Welcome to Skyfire, a breathtaking architectural masterpiece designed by former Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Vernon Swaback as his personal residence. Swaback is an esteemed figure in Arizona's architectural history, and he has seamlessly blended organic architecture and modern luxury to create this one-of-a-kind home, in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings. Perched on a 2.7-acre elevated lot, Skyfire offers unparalleled privacy and sweeping 360-degree views, from the Sonoran Mountains and Pinnacle Peak to distant Camelback Mountain, while being just moments from world-class golf, shopping and dining. Lush desert botanic gardens greet you as you pass under the Skyfire entry arch. At the heart of the great room is a custom-designed sculptural fireplace echoing the angular forms of the desert. Expansive seamless glass windows frame the natural landscape, while the infinity-edge pool reflects stunning sunsets. Skyfire blends natural elements like exposed steel beams, copper accents, cantilevered rooflines, and tinted concrete with vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and canvas-covered terraces, all designed to create the illusion of living within nature while nestled in the safety of a beautifully engineered interior.
The 5040 square feet of living space is divided between a 4440 square foot main house and 600 square foot guest house. Private and luxurious primary suite features custom-built millwork, dual walk-in closets and vanities, a personal fireplace, and direct access to the outdoors. Two additional bedrooms, each with a full bathroom and walk-in closet, provide comfort and privacy for family or guests.
A gourmet kitchen features a spacious walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a separate wine fridge. The space also includes a casual dining area, a butcher block island with seating, and a convenient kitchen office.
An executive office offers panoramic views toward the gardens, mountains and stained glass sculpture, plus a personal fireplace, direct access to the beverage center and a custom-designed desk, all providing the perfect workspace for today's executive.
Welcome your guests with a detached guest house, complete with clerestory windows, a full kitchen and bathroom, fireplace, and private terrace, for guests, multigenerational living, an art studio or a home gym.
Indoor entertainment spaces include an upstairs entertainment loft connected to a rooftop terrace with breathtaking views, along with a spacious media room that could be renovated into a fifth bedroom. Outdoor entertaining features luxurious infinity-edge pool with hot tub with cascading waterfall, framed by dual copper gas cauldrons and perched over the natural desert landscape with skyline views. Entertain on extended pool deck, barbecue area, elevated viewing deck, and a lower garden with irrigated organic raised veggie beds and citrus trees. A wood-burning chiminea and a spacious canvas-covered lounge area enhance the ambiance. The 2.7 acre property includes fenced areas while leaving usable land for new owner to create their own vision.
Expansive four-car garage and storage area, totaling nearly 2,000 square feet, is a car enthusiast's dream. In addition to a cedar-lined storage/server room and a separate storage area, a dedicated car pad has been added for extra exterior storage, with room for further expansion. Positioned at the top of the property, the garage provides seamless access to the paver driveway, motor court, and entry gardens, all offering ample parking for additional vehicles. Additional recent upgrades include fully paid solar power with battery storage, dual EV chargers, commercial-grade Wi-Fi, whole-home water filtration, new BBQ, smart home automation for security, audio and comfort and new canvas awnings.
