$16,500,000

Tranquility and beauty await you at Avenida del Sol.

A front courtyard wall creates a sense of mystery from the street. Through the gate, the mortar-washed stone walls and mature trees envelope you in privacy.

The setting sun filters through mature olive trees. Tumbled limestone floor feels cool underfoot. The stucco color is a custom blend, designed to give a clean aesthetic during the day, and warms softly like the glow of candlelight during late afternoon and through dusk.

Meant to delight the senses, the calming sound of water flowing through custom brass spouts, crafted to look like antique fountain spouts with bucket hooks. An old-growth Ironwood tree salvaged from the desert grounds the entry courtyard. Natural stone walls and limestone path lend a casual elegance to the architecture.and the flicker of gas lanterns are just a few of the custom touches throughout the property.

The vision behind Avenida del Sol was to create a space that invites you to slow down, unplug and savor life in the desert. This is a property meant to be experienced in person, though we hope you enjoy the pictures. :)

A light-filled and inspiring space with reclaimed wood ceiling beams, selected for their history; taken from a midwest barn dating back at least a century.

A custom system of 10-foot pivot doors topped by transom windows opens to the backyard. Limestone floor runs seamlessly from indoors to out.

Curated items give a sense of soul to the home - like this salvaged limestone trough, originally 18-feet long, repurposed as a floating hearth. A subtle plaster treatment on the fireplace offers an organic texture.

The same custom pivot system as the living room opens seamlessly from the dining room to the front courtyard. Handwoven shades of the custom light fixture float above the dining table and sway with the breeze when the pivot doors are open.

White oak cabinetry, a plaster range hood echoing the shape of the grand fireplace and natural stone countertops offer a natural, timeless aesthetic.

A wall of glass pockets fully to open the kitchen to the covered back patio - where a comfortable seating area near a large gas fireplace offers views of the pool and distant olive tree grove.

A breakfast bar with a deep countertop designed to be a working space. Dornbracht fixtures add a touch of sleek glamour against a hand-formed terra cotta tile backsplash.

Double dishwashers in the island and an ice maker and dishwasher drawer in the breakfast bar. 60-inch dual fuel range.

Don't forget to peek inside the tall cabinets of the breakfast bar to see the same tile continued at the back. A thoughtful touch designed merely to evoke a smile.

Full-sized fridge, dishwasher and wall ovens along with custom white oak shelves that frame beautiful Tabarka tile on the backsplash.

Two full-sized washers and dryers, a DryAway system and charming workspace - along with plenty of storage in a delightfully-designed laundry room. Tabarka tile backsplash and living brass faucet add character - just like the antique doors (not pictured) that frame the opening to this space.

An oversized "flex" space envelops you in organic elegance - from the plastered walls to the extra-large skylight that washes the walls in ever-changing light. Three ensuite bedrooms are nearby - making this room a great spot for kids to play, or perhaps as a TV room or even a second living space.

A limestone trough from the 1700's deliberately chosen to stand out in this space. It's edges softened by years of use. A custom brass faucet affixed to a wall of matte terra cotta Tabarka tile. A one of a kind antique mirror framed by uncoated brass sconces.

A soothing neutral palette of earthy plaster, natural wood and the most beautiful antique doors (not pictured) - this room is so pretty, it's hard to actually get work done. A private courtyard outside the 10-foot tall sliding doors beckons you to take a break and daydream.

A calming space with organic elements: Beams sourced for their character add warmth and history to the room. Natural stone, hand-selected for variation and views out to the backyard and Mummy Mountain beyond.

A see-through fireplace clad in mortar-washed stone offers just a peek into a private courtyard attached to a wellness area.

The entire space is done in Tadelakt - a microcement often done in the Mediterranean region of Europe and the Middle East. A Waterworks soaking tub and Samuel Heath fixtures in Urban Brass: uncoated to allow for patina with time.

An outdoor plunge tub, plumbed with a chiller as well as a heater - for cold or hot water therapy.

A private courtyard, off the owner's suite, with access to the plunge tub outside of the owner's bath.

A 900-sqft casita, with its own 1-car garage. Complete with kitchenette, living area, bathroom and bedroom. Stackable laundry in the closet. The view of Mummy Mountain from the casita is incredible.

Full-sized SubZero appliances and real stone countertops elevate the space, which opens to the pool. For scale, the slider is 10-feet tall.

With its own private, 10' custom pivot door entry as well as a single car garage.

Wake up to a view of the gorgeous pool with beautifully-landscaped grounds beyond. A view of Mummy Mountain framed in the sliding glass door may make you want to relax in bed just a bit longer. With stackable laundry in the walk-in closet.

Demurely placed at the casita's north end, an exposed brass outdoor shower is meant to patina with time. Organically-shaped towel hooks from Bocce are a fun splurge in this space.

A discreet pool bath located in the shadow of the roof deck stairs means no wet feet inside the house. Catch a daily dose of Vitamin D while watching the sunlight play across the face of Mummy Mountain.

Grilling outside for a dining experience in the olive grove may be your new favorite way to "go out for dinner."

Pea gravel, mature olive trees and a table set for friends.

An old-growth Ironwood tree with its gnarled, architectural trunk is now framed beautifully by this new construction.

An extra-long pool fully done in PebbleFina for an authentic, plastered look. This is the finest finish made by PebbleTech for an ultra-smooth and durable texture underfoot.

Directed to deliberately design the entire lot to be useful and beautiful, The Green Room's architects crafted the retention areas to be multi-purpose. Ensure you save some time on your tour to go discover the discreet fire pit area in the rear corner of the yard.

This peaceful enclave gives your mind a chance to renew. The sounds of birds, of breeze in the trees and the ease of desert living will delight you in this space, for years to come.
