Overview

Description

A spectacular desert gem, set on over 38,00 square feet of natural desert landscape. Designed by two quintessential mid-century architects, this landmark was first conceived and built by Blaine Drake, and subsequently re-imagined and expanded by Al Beadle. Floor to ceiling glass panels throughout the home integrate panoramic desert and mountain views into the interior home setting. With clean lines and original, yet classic features such as the block hearth and circular swimming fountain, the design combines elegance and utility with an appreciate of the Arizona desert.
