Handsome corner detail of the exterior of the Main residence. The Living Room's oversized windows & raised wood decks gracefuly fuse daily experience with unending natural beauty.

The elegant Living Room. To the right (out of view here) is the Dining area & beyond that, the Kitchen. All are in comfortable proximity & ideal for entertaining & daily enjoyment.

The Dining Area. Beyond, through the sliding doors, is one of the several outdoor decks (this one covered). Decks, particularly ones in this special setting, are valued living spaces for much of the year given Sonoita's temperate climate.

Mesquite, Manzanita, Oak, Juniper & a variety of native grasses are among the many native plants that inhabit the property.

Elegant architectural elements--a view of the buildings as one approaches via the auto drive. The double carport is to the right, with a corner of the Main residence in view in the upper left.

Detail of the front Entry with its hand carved (Mexican) wood door & sparkling Sun Room--ideal for relaxing & enjoying the nurturing passive-solar benefits. What cannot be seen here is the intimate courtyard setting in which it sits, anchored by a majestic Oak.

The large covered deck directly off the Dining Area, looking out over the property.

Elevated wood deck directly off the Guest Casita, connecting to the Main house via walkways & patios. Moving through & over the property, the Architect's hand is evident in every sensitive choice & detail.

The Casita's sun-collecting enclosed patio (adjacent to its Living Room) for comfort, light & views.

Courtyard entrance to the Main house; a perfect single example of the many stunning architectural moments one experiences moving through & around the property.

The Kitchen, as seen from the Dining Area. The door to the left leads out to the Dining deck. A galley-styled kitchen with ample room for several cooks, it looks out to the central living areas & to the outdoors through an enormous bay window.

Looking through the Kitchen's bay window, out over the Dining deck & to the natural setting beyond. This looks like a painting; however, this is one of several garden views from the Kitchen!

An aspect of the Living Room, with it's inspired design & intimacy of space.

Absoluely stunning views from the Dining & Living areas. Note the privacy & solitude immediately outside & beyond.

JOI-DE-VIE, SOPHISTICATION & NEW POSSIBILITIES abound here! The spectacular Entry Hall of the Main Residence, with 4 steps up to the Living Areas. 8 more steps take you to the 2nd floor Master Suite. A few steps down leads to the 2nd Bedroom/Office which opens out to patios, gardens & access to the separate Guest Casita. This Entry captures the festive elegance & essence of what one experiences throughout the property.

The glorious Master Bathroom with its double-sink counter/cabinet & lusciously colored Mexican tiles.

The Guest Bathroom. Each of the Bathrooms has Saltillo floors & Mexican tiles & sinks.

The large private Bedroom in the Guest Casita. From the bed, one looks out through a wall of windows to rich habitat beyond.

An aspect of the Master Bedroom. Not seen here are the two walls of windows, or its many extraordinary custom details & touches.

An aspect of the 2nd Bedroom (or Office, if you wish). Out of view to the right is a wall unit with hide-away bed. Architect Cook used this room as his workspace/office in recent years.

The Casita's central Living space. Throughout the property, modernist architecture & regional materials are fused with the Popular Arts of Mexico. Here, the rustic Mexican doors are ajar for full benefit of morning sun.
