Located in the majestic red rock scenery and evergreen vegetation of Sedona, this one-of-a-kind home boasts 5,1771-square-feet combining serenity with distinctive architectural design by Paul Froncek.
This five-bedroom, four-bathroom estate was meticulously crafted with the principles of the Feng Shui Bagua Map using 300-year-old wood posts and beams that support all nine centers of the dwelling. One of the home’s notable features includes a large quartz crystal enclosed in a copper chamber located in the living room that connects to the foundation of the house. The crystal has many beneficial uses, including aiding the homeowners with manifesting healing, meditation and protection, as well as purifying negative energy from the house.
The exquisite home includes Zen-like patios with hanging beds and massive hand-carved wooden doors/screens that seamlessly integrate the indoor spaces with the outdoor greenery to create an enriched living experience. The privacy of this 1.33-acre property includes gardens, a solar heated pool, and guest house that invites visitors to spend time enjoying the breathtaking views of the red rocks.
This house is timeless. It was a privilege to represent this iconic dwelling that incorporates the beauty of Sedona’s red rocks with masterfully crafted Zen characteristics to creates the perfect peaceful retreat.
