This masterpiece is equally tailor-made for those who love sports as well as those who love to entertain.
Have you ever dreamed of flying into town, taxing directly into your own private hangar, stepping into your home and shooting a game of hoops, or hitting a few balls in your own batting cage? While that may seem like a somewhat elaborate dream, it can actually now come to reality.
Star Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger can make that dream come true for you; Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Arizona’s leader in luxury real estate, is listing his “ultimate man cave” for sale at $3,999,000 with Agent Jennifer Bellinger, who when she’s not finding buyers for exquisite custom homes in Arizona also serves as Cody Bellinger’s mother.
This beautiful Forte custom home at 4390 W Beechcraft Place in Chandler measures in at 4,513 square feet on one level, with 3 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, but the numbers don’t do it justice when compared to the incredible amenities that it contains. The first and most prominent is the 3,762 square foot air-conditioned airplane hanger which taxis directly onto the Stellar runway. You can transit directly from a private plane right into your home.
The most unique features reflect the occupation of its owner, however; this is a sports-lover’s paradise. It naturally contains a retractable batting cage as well as a basketball court, a bar, and a game room. The absolutely perfect destination for your sports fanatic friends to come to and let loose. If you want to make your friends envious, this has what you need.
Of course, the home won’t be purely for recreation, and to that end, this exquisite home features dual master bedrooms, a guest suite, and a formal office.
The open floor plan has 18′ ceilings with floating box beam ceiling treatments. Towering gas linear fireplace in the main room is the centerpiece of the living area. While you’re entertaining, it’s essential to create great meals, and this home’s kitchen is appointed with Subzero/Wolf appliances including a built-in espresso maker, dual Cove dishwashers, and the dining space has built-in Subzero Wine Fridge.
If you want to cook outside in the beautiful Arizona weather, it has an outdoor kitchen with a pizza over. And it also features a heated pool jacuzzi, and a fireplace, making it an ideal meeting spot for not just your sports enthusiast friends, but friends and family of all hobbies and stripes.
And you know the old adage about real estate; it’s all about location, location, location. This Chandler home speaks perfectly to that, as it is close to world-renowned shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and schools. It’s an ideal place to both entertain family and raises a family.
We invite you to take your own virtual tour of the property by watching this video, with both video and photo credit going to Anthony Giammarino at Airobird Drones Arizona.
We are confident that you’ll think that this gorgeous home is just as much of a home run as Cody Bellinger did when he purchased it.

We start and end each day in our bathroom, so why shouldn’t our bathrooms be luxurious sanctuaries for us to find peace and calm? We all look forward to a steaming shower or a soak in the tub to find a moment of zen. Indulge in an at-home spa treatment, skincare routine, or bubble bath. These luxurious spa bathrooms serve as a place of respite.
The primary bathroom is often the largest in a home and becomes the center for your personal spa. Spacious walk-in showers and oversized soaking tubs are often features of this space, along with a glamorous vanity area. Lighting is another key to a sanctuary bathroom, so be sure to have plenty of ambient and natural lighting.
Find your luxurious escape with a sanctuary spa bathroom in a beautiful home offered by Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. A trusted expert from Russ Lyon is happy to help you find the relaxing atmosphere in one of their stunning estates.

