A Dream Team Comes Together Like a Symphony to Create a Custom Estate That is a Work of Art, introducing Ellington Heights in Silverleaf''There is no art when one does something without intention.'' -- Duke Ellington.Without a doubt the King of Jazz would consider Ellington Heights--a sleek and stylish gem--a superb work of art. Nestled in the sun-kissed upper canyon of Silverleaf, an exclusive enclave in Scottsdale, Arizona, the design for this magnificent estate collected inspiration from the social, artistic and cultural dynamism of the Roaring Twenties era. Further, the design journey for this modern desert prairie-style home, included finding perfect harmony with its Sonoran surroundings.(see 'more' now) An absolute dream team has come together like an orchestra, each playing their individual parts to create beautiful music together in construction and home design. Start with award-winning architect CP Drewett, principal of Drewett Works, a leading firm that has in just the last three years amassed more than 20 distinguished national awards for architectural excellence and innovation in custom home design. Drewett is passionate about his work and emboldened by a challenge, which is what inspires him daily. The Drewett brand is synonymous with delivering design beyond the expected, and Drewett has been continuously recognized for his bold imagination. Claire Ownby, founder of leading design firm, Ownby Design, was charged with fulfilling the interior design vision for this magnificent estate, bringing beauty, energy and life into these dramatic spaces. Ownby leads one of the largest interior design teams, and she is widely recognized and respected for creating spaces that come together flawlessly. She wins awards every year nationally for her extraordinary work. The finest design of any custom estate only comes together under the guidance of a master builder, well versed in the complexity and craftsmanship of this caliber of a home. Gary Fries, founder of GF Fries Construction. Unlike most custom home builders, Fries is personally involved in every aspect of building a custom estate of extraordinary quality. He is well regarded as an expert in Silverleaf and DC Ranch, and has been chosen to build or renovate more than 50 homes in this community, based on his reputation for the highest integrity and craftsmanshiphis greatest passion. Together this team represents the best of the best, and a home of this caliber deserves nothing less. As construction begins, we await a masterpiece in the desert that will be available to own for a discerning homeowner with whom this level of team and quality resonates. To that end, every inch of the 17,000-plus square-foot home, plus 9,000 square feet of covered outdoor living space, was contemplated with discerning intention, understanding the exacting standards of the high-net worth individuals who will find Ellington Heights compelling. It's a modern estate yet perfectly at home in the Arizona desert. And, much like the desert itself, the design exudes understated simplicity, yet is significant in its detail. Envisioned with only the finest materials and finishes available, the homeowner can expect perfection at every turn. Open and airy to accommodate the natural light, the design celebrates the sweeping views of the valley below, including a unique, geographical saddle, offering stunning sunsets and city lights as the day progresses. With a nod to the era that included the high style of the Great Gatsby era, architect C.P. Drewett, imagined the three-story residence with entertaining in mind. Importantly, he considers the expansive, main floor great room, bar and dining area to be the soul of the house. The homeowner and guests will gather around several bars and in game areas. They will linger in indoor/outdoor spaces, around inspiring fire features, expansive landscaped patios and will enjoy the benefits of a 90-foot-long lap pool and integrated spa. Enthusiasts will also appreciate the outdoor golf simulator and practice-perfect putting green. The estate's materials palette includes a beautiful mix of ledgestone, limestone, hemlock and clay tile, providing a subtle yet distinctive contrast. The interior choices were directly inspired by the exterior. Expect a layered, yet monochromatic look incorporating a moody, sophisticated mix of bronzes, beiges and "minky" hues. Nine fireplaces are wrapped in natural stone. The chevron-patterned wood floors throughout Ellington Heights provide a further nod to the jazz-infused era of inspiration. Clean, elegant, and timeless define the home's primary kitchen. Exuding modern luxury, it's a vibrant space in which to indulge the senses, share experiences with friends and family and create lasting memories. Only the finest integrated appliances have been selected for the estate home including the exquisite craftsmanship of Eggersmann Kitchens in the primary kitchen, lounge and bar. Expect Wolf and SubZero amenities in the back-service kitchen, car bar, casita and exercise room. The future homeowner will find the spacious, primary suite a place of respite and luxury within the comfort of home. Fine details, tailor-made for Ellington Heights will refresh and inspire while the bespoke wardrobe area promises to elevate dressing to a special occasion. The home has many destination points, including the wellness center, where you'll find an indoor spa area complete with an infrared sauna, steam shower and cold plunge pool. The exercise room, located within a glass catwalk connecting the main home to a guest casita, provides outstanding views for the fitness-minded. The guests of Ellington Heights will appreciate the comfort, convenience and privacy provided by an expansive 1,324 square foot casita with its own garage. Among the seven-bedroom, ten-bath home's many distinctive features, is a below-level, auto-display garage with a car lift and turntable that can handle 20 vehicles. Providing an unexpected and pleasant surprise, the subterranean showroom offers an extraordinary view of the upper-level pool through glass. Infused with history, yet thoroughly modern, this ICONIC estate home is a desert gem to be treasured. The Ellington Heights estate is located within Silverleaf, an exclusive 2,000-acre community in the heart of North Scottsdale. With easy access to all the Valley of the Sun has to offer, yet tucked into the canyons of the McDowell Mountains and surrounded by the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the location offers privacy paired with a compelling lifestyle. The private club features a Tom Weiskopf designed, 18-hole championship golf course that winds along 7,322 yards of inspiring terrain.

