Property Description
Essence of the Desert, an architecturally distinct estate featured in leading design publications including Dwell and Phoenix Home & Garden and designed by architect Amit Upadhye. This home reflects a disciplined approach to form, scale, and modern living. Set on over an acre with 100′ set back and expansive views of the McDowell Mountains, the property balances privacy with a strong connection to its desert surroundings. The timeless architecture emphasizes precision and permanence, with a palette of industrial, high-quality materials-100% poured in place concrete and block construction-selected for both durability and visual impact, commercial grade floor-to-ceiling glass- flooding the space with light and views-blurring the lines between indoors and out.