If you are a proponent of pampering your pooch, you’ll love the unique architectural dog houses that are built each year for the annual Facings of America Design for Dogs competition. Local Phoenix-based architects, interior designers, builders, and industry partners compete head-to-head to design and build the best custom, one-of-a-kind dog house while fundraising for the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA. At the Design for Dogs event—which was held in Scottsdale, Arizona—each dog house entry was on display for voters to rank, and a silent auction was held.
To bring the desert luxury spa resort experience back to earth, just add water and shift the standard paradigm of its location a bit out of the left field. This is exactly what film industry veteran Maria Lease had in mind when she looked to Coachella Valley as the prime location for her day spa resort, Azure Palm Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa Oasis.
And rather than looking to the obvious—the eternally bright and trendy downtown Palm Springs California or the oh-so-posh Palm Desert—she had her sights set on Desert Hot Springs, just a half-hour drive away from the two tourist draws. While the surroundings of Desert Hot Springs are a bit more low-key, it makes perfect sense for a spa resort when you consider that a relatively distraction-free space is the best place for self-care, with nature front and center.
Tess Loo’s luxe home decor is anything but ordinary, in fact, much of it is secondhand or DIY. As co-owner and Chief Fashion Officer of Eco-Chic Consignments—a collection of boutique resale stores including My Sister’s Closet, Well Suited, and My Sister’s Attic—Loo is all too familiar with the unique style and joy that preloved interior design can bring.
“I believe that in decorating, you can do high and low. You can buy a piece from Goodwill for $35, mix it with an antique you might have, and nobody knows and you don’t even have to tell them,” says Loo.

The $4.5 million Sale of the Catalina Foothills Home Shatters Records in both the Foothills and the City of Tucson.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce the 4.45 million dollar sale of Tucson’s “Villa Esperero”, a sale which has toppled selling price records in both Tucson, as well as the Catalina Foothills.
It was an honor to be involved with the sale of Villa Esperero at Rattlesnake Canyon once again
Judy Smedes, Listing Agent
The luxurious custom-built home spans 9,000-square-feet on a sprawling 49-acre lot with incredible mountain and valley views, and represents yet another landmark sale for Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Southern Arizona.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Agents Judy Smedes and Kate Herk represented both sides in this outstanding transaction and guided both seller and buyer smoothly through the process. Impeccably designed by architect Ron Robinette to synthesize international influences with the natural beauty of Tucson, Villa Esperero is a work of art which is nestled in the exclusive Rattlesnake Canyon Estates. This one-of-a-kind estate is best described as having incredibly precise detailing and meticulous craftsmanship, carefully executed with a wide array of fine finishes including mesquite floors, natural stone & marble.
Located at 6799 N. Rattlesnake Canyon Drive, the 9,003-square-feet includes five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. It sits amongst a beautiful natural desert landscape including a myriad of saguaros as well as other desert surprises.
Villa Esperero is a work of art. It is a spectacular luxury home unlike any other inTucson.
Kate Herk, LIsting agent
Nestled far into the Foothills, Villa Esperero is a haven for peace and solitude, as well as a full embrace of the local landscape and surrounding nature. For guests who want to make the trek out, however, this home is nearly custom-made for entertaining. With a large and inviting outdoor area, as well as a dramatic great room with a 25-foot ceiling, it has both the hominess as well as the ”wow” factor that will both impress your guests and simultaneously make them feel right at home factor for potential guests: a full grand piano for the musically talented amongst us.
Guests will no doubt be delighted as they gaze towards the wall of windows and out at the mountain ranges with the backdrop of piano playing. And that wall of windows along with the vaulted ceilings lend themselves to a bright, open atmosphere with plenty of natural light to illuminate your lifestyle.
The kitchen comes fully prepared to both accommodate a hungry family and a thirsty gaggle of friends. A wet bar is there for entertaining those friends, and a gas range and kitchen island make it a comfortable and well-equipped place to prepare meals. And should those friends indulge a bit too much, guest facilities are there to ensure that they don’t need to make their way down the mountain at night.
Lastly, and perhaps the most impressive of the “wow” aspects (especially for baseball fans): this home has its own hitting cage and viewing area! Decked out with the logos of major league teams, baseball fans won’t want to leave and the hosts will certainly be amongst the most coveted folks in town.
A truly unique and beautiful property, Villa Esperero is yet another example of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty’s excellence in connecting buyers and sellers for the sale of one of the most impressive and valuable custom homes in the country.
Congratulations to our 2021 sales associates in receiving recognition as our Lyon’s Elite, Chairman’s Board, and President’s Club members. Thes sales professionals embody our brand values with exceptional service, unmatched local expertise, and global connections.
