PRE-FORECLOSURE. ORIG. LIST $8.9MM Ensconced on a 12-acre parcel amid the natural beauty of the High Sonoran Desert is the 6,700-square-foot single-level organic sculptural masterpiece known as Sage Shadows. From its radiant-heated nag stone floors to its terrapin stone hearth fireplaces to its snail-shell showers sheathed in Peruvian river rock, every curve was contemplated, every view was considered years before any construction ever took place. Featuring a media room, a professional chef's kitchen, and a great room-style living area leading out to tiered patios and a cantilevered, negative-edge pool and spa designed for entertaining, Sage Shadows is a perfect meld of stone, steel, and glass-it's a home worthy of a legacy.

Fit for celebrity or a very private lifestyle, this organic contemporary residence brings together sophisticated design with everyday living. Indoor/outdoor concepts blend soft lines with ethnic undertones creating a serene natural setting of imported stone contrasting with walnut-stained ribbon mahogany cabinetry and stainless accents. The kitchen is one-of-a-kind with butterfly slab backplash and island, exotic Wenge wood slab counter, and the finest stainless steel cabinetry designed by Julian s. The flooring is Nag Indian slate and the walls a crisp white with architectural features such as eyebrow arches and an atrium hallway with clerestory windows. The office is stately and doubles as a media room with hidden pop-down projector and speaker system. See supplement....