23036 N VIA VENTOSA Drive Scottsdale, Arizona

9 Beds 17 Baths 25,989 SqFt 6.615 Acres

Immediate occupancy on this beautiful ranch hacienda-style architecture inside Silverleaf. Designed by acclaimed architect John Sather of Swaback Partners, it was built with the highest quality materials and workmanship, and every room reflects extraordinary attention to detail. Nestled on six acres on the side of the McDowell Mountains - and backing onto a nature preserve - the property is truly a mountainside sanctuary that offers both privacy and an organic connection to the Sonoran Desert. The entrance speaks volumes about what's inside. The imposing arched front door with seeded-glass panels was custom crafted of reclaimed materials by La Puerta of Santa Fe, and the two-story entryway features a commanding chandelier fabricated by the trade-only designer Paul Ferrante. The hardwood floors in the house are made of distressed hickory, and they perfectly compliment the artisanal plasterwork on the walls. Imported from Italy, the Albertini windows and glass-paneled doors, with their rich burnt-pine finish, are another strong design element. Tucson-based Taber & Co. made the bespoke in-wall mesquite cabinets in the living room, and the custom interior doors are also solid mesquite. Attention to detail is found throughout. The twin custom granite sinks in the kitchen feature integrated drain boards chiseled into the countertop no dish racks needed. To reduce back strain when rolling dough, chopping vegetables, or doing other prep work, the center island was set at an above-standard 42" height. Electric outlets throughout the house were faux painted to match the surrounding walls and backsplashes. The three decorative panels on each interior door were deliberately sized so that the door lever is perfectly centered on the door rail. And the massive living room fireplace surround was entirely assembled from book-matched marble slabs, to stunning effect. Many of the rooms are worthy of special mention. Befitting a movie producer who wants to experience films in the best possible way, the 10-seat tiered theater is equipped with state-of-the-art projection and sound systems designed by Shen Milsom & Wilke, a world-class engineering firm serviced locally by Jim Miller of Desert Sound and Security. Next to the theater on the lower level is a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, whose rustic stone walls help maintain ideal temperature and humidity levels for long-term storage. Also on the "play" level is a game room that can accommodate all sorts of toys, which currently include a pool table, juke box, Skee-Ball alley, Harley-themed pinball machine and poker table. The spacious Primary Suite was designed to achieve just the right balance between privacy and togetherness. The suite has a common bedroom but completely separate dual bathrooms and dual closets. The suite also includes a room for luggage storage and a private patio with a fireplace and whirlpool. Located in a stand-alone structure a little further up the mountain, the Spa is another noteworthy space. On one side is a fully equipped exercise room with wall-to-wall French doors and transom windows that wash the room with light and offer lovely views of a desert garden. On the other side is an intimate massage room with an exquisite domed mosaic ceiling. How many homes have an ADA-compliant bedroom suite? This one does. All of the light switches are set at ADA height, the bathroom vanity is ADA accessible, and there are grab bars at the commode and in the shower. A commercial-grade elevator serves all three floors and is also ADA-compliant. The exterior spaces are equally impressive. Berghoff Design Group did the landscaping, which features a virtual arboretum of mature, thriving ironwood, palo verde, mesquite, and Texas ebony trees, all native to the Desert Southwest. These trees form a natural canopy and add to the overall sense of privacy which characterizes this property. The fountains are genuine antiques, and an inviting bougainvillea-lined walkway made from reclaimed stone leads to the main entrance. The pool deck has been the center of numerous successful fundraisers and memorable events. When the setting sun casts its magical glow on the McDowell Mountains, it's hard not to be in a special frame of mind. Before moving to Arizona, the owners had lived in a 60-story condo in Manhattan. The apartment was contemporary in style, with white walls, blond wood floors and black lacquer accents, a long way from the ranch hacienda look. As the owners began to view life in NYC from a glass-half-empty perspective - as their daughter was about to enter middle school - Scottsdale was at the top of their list of possible destinations. They knew the area well, having vacationed at the Phoenician Resort for many years. With its modern infrastructure, sunny and dry climate, high-end shops, good restaurants and even a branch of the Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale seemed like the ideal choice. When the owners moved here, they fully embraced Spanish-Style architecture. It was fun to work with a completely different set of materials and colors, and they really got into the project, which took more than three years to complete. In the end, they had realized their vision. It will always be their dream house. See Motion Video. Easy to show, by appointment please. $16,000,000 Active
