Description

DRAMATIC CLIFFSIDE ESTATE Just six miles from Moab City center, nestled into the rocks, one with the slickrock fins, engulfed in the extreme landscape, a rarity to be discovered. This surreal setting is one to rival the National Parks. Majestically perched at an elevation of 4,865 feet, this stunning home rises above the Moab Valley yet becomes one with the landscape around it. Perched cliff-side, the 6.5 acres are unlike any other property available. Navajo Heights is an eighty acre, gated subdivision of merely 11 private parcels, located above the Moab Golf Club at the edge of Mill Creek Canyon. Within the subdivision lays a protected ancient Native American site with beautiful petroglyph panels, and even more ancient dinosaur tracks. You have the very best of the glorious spectacle of Moab around you - the lush green vista of Spanish Valley, the snow-capped peaks of the La Sals calling you to weekend adventure, the rugged red of the Moab Rim providing the perfect backdrop as the setting sun travels the horizon between sky and rock, the slickrock fins that soar around your home and lure you to quiet walks and peaceful moments. Meticulously constructed in 1996 by Hillis and Tuft, and completely remodeled by Tuft and Tuft in 2017, the astounding home is perfectly integrated into the sandstone rocks that surround it. Luxury, drama, sleek design, impeccable quality, artistry, and a sense of welcome are the hallmarks of the gracious home. The intersection of elegant architecture and celebration of the natural world is prevalent throughout, with curved lines, dramatic viewscapes through walls of windows, gorgeous wood and stone, even magnificent walls of sandstone rock. The sweeping main floor of the home features both an elegant, formal entryway and separate, exceptional mud room space for residents' transition from adventure to home. The Great Room features sandstone rock walls and looks out over Mill Creek Canyon below; a breathtaking panorama highlighted by the chic design of the space. The oversized dining area offers the perfect setting for social gatherings or quiet evenings alike. The ultra modern kitchen awaits the professional or dedicated amateur chef with gorgeous living edge granite countertops and backsplash; the workspace is highlighted by the Dacor range and hood, Miele steamer over, Bosch diswasher, and Sub Zero refrigerator. There is an incredible pantry area with sandstone walls, an amazing space with abundant storage and a bonus deep freeze. There are two large storage rooms located on the main floor, including a large safe room with ventilation system. The writer, philosopher, or telecommuter is beautifully served by the amazing office on this level of the home, although the patio and viewscapes just outside your door will undoubtedly tempt you away from your desk. The spacious "mother in law" apartment suite creates an ideal setting for independence and togetherness, whether enjoyed by loved ones, visiting relations, or treasured helpers. This bright, open suite is well designed with a spacious bath, laundry area, sitting room with sandstone wall, perfect kitchen, and a large bedroom loft with bonus sitting area. The suite features entrance points to the home on both levels, ensuring peace of mind and ease of daily life. The curved walnut central staircase, finished with intimate artisan detail, at the heart of the home brings you to the upper level, with a dramatic family room overlooking the space below and featuring the sandstone rock of the cliff surrounding you. There are distinct wings to the upper level, with the open central space providing a dramatic contrast to the solid sandstone rock featured throughout. One charming guest bedroom includes a private den, perched just so to enjoy views toward both the rocks and the canyon. There is an elegant full bath, and two additional large bedrooms whose bedframes are crafted into the sandstone cliffs, an extraordinary detail. Sweep back across the open core o
