In the rugged reaches of exclusive Las Campanas this secluded estate--a sophisticated home and guesthouse--was custom-designed and -built amid blossoming trees, aspens, and stalwart evergreens. The residence is a bastion of color and volume featuring three luxuriously restful bedroom suites, formal living and dining rooms, a vast cook's kitchen with a wet bar and a family room, an inviting guesthouse with a full kitchen and bath, and painstakingly landscaped grounds. Vibrantly colored polished plaster walls combine with soaring ceilings, wide windows, multiple fireplaces, a collection of portales, a roof deck, and a swimming pool shaded by a pergola to create an ideal setting for grand entertaining, a haven crafted for the appreciation of the outdoors, and the perfect venue for the display of art. Surrounding the home are natural greenery, carefully chosen landscaping, sculpture gardens, water features, and a water-wise artificial turf lawn.
In the tree-studded rolling hills northwest of town are Las Campanas and a host of other developments and neighborhoods of larger, private lots and newer homes, most with city services and utilities. The land here sits between the city and the arroyos that carry rainwater to the Rio Grande, just a few miles west, creating a landscape almost like ocean waves rolling into shore.
