Eddie Jones Contemporary Desert Retreat

A work of art by renowned architect, Eddie Jones, and known in the community as “The Dirt House”, this 6,800 SF, single level residential compound sits gently on a 10-acre Sonoran Desert site, with striking vistas and privacy. The home’s various functions were spread among several buildings in order to preserve the existing stands of Palo Verde trees, saguaro cactus and natural drainage patterns.  This superb contemporary home is composed with a palette of rich, authentic materials – rammed earth walls, expanses of glass sheltered by large overhangs and patios, metal roof, smooth polished concrete floors, maple and cherry cabinetry, and silver leaf ceiling panels. Expansive home includes a large master suite, three guest bedroom suites with baths, a library, separate guest house, self-contained in-laws quarters, work-out room with sauna, and an 8-car air-conditioned garage (2,723sf). This is truly a modern day significant work of architecture and a masterpiece of design, space, light and detail.

Asking price as of April 10, 2012 is $4,995,000.
