Property Description

Perched on what is arguably the premier view lot in the entire Verde Valley, this rare Highlander plan delivers a level of luxury, privacy, and panoramic scenery that is almost impossible to find. Perfectly positioned on an expansive .17-acre cul-de-sac homesite, the property captures breathtaking, unobstructed hillside views that stretch across Sedona's iconic red rocks and the cottonwood-lined Verde River Valley from the rear, while showcasing sweeping vistas of historic Jerome and majestic Mingus Mountain from the front. The rear vista also offers an opportunity to enjoy and observe the vast wildlife in the area, including javelina, mule deer, coyotes, and a variety of birds--especially raptors--creating a natural sanctuary just steps from your home. Adding to the property's exceptional livability, the yard has been thoughtfully enhanced with perimeter animal fencing and gated closure, allowing pets to safely enjoy the outdoor space while preserving the clean aesthetic and expansive views of the landscape. Inside, the highly sought-after Highlander design lives far larger than its footprint thanks to its bright, open, and beautifully separated split floorplan. Even more rare is the four-bedroom configuration paired with an extended three-car garage, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, home offices, or multigenerational living. Walls of glass frame the extraordinary scenery, highlighted by a 12-foot sliding glass door that opens to an extended outdoor great room, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living against a breathtaking natural backdrop. The interior showcases nine-foot ceilings, eight-foot interior doors, a modern linear fireplace, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, along with a true gourmet kitchen featuring a built-in gas cooktop and expansive workspace--thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. This Mandalay iON Home is built for the future with advanced efficiency and technology, including solar and energy storage readiness, a REME HALO whole-home air purification system, and a Prometheus solar system with 24 panels installed in 2024. A new CertainTeed shingle roof installed in 2025 adds long-term peace of mind. Luxury details continue throughout the home with a Rachiele custom stainless farmhouse sink, reverse osmosis water system, Container Store Elfa custom closet systems, integrated security system, and a whole-great room audio system with surround sound extending to the outdoor living space. The home is also equipped with custom wiring service panels ready for a future hot tub and sauna. The extended insulated three-car garage with epoxy flooring is equally impressive, featuring eight-foot garage doors, keyless entry, a service door, and a utility wash sink. Set at the end of a quiet and private cul-de-sac with an oversized driveway, this exceptional property combines rare design, cutting-edge upgrades, and one of the most spectacular panoramic view settings in the entire Verde Valley. A truly extraordinary opportunity to own a home that stands in a class of its own.
