This season, we are all preparing to gather ‘round the table, host family and friends, or join our loved ones at the dining table for the holidays. No matter the season, we tend to have essential meals in this space, and Arizona’s luxury estates have decadent dining rooms perfect for any celebration. The dining room is where we host, entertain, break bread, and form lasting memories.
Since the dining room is often the setting for momentous occasions, filling these spaces with decadent decor is a popular way to set the scene. Dazzling chandeliers, intricate ceiling details, and beautiful table settings are just a few examples of what makes for a decadent dining room experience. Finding the perfect home with a luxurious dining room is easy with the guidance of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty lifestyle expert.
Be the hostess with the most this season with a decadent dining room from this month’s edition of ICONIC Estates!
Surrounded by a beautiful mountainscape, the new Camelback Residences, located in the heart of Scottsdale and in the private gated community of Ascent at The Phoenician, offer the unique opportunity to live at the base of the Valley’s most famous mountain.
Adjacent to the luxurious The Phoenician Resort and just steps away from Camelback Mountain, the exclusive residences offer stylish indoor-outdoor living complete with a private rooftop terrace that provides a 360-degree view of the Valley and, of course, ICONIC Camelback Mountain. The collection of 60 condominium residences ranges from one-bedroom plus den to three-bedroom plus den plans that each reflect a timeless modern design.
The cuisine-focused Michelin Guide, featuring thousands of recommended eateries worldwide, resonates deeply with a food-loving public and talented chefs who reach for those stars. In the restaurant world, a Michelin star matters.
“Since its founding in 1900, the main goal of the Michelin Guide hasn’t changed: It strives to choose the best places by providing honest and high-quality recommendations to culinary connoisseurs worldwide.”
When most people think of Nashville, they immediately think of country music and honky tonks. And the aptly named Music City is home to ICONIC music venues such as the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium, Music Row, a section of downtown dedicated to the music industry, and, of course, Broadway, a strip of bars, and yes, honky tonks, where those hoping to break into the music industry get their start by playing into wee hours of the morning.
However, over the years, the world is beginning to realize that there’s much more to Nashville, which we cover in this Nashville travel guide. From where to eat and what to do, read on to get the most out of your stay in Nashville.
Throughout the state of Arizona, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty has been proud to represent and participate in the following sales for September.
We refer to these as ‘Significant Sales.’ While all of our transactions are genuinely significant, we hope you enjoy discovering these unique homes based not only on price but their architectural, cultural, and geographical significance, as well as those involved in the journey.
Enjoy!

The Most Expensive Home to Ever Hit the Market in Sedona – Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is Proud to Introduce the $19.445 million Tuscan Masterpiece With 57-Acres, Vineyard, and HOA Control.
Offering 1,700 square feet of Oak Creek frontage and surrounded by National Forest Service land, the once-in-a-lifetime property boasts historic guest homes, a rustic barn, and its own private vineyard with over 60 Zinfandel grape vines yielding approximately 500 gallons per year.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty has a 75-year history representing buyers and sellers for many of Arizona’s finest and most extortionary properties. That long-standing tradition continues with a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime property, now Sedona’s most expensive residential listing to date.
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce that 330 Eagle Mountain Ranch Road in Sedona, Arizona, is available for sale at $19.445 million by Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Agent Devin Johnston.
As the price tag would indicate, this luxury Tuscan-style Villa was built sparing no expense, and the home is also Sedona’s best-kept secret. Long-time local residents and few realtors are aware of this private gated subdivision with only five luxury homes.
Located in world-famous Sedona, the 57+ acre dream property includes 1,700 square feet of Oak Creek frontage and is surrounded by National Forest Service land. Be one with nature in this pristine environment that abounds with local wildlife and all the modern-day comforts. Feel the ancient serenity and see the footprints still visible in the petroglyphs that can be found just a short distance from the property’s edge.
