Extraordinary Property of the Week: 487 Loy Lane

Commanding one of the most extraordinary view corridors in all of Sedona, 487 Loy Lane is a newly completed hilltop masterpiece that redefines luxury desert living. With uninterrupted 360-degree vistas of Cathedral Rock, the Coconino National Forest, and the tranquil ribbon of Oak Creek, this 4151-square-foot modern estate offers a one-of-a-kind lifestyle immersed in nature and refined elegance.

Located in the prestigious, gated community of Sedona Ranch on Oak Creek, this 3-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence sits on an estate-sized 2.54-acre parcel, backing directly to protected Forest Service land. Designed by celebrated architect Erik Peterson of Phoenix Architecture and built by American Southern Homes, the home captures the soul of Sedona while showcasing the best in high-end contemporary construction.

Step through the grand entrance and into a world where floor-to-ceiling views steal the show. The open-concept great room is an entertainer’s dream—expansive, light-filled, and perfectly framed by the red rock horizon. Luxury materials and thoughtful finishes abound, from hardwood plank flooring and quartz countertops, to solid-core hardwood doors and custom Brizo Litze fixtures.

The chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, equipped with a 36” Wolf professional gas range, Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, Wolf built-in microwave, Asko dishwasher, and a spacious island designed for gathering. Whether you’re preparing meals or sipping wine at sunset, the experience is elevated by your surroundings.

The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with access to breathtaking outdoor spaces, while two additional bedrooms—each with ensuite baths—offer comfort and privacy for guests. A bonus recreation room provides flexibility for a home office, media lounge, fitness studio, or a fourth bedroom, depending on your lifestyle needs.

Outdoors, multiple patios and expansive view decks invite you to linger longer. Listen to the gentle flow of Oak Creek from the front courtyard, enjoy morning hikes that begin at your backdoor, or gather with guests to watch the sun set behind Cathedral Rock—every moment feels like a private resort experience.

This home also includes a 3-car oversized garage, spray foam insulation, tankless water heater, 14 SEER HVAC system, Low-E dual-pane Pella windows, and Energy Star performance throughout. High-speed broadband internet makes remote work seamless, and a furniture package is available via a separate bill of sale to offer a true turn-key experience.

With dual gated access to both Sedona’s Village of Oak Creek and Western Gateway, 487 Loy Lane is perfectly positioned for both serenity and convenience.

This is not just a residence—it is a statement of place, a retreat of soul, and a celebration of design, offered in one of Sedona’s most sought-after luxury communities.
