Abstract: A boulder-built desert home in Scottsdale, Arizona, has hit the market for $3.315 million.

The four-bedroom adobe-style home is located in The Boulders Resort, and the 6,629-square-foot interior is studded with actual boulders.


Stacy Paluscio, listing agent for Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, says, "First and foremost, this property is unique in that its adobe structure was designed by architect Bill Tull."


There aren't many properties like this. Another notable feature is its location in the Manor section of The Boulders. It sits high above the community and is surrounded by a golf course.

"At the entrance, there are two huge boulders that have been incorporated into the design of the home, so you feel like you're really connected to the outdoors," Paluscio says. It's a wonderful way to bring the outdoor landscape inside.


The property, known as La Casa Sobre La Laguna (which translates to "the house on the creek"), sits on an acre of land with views of the mountains, the golf course and the boulders, as well as some interesting wildlife.


"The property also has a great connection to nature; there's an abundance of wildlife, including lizards, bobcats and javelinas," says Palucio, referring to the wild boar species. It feels like you're in a nature reserve. If you're a wildlife enthusiast, this place will be very interesting.

Another cool feature is the ability to see through the floor to the creek below the house.


Paluccio says, "There's also a man-made desert stream that runs under the house." You can look down from the walkway and den area and see bobcats roaming below through the glass tiles in the floor.


The open floor plan boasts nine wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windows and numerous outdoor entertaining areas.

The cosy dining area with fireplace has direct access to the outdoor patio.


The master suite has arched doorways, exposed beam ceilings and a fireplace surrounded by glass windows that capture the stunning views. The suite has two bathrooms, a gym and an office.

Outside, the infinity pool, spa or wrap-around terrace are ideal for enjoying spectacular Sonora sunsets. The property also features two private guest bedrooms and a four-car garage.


Paluccio predicts, "The next buyer is likely to be an adobe home enthusiast who wants a home with distinctive architecture while still enjoying a romantic and artistic lifestyle."


It may be used as a second or third home, but it could also be a primary residence.The Boulders attracts avid golfers, outdoor enthusiasts, and hikers who like to enjoy the great outdoors.
