VIEWS
Sedona easily fits the category of a location with ”Million Dollar Views”—a place where the dramatic landscape is so stunning that to behold it, opens the heart and frees the mind to dream bigger dreams. To walk into a room that brings the outdoors inside encourages a sense of freedom and connection with all life. The striking views give you a sense of well-being, openness and expansiveness that uplifts the human spirit.
In Sedona, you live in the view—looking out, driving, walking—the ever-changing scenery fosters a shift in perspective. You are constantly reminded of the beauty of all life. A panorama of mountains, buttes and red rock spires bathed in golden sunrises and crimson sunsets produces an exalted feeling. A pantheon of characters and images are cast on the red rocks with the changing light of day. As you watch the weather drift in and out of the area, observe wildlife moving with the times of day and the season, the quality of your moment to moment life is naturally improved. There is a constant sense of gratitude for being able to live in one of nature’s most eye-dazzling creations.
Whatever lies open to sight from a home--sweeping, panoramic or distant views--becomes a larger living space, a space the soul can stretch out to and become a part of this incredible natural setting. This is Sedona!
FOUR SEASONS' CLIMATE
Offering a mild four season climate, Sedona is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor living amidst its famed Red Rock scenery. Whether it’s enjoying morning coffee with the dawn of a fresh new day, basking in the glow of a Sedona sunset or relaxing under a brightly lit moon, Sedona’s great outdoors is an ever-changing palate of magnificent colors. Sedona homes often extend their indoor living outside with dramatic kitchens, dining and entertainment areas, from a simple grill to an elaborate gourmet cooking center, perhaps even an outdoor pizza oven.
Listen to the peace and quiet or to a state-of-the-art audio/video system while sharing a meal with loved ones. Unwind to the warm glow of your outdoor fireplace and to the serenade of water features, swimming pool or spa integrated into these inviting spaces. Connect to nature under a warm blanket of stars and awaken to a refreshing outdoor shower. Imagine sharing your magnificent Sedona home with family and friends, as you and they are treated to breathtaking vistas and spectacular weather, while lasting memories are made. Come . . . Live in Beauty!
CREEKSIDE LIVING
Awaken to the sounds of the incredibly scenic Oak Creek outside your window. The water spilling over the rocks as it courses its way to meet the Verde River is wonderfully soothing and nourishing. The tall sycamores, cottonwoods and pine trees create a canopy of shade and shelter from the typically hot Arizona sun.
The riparian areas along the creek offer a gorgeous sanctuary for birds, fish and diverse animals that depend on the water and the woods for their existence. Silently watching the heron standing on one leg in the shallow creek as he waits for lunch to swim by is a special treat. Ducks swimming languidly in circles as the water tumbles over the rocks nearby is endlessly captivating. The view of the water is forever changing, depending on the weather; slow, cool and calming on warm summer days, rushing and exciting as the weather changes and the monsoon storms move in.
Homes with creek frontage are especially desirable. Decks or patios built above the water take advantage of the ever-changing scenery, allowing owners and guests a respite from the demands of the day. If this sounds like it’s the perfect setting for you, then a creek-front home along beautiful Oak Creek is the ideal location for your next luxury residence.
POOLS
Sedona luxury homes showcase a variety of pools, from state-of-the-art lap pools to elaborate outdoor sanctuaries. They can be indoors or out, and the finishes range from simple plaster to elaborate Pebble Tec
LUXURY KITCHENS
Luxury kitchens in Sedona come in all shapes and sizes. What differentiates a luxury kitchen from a standard kitchen are specific upgrades: appliances, floor coverings, countertops, cabinetry, and lighting, to name a few. The appliances in a luxury kitchen will most likely be Viking, Thermador, LG, Samsung, Wolf and other top brands. Some other European brands are entering the market with a splash, including Gaggenau from Switzerland and Lacanche from France. These appliances are most likely going to be stainless steel or a beautiful colored enamel. The ovens and range tops will be 5+ burners with separate grilling areas, double ovens, and warming drawers. Refrigerators will be stand-alone, double-door, and in some cases a separate freezer and beverage center. Occasionally the appliances in a luxury kitchen are commercially graded. Sinks, prep sinks, and vegetable sinks are often stainless steel, copper or porcelain/enamel with designer hardware to match.
Countertops can be a variety of surfaces such as granite, slate, alabaster, and flooring is either imported wood, tile, or natural stone. Cabinetry is expected to be custom in most luxury homes, and current trends in wood are alder, maple, cherry and walnut; some metals are gaining in popularity such as copper and stainless steel. These cabinets will often have glass fronts, pull-out drawers, and soft-close mechanisms. Lighting in luxury kitchens is mostly separately designed by a lighting expert. This is done for task-specific purposes as in mood lighting and accent lighting. Some of the best luxury kitchens reflect the lifestyle and character of the owners and are specifically designed for personal use and entertaining. Sedona has many gorgeous state-of-the-art kitchens. If you’re looking for a luxury home with a true gourmet luxury kitchen designed for the “chef” in you, let us know and we’ll find it for you!

In addition to features such as reclining leather seats, subwoofers with tactile transducers, 3-D viewing, and décor themed to match your favorite movie, your home theater technologists can also be used to fully-integrate all of your home’s automated systems so you can set the thermostat, turn on lights, music, or your hot tub, and check the security from anywhere inside or outside of the home.

Oakcreek Country Club
The Premier of Sedona, Arizona Golf Courses is the Oakcreek Country Club designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. In the usual Trent Jones manner, the fairways are classic tree lined doglegs with fairway bunkers strategically placed in the landing areas and greens which are all slightly elevated and surrounded with large swirling greenside bunkers. The golf course is "player friendly," allowing plenty of room for error but always with an opportunity to recover and get errant shots back into play.
"Every hole must be a hard par and an easy bogey" — Robert Trent Jones Sr