“Eagle Mountain Estate is a unique Sedona property that combines over-the-top luxury living with acreage and gated security. The property offers soaring cliffs, ownership of both sides of Oak Creek, fruit orchards, an open meadow, and even a pond. This combination has never been available in any property listed in Sedona,” said Johnston.
Requesting anonymity, the seller said the time has come to let someone else enjoy this pristine property that has been a part of Sedona’s rich history for many decades. “We have been so blessed to live here in this amazing house and in this sacred Valley for more than a decade, but we are now ready to give someone else this incredible opportunity so that they too can enjoy the experience and be the guardians of this beautiful property.”
The main house offers 3,700 square feet of luxurious mountain living with the finest finishes and timeless architecture. Built-in 2006 and then extensively remodeled in 2015, the Villa utilizes top-quality Venetian Plaster, American Clay finishes, hand distressed mesquite cabinetry and slab granite. Appliances are Subzero, Wolfe, and Viking. The kitchen has two dishwashers, a warming drawer, two convection ovens, and an island prep sink. The fully outfitted bar includes a double kegerator, subzero refrigerator, and Scotsman ice maker.
In the Master Suite, there is a coffee bar with a full-size dishwasher and subzero bar refrigerator, all tastefully hidden behind the custom mesquite cabinetry. The Master Bath offers separate sinks and vanities with an above-ground soaking tub and majestic chandelier. Just off the Master wing is a 777-gallon in-ground Jacuzzi tub with gas-lit braziers overlooking Oak Creek. This smart home has a SONOS-supported sound system and Crestron lighting and speaker volume control throughout the house.
Twin refrigerated wine racks grace the majestic dining room and can accommodate up to 500 bottles. The estate also boasts a private vineyard with over 60 Zinfandel grape vines yielding approximately 500 gallons per year. A reflecting pool, two historic guest homes, a rustic barn, and two historic, small, red-rock-constructed storage buildings are also on the property. The gated motor court and an oversized four-car garage with mini split climate control keep your vehicles comfortable.
For those that prefer self-sufficiency or just lower energy bills, this home offers an owned 23KW solar power system. As well, two 1,000-gallon buried propane tanks feed a 48KW backup home generator, so you never lose power. Recirculating, instant hot water is also available throughout the entire house.
The grounds include more than 1,600 apples, nectarine, and peach trees, all watered with fully automated irrigation systems. A charming pond with a fountain water feature and dock graces the large meadow and is viewable from Eagle Mountain Ranch Road. If you want to practice your golf swing, then the six-acre field is the perfect place! Alongside Oak Creek is a beach party area with an outbuilding, a large fire pit, and a volleyball area.
Maybe most impressively, the estate also includes a 62.5% controlling interest in the professionally managed HOA, so the owner has majority voting power in their possession. The subdivision is fed by three private wells with a new 34,000-gallon water tank with a dedicated backup generator. The pond is provided by a creek pump that irrigates the meadow and orchards.
Most 57 acres are zoned agricultural, saving over $40,000 in property taxes annually. Paperwork regarding water rights to Oak Creek will be included in the sale. If you have been searching for the perfect Sedona property that offers privacy, security, and Oak Creek frontage, then the Eagle Mountain Estate is it!
Between a vineyard, HOA control, majestic vistas, and agricultural zoning, this property is a different type of special. Incredible experiences and future memories await the next owner of this hallmark property, courtesy of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.

The Russ Lyon Foundation partnered with Arizona Helping Hands to host a backpack drive for foster care kids who need extra TLC just before the start of this upcoming school year. In all, the event gave away 2,000 backpacks, and each one was full of different supplies children need to have a successful school year. It’s the 10th year in a row the group has held this event.
“The Russ Lyon Foundation would like to thank all the agents and staff that donated backpacks, school supplies, money and their time. The Arizona Helping Hands Back to School Drive was a huge success!! Through their incredible generosity, we were able to help hundreds of foster kids start school prepared for a successful year.“
Stephanie Stewart, Russ Lyon Foundation PResident
