“one of a kind home that you will not find anywhere else”
Good to know this home won’t be roaming around by its own free will. That’s a Camelback Mountain centerfold shot you see from the backyard, Mummy Mountain is waving back at you from the front. This location is PV’s G-spot, the G standing for “Gorgeous” of course as the mountains have you surrounded. This listing informs us that every window in the home was “designed to capture views”, which suggests they used a clear glass window instead of brick. Smart! The property feels larger than its petite 1.15 Acre frame, thanks to its southern neighbor, the Conventual Church of our Lady of the Angels Franciscan Renewal Center. It’s a Friar’s Club for actual Friars! Grab your rope belt and a robe, God’s house sits on 20 acres, and he’s your next-door neighbor.
Originally known as the “Kachina Lodge” dude ranch, the Renewal Center is older than the town of Paradise Valley it now resides in. Franciscan Friars bought the ranch in 1951, renaming it “Casa da Paz Y Bien”, which means “House of the Unbreakable Habits”. Today more than 133,000 visits are made to the center every year, which makes it the largest emotional baggage claim zone in the valley. You enjoy dramatic views living next door to a fountain of spiritual joy, healing, and forgiveness, where everyone is dressed like Little John. You can’t put a price on that! But they will accept donations.

“this home will be move-in ready for some buyers”
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning for lower standards! “Some Buyers”? Some Buyers!?! That’s a heck of a unique sales pitch. Some of you will see this as home sweet home, while others will recognize this dumpy fixer is possibly salvageable. What everyone should see here is THE BEST DEAL IN SEDONA, and it’s not a contest. This 2.5 Acre lot is worth the list price. Period. There happens to be a house sitting on top of it.
The home’s interior has suffered more questionable choices than a New York Jets draft, with a beauty so rare it’s impossible to find. This is oddness wrapped in an enigma. But let’s be honest, weirdness is simply community branding in Sedona. This is the land of Chakra Tours, Medicine Wheel Ceremonies, Herb Walks, Full Moon Past Life Reunions, Vortex Hypnotherapy Stick Massages, where if you can dream it, some hippy with a tie-dyed soul and a pink Jeep will find a way to charge you for it. Sedona is the most beautiful spot on planet earth. Such beauty overwhelms the senses, including common sense.
So if your frail grasp of logic is more pliable than Stretch Armstrong in a Navajo Sweat Lodge, then grab your animal totem, wrap it in a dream catcher, lube it up with essential oils, scratch your crystal balls, and tune your aura to a spiritual frequency set to STUN, because this is the deal of the century….whichever century your past life metaphysical spirit animal hails from.

“The organic, indoor-outdoor living experience”
Nothing says “organic” quite like concrete. This environmentally respectful Shawshank Redemption residence claims to make you feel like you’re outside when you’re inside, and inside when you’re outside, because you are disoriented, possibly from the waterboarding as there is a distinct Abu Ghraib vibe to this chunk o’ bunker. Part of me expects to find Desmond running a treadmill in the Dharma Initiative Hatch, entering numbers into the computer every 108 minutes…
Yes, the “Lost” references are half off today.
You cannot find a better building buddy system than concrete and steel when the task is preventing Arizona’s harshest climate changes from making an in-home visit. We love this architectural style. Materials matter. But remember earlier today when we found windows “designed to capture views”. That line made zero sense at the time. Saying a window is designed to capture a view is like saying the floors have the ability to catch steps. This is their job.
But not in this house. Here we find windows so tall Shaq would need a pogo stick to see them, alternating to windows that rise from underground then stop 2 feet above surface level.
“Who’s at the door?”
I can’t see, but they’re wearing Skechers!
A window for your feet? Just a long strip of wall hole down there so you can enjoy the drip system views? Peter Dinklage has to duck to Windex these things.
Floor to ankle glass. That thing we did not know we did not need.
Weekend Freeway Travel Advisory
Westbound 101 – CLOSED – Route 51 to Cave Creek RD
Da West Side I-10 – CLOSED – Verrado Way to Route 85 (Goodyear)….Ok technically this freeway is being narrowed to one lane each direction. That’s nightmare fuel. Avoid it.
Enjoy your weekend! Make it a great day! Let’s go Brandon!
