  • Description
    Architectural Masterpiece in Thunderbird Heights. Set high above the desert floor, behind the gates of coveted Thunderbird Heights, this rare modern estate is a study in vision, privacy, and timeless design. Conceived by architects Ira Johnson, AIA, and George Ritter, AIA proteges of modernist icon William Cody the residence is a masterful 1970s reinterpretation of Cody's desert modernism, executed with precision and restraint. Spanning approximately 4,700 square feet, the home is defined by steel beam trusses, expansive walls of glass, and luminous white mud brick an architectural language that feels both grounded and ethereal. Thoughtfully composed sight lines frame sweeping 360 degree panoramas, from the Santa Rosa Mountains to the desert valley and city lights beyond. Each bedroom suite enjoys its own immersive view, creating a deeply private, resort like experience. At the heart of the home, an expansive open living space unfolds beneath soaring ceilings, where floor to ceiling glass dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. Light, landscape, and architecture converge in a serene, almost meditative flow equal parts gallery and sanctuary. Set on over half an acre, the grounds are lush, mature, and impeccably curated, offering a quiet counterpoint to the dramatic elevation and views. This is not simply a residence it is a private compound, designed for those who understand architecture as art. A rare opportunity to acquire a singular work of desert modernism elevated, authentic, and quietly iconic.
