The story
A truly unique Scottsdale retreat, located in the Rio Verde Foothills! Original concept, design, and build by 180 Degrees Design + Build in 2017, this distinctive loft-style property combines modern industrial design, highest-quality craftsmanship, and an incredible surrounding all-native Sonoran Desert landscape on its 1.2 acres. The home features an eye-catching rusted, non-galvanized steel exterior design, with solid wood interior doors and windows, and Windsor wood interior and durable metal exteriors on entry doors and windows. Thoughtful construction includes compressed cellulose wall insulation within all walls, especially the 8''-10'' exterior wall thicknesses. The open loft-style design (only 3 main rooms) is complemented by two spacious walk-in porcelain-tile showers (one with 5 square floorspace and frameless glass wall), custom shower details, Hansgrohe fixtures throughout, and other beautifully appointed features. Step outside to experience endless 360-degree views of the Sonoran Desert and surrounding mountains, both from the patio as well as from the 625 sqft. roof-top terrace above the separate 2025-built, 90% steel open-air constructed 2-car garage - an incredible setting for morning coffee, entertaining, stargazing, and unforgettable Arizona sunrises and sunsets. Separated (breezeway), private entrance, guest quarters - under the same roof - feature a bedroom and bath, providing exceptional flexibility. Use it as comfortable accommodations for family and guests, a private home office or entertainment space, or additional living space. It also offers the potential for separate short-term rental/AirBnB use, while keeping the main residence completely private, subject to applicable regulations and requirements. Adjacent the guest accommodations, a separate room offers a versatile workshop/storage area, ideal for hobbies, equipment, recreational gear, or special projects. The main residence features a 2017 Trane HVAC system, while the guest quarters are equipped with a separate 2017 mini-split. Water is sourced through EPCOR, with a 2,800-gallon water storage tank, replenished through "hauled-water" suppliers or self-hauling, adding convenience and peace of mind. The property also features a private septic system. The 1.2 acres offers abundant all-native Sonoran Desert vegetation - including three very large/old Saguaros, two beautifully large Mesquite, and too-many-to-count mature Palo Verde - all of which attract native wildlife (including mule deer, rabbits, hawks, etc.). There is plenty of room to add a pool, outdoor entertaining areas, and custom landscaping; this property offers endless possibilities for creating a one-of-a-kind Scottsdale home or vacation retreat. Distinctive architecture, breathtaking desert and mountain views, private guest quarters, workshop, generous storage, and exceptional outdoor potential make 14019 E Sand Flower Dr a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty and privacy of the Arizona desert. As well, with the conscientious home design and build, and native vegetation landscape, the property provides exceptionally low maintenance/upkeep.
