the closest comparable home (7,579 square feet, sold in November of 2020 for $10,020,000) were just $19,147.90. The weather is famously sunny, and our risk of natural disasters is extremely low. Being higher and somewhat removed from the city means the stars are bright at night and the air is crystal clear. Desert Mountain's Front Gate is normally about a forty-minute drive north from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and about a twenty-one-minute drive to the main private jet terminal at Scottsdale Airport (Signature Flight Support). Day-to-day shopping needs for Desert Mountain owners are conveniently met within about a ten-minute drive. Approximately 70 restaurants and bars are within about sixteen minutes' drive of the Main Gate. Otherwise, the Phoenix/Scottsdale area is famous for world-class shopping and art galleries, major league and collegiate sports (including baseball Spring Training, the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, and the Waste Management Phoenix Golf Open), terrific air service, and a wide variety of cultural attractions and special events. Desert Mountain is within two and a half hours of normally excellent snow skiing in Flagstaff and offers easy access to the entire American West. "Paradise" does not overstate it. Against this backdrop of privacy, service, beauty and recreation, The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is truly the opportunity of a lifetime for some fortunate family. We welcome the opportunity to meet interested and qualified parties to help them appreciate the many engineering, technological, and subtle design details of the home too numerous to mention here...and we would be pleased to personally introduce the community, the Club, and the area! In the meantime, enjoy the many photographs, renderings, videos, and slide shows, as well as the web links to further information on the Desert Mountain Club.
