Property Description
This midcentury modern home stands as a rare fusion of architecture, artistry, and soul, and is artfully called the House of Stone and Light. Originally built in 1961, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and infused with the tranquil essence of Shangri-La, this residence blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and history into one timeless masterpiece. Set on over one-third acre at the end of a cul-de-sac, this property embraces Red Rock vistas and gorgeous sunsets while remaining close to hiking and biking trails, and minutes from the bustle, galleries, and charm of West Sedona. With no Hoa, opportunities truly present themselves at this architectural gem including 2 separate buildings. Main four-bedroom residence with 2 bathrooms is a delight at 1,762 sq. ft., and has been extensively remodeled from 1998 through 2025, with every surface touched and thoughtfully renewed. Designed to live in harmony with its surroundings, some of the upgrades include dual-pane high-E Andersen windows, solid Alder doors, solar tubes, French doors and sliders that spill out onto back yard cement stained patios, flagstone pathways, trellised iron rusted gates, and whimsical artistry and includes two outbuildings! Wow! Exterior main home boasts a unique horizontal Bric Brac patterned flagstone, and pine soffits highlighting the meticulous design including 2 circular chimney sphere dotted with metal art work, all beneath a corrugated Corten steel roof accented by hand-wrapped Corten gutters. The main living area is stunning boasting wood beamed ceilings, with the exterior flagstone work following through into a full wall to wall flagstone wall framing a wood burning insert feature, built-in stone shelving, with the sacred Thunderbird symbol craved into the stone work, anchoring the room with artistic resonance. That symbol or the kachina is found on the stone exterior and rock walls too! Open concept main living area features a kitchen with a Wolf range, handcrafted maple cabinetry with a center island, topped with volcanic Corian countertops flecked with natural red minerals, a farmhouse-style Kohler undermount sink, walk-in pantry, updated stainless-steel appliancesincluding the refrigerator, washer, and dishwasher replaced in 2025, and a breakfast high counter top make the kitchen as practical as it is beautiful. Every corner celebrates artisan craftsmanship and historic soul:
" Custom exterior iron quail gates hand-forged by a Utah beekeeper
" Guest deep soaking claw and ball bathtub reclaimed from a Missouri farm
" Front door with oval green glass salvaged from an english maritime ship
" 400-year-old Wisconsin maple floors reclaimed from the Grand Canyon's historic gymnasium
" Bunk house loft ladder is a fruit picking ladder repurposed from a Northern California orchard
The separate 535 sq. ft. heated and cooled Adobe-style bunkhouse/workshop/garage is a sustainable showpiece built from hay, mud, and clay and reinforced with spray-foam insulation. Inside are concrete floors, plastered walls, a small kitchenette, with butcher block counters, ½ bath and an outdoor private shower blending artistry, utility, and whimsy. Sustainability and comfort shine throughout with 10 solar panels (installed 2018) providing the whole house and shop electricity, three 220V outlets, mini-split systems added in 2025, dual hot water heaters, including gas for the main home and electric for the shop. Lets not forget the tongue and groove ceilings, stained glass window, or the various niches and nooks. Backyard paradise boasts sustainability with a a 600-gallon rain barrel, raised garden beds, and 35-40 native plants and trees nurture a living desert landscape. 192 square foot, Tree house storage building is crafted with hot box heating/cooling concept including double walls and roof, finished with copper and bamboo walls, corrugated metal, and Douglas fir tongue and groove ceilings, offers a serene haven for creativity, an art studio or meditation. Lovingly owned for 26 years by stewards devoted to sustainability, nature, and design, this home is steeped in history and artisan craftsmanship. With no HOA, endless charm, and a connection to both nature and community, the House of Stone and Light is more than a home it is a living sculpture, a spiritual dwelling, and truly a gem of gems in Sedona's architectural landscape.
