10 Reasons Why Luxury Real Estate Buyers Choose Sedona


According to members of Sedona Luxury Real Estate Professionals (SLREP), luxury home buyer sare finding their dream homes in Sedona. Top reasons for buying in Sedona include:

1. Views
Sedona, named the most beautiful place in America by USA Weekend Annual Travel Report, is known world-over for its awe-inspiring landscape of crimson peaks and whimsical red-rock formations. Sedona luxury homes frame this beauty, capturing spectacular views—often from several different angles.

2. Privacy
Many luxury Sedona homes back up to the Coconino National Forest, providing privacy and assuring continued open space. Even if they do not back up to forest land or wilderness areas, Sedona’s exclusive properties are situated in off-the-beaten path locations and gated communities and along the pristine waters of Oak Creek.

3.Quality construction
Sedona luxury real estate meets buyers’ expectations for high quality construction and top-of-the-line appointments and finishes — from plaster walls to granite and marble surfaces. According to SLREP, buyers definitely notice details and know the top manufacturers.

4. Gourmet kitchens
High-end appliances, like Dacor,Thermador, Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele, are not only expected but delivered in Sedona’s professional-caliber kitchens. High-quality surfaces, materials and amenities are the norm.

5. Cutting-edge bathrooms
Sedona high-end homes offer cutting-edge bathrooms, featuring multiple shower heads, body sprays, seating areas, sumptuous soaking or jetted tubs and steam showers.

6. Light, open layout
The Southwest, synonymous with wide open vistas, is reflected in Sedona homes with grand open spaces (Great Rooms), plenty of natural light and a comfortable flow in many original one-of-a kind designs.

7. Southwestern style
The Southwestern style of building, which features stucco and stone exteriors and interiors with rugged natural materials (such as wood, iron and stone), tall ceilings and lots of windows, continues to be popular in Sedona. High-end buyers favor either the clean lines of contemporary Southwestern design or the Western “hacienda” style, which offers a casual alternative to the high-stress demands of urban living.

8. Indoor/outdoor living
Because Sedona features a mild climate most of the year, many homes feature comfortable outdoor living areas for maximum enjoyment of Sedona’s beautiful outdoors. According to SLREP members, in high-end homes outdoor kitchens are nearly as well appointed as indoor kitchens.

9.Health benefits
In addition to the homes themselves, Sedona is its own attraction, offering excellent air and water quality, many fitness options, including world-class hiking, golfing, tennis and mountain biking, and a stress-free lifestyle. For those needing medical attention, the Sedona area hosts excellent medical facilities, including many specialized options, such as The Heart Center at the Verde Valley Medical Center(VVMC) in Cottonwood and The Cancer Center at the VVMC
Sedona Campus.

10. Investment
Even at a time when the nation as a whole is experiencing a cooling-off period in real estate property investment, Sedona continues to hold its ground.
