The list price of the house is an estimate of the cost of the fully featured home based on current building costs. Actual cost will depend on systems chosen by the buyer, such as solar and water recovery, options selected, and market conditions. The Bacon House is essentially ready-to-build with a highly qualified general contractor and the best sub-contractors and craftsmen already selected to be overseen by Bacon. Designed by Master of the Southwest Architectural Designer Bob Bacon, the home is the capstone of his storied career. A Bacon curated collection of furnishings is also available separately, as is a Full Golf Membership to the Desert Mountain Club. In addition to the full two-level design, the home is also available at a lower cost in two other configurations. First, as a two-level 9,860 square foot home with the living spaces as illustrated, but without the gallery spaces. Second, as a 6,479 square foot single level, no- step home without the lower-level gallery and living spaces. Inquire for more information. Desert Mountain is an 8,200-acre, mature (thirty-six years old) luxury community in the spectacular High Sonoran Desert on the south-facing slopes of the Continental Mountain range in north Scottsdale, overlooking Phoenix, Scottsdale and the entire Valley of the Sun, about forty minutes to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. An optional Full Golf Membership in the community's widely acclaimed private club, known as The Desert Mountain Club, is available from the seller, through the Club, at the initiation fee set by the Club, currently $165,000. Among many other amenities (outlined below), Club members enjoy the private use of seven golf courses, seven clubhouses, and nine dining venues. Application must be made to and approved by the Club with a thirty-day response time. Currently, the only way to acquire a membership is from a property seller. Otherwise, a prospective Club Member, after purchasing property, will be subject to likely years-long waiting period before being able to enjoy the benefits of membership. The Bacon House at Desert Mountain offers long-range, panoramic views of hundreds of square miles of fabulous Arizona scenery. In addition to Arizona sunsets and several layered mountain ranges to the southwest, a carpet of city lights sparkles across the valley floor at night. Homes have been completed on all adjacent lots so there is no risk of the views from this home changing in the future. The home will be built on lot #107 in a Desert Mountain "village" known as "The Saguaro Forest" for its abundance of naturally occurring giant Saguaro cacti...38 of which are on this lot. The Saguaro Forest is physically the largest village with over 300 homesites and boasts the greatest concentration of Desert Mountain's most expensive homes. Individual owners in Desert Mountain have invested as much as $38,000,000 in homes designed and built for their own use. The buyer of The Bacon House at Desert Mountain can take comfort knowing that they will be living in one of America's most exceptional neighborhoods. The main floor of The Bacon House at Desert Mountain is located 3,201.5' above sea level, about 2,000' above the valley floor, with nighttime temperatures typically 15 to 20 degrees cooler than those recorded at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, affording a comfortable year' round climate. The home's solar orientation and solar-specific design further ensures comfortable outdoor living even in the height of summer when the sun is much higher in the sky and goes down much further to the north. The home's southern exposure is by far the most favored orientation in Desert Mountain, not only because it is the direction of the long-range views, but also because homes with southern exposures are sunnier, brighter and warmer in the winter than homes facing north. Bob calls the design an "Homage to Early Modernism" and describes it as a seminal accomplishment, achieving a balance of open, casual, and spacious modernity, with a welcoming, warm, and intimate ambiance... all superbly arranged to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and all manner of entertaining for a family or for a couple simply wishing to enjoy a quiet retreat immersed in art. The quality of design, coupled with the best of materials and construction quality, extremely advanced home technology, a lush desert setting, panoramic views, and convenient location will render The Bacon House at Desert Mountain a remarkable long-term value for its owner. Complete floor plans and can be found in the Documents section. Design highlights include: an inconspicuous 9' x 18' lift located in one of the two opposing two-car garages to serve the galleries; a carefully crafted progression of tantalizing views, which unfold as one approaches the home, highlighted by arrival through a beautiful Wrightian art-glass entry; a central atrium with nine pivot doors; a large recreation room with wet bar and a 2,000 bottle wine room entered through yet another art glass door; a fabu
