A famed Sedona Creekside luxury home with an amazing cantilevered pool and spa overlooking the winding waters of Oak Creek has been listed for $4,500,000 by Karen Dunlap and Rick Wesselhoff, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Sedona office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Once a homestead ranch, the Chavez family split the ranch into various parcels in the 1940s. A little over a decade later, the lot was bought by the famous architect, Mary Colter, who is credited with designing multiple buildings at the Grand Canyon, La Posada Hotel in Winslow, and La Fonda in Santa Fe as well as many Fred Harvey Railroad Properties. Later, Bruce Babbitt, the 16th governor of Arizona and 47th United States secretary of the interior under President Bill Clinton, bought the property. Located at 134 Back O Beyond Circle in Sedona, Ariz., the approximately 3,067-square-foot main log cabin home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and one half bath, and the detached guesthouse has two bedrooms and a three-quarter bathroom.
“In one of Sedona's most exclusive neighborhoods, this legacy property has been owned and beloved by Arizona pedigree,” said Dunlap. “An elite waterfront escape, this two-level main house has been highlighted in more design magazines and TV shows than any other in Sedona.”
With framed views of Cathedral Rock and 176 feet of creek frontage, the luxury "Old Sedona" home showcases Arizona pine timbers with rugged exposed trusses and beams with soaring ceilings of knotty pine tongue and groove. A massive kitchen with river rock accents opens onto an outdoor patio with direct Cathedral Rock views. Other highlights include an original Arizona Schist stone fireplace, reading space, hand-planed walnut flooring, custom gallery lighting and vintage chandeliers. On the lower level, a massive primary suite has a river rock fireplace, ensuite bathroom with a separate tub and shower, walk-in closets and washer and dryer. In addition to the detached cabin casita, there is a separate art studio, office or home gym abutting the two-car garage. Newly remodeled, the backyard has a negative edge pool and spa with private trail access to the shores of Oak Creek.
