A Spaceship-Like Home, Rising From a Mountain in Arizona, Hits the Market for $29 Million

A wildly futuristic home in Arizona that, when built, will protrude from the slope of a rugged desert mountain, has hit the market for $29 million. 

The trophy home is being designed and constructed by architect Ivan Shongov, and will sit “atop the highest view lot in Paradise Valley,” said Mary Jo Santistevan of the Santistevan Group with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties. She has the listing with her husband and colleague, Mike Santistevan.

The sleek abode has been designed with a “commitment to environmental preservation,” and minimizes intrusion on the natural surroundings. It will also be hardly visible from any other property, and will benefit from the seclusion of a gated entrance and a long private driveway, according to the listing. 

“Its high elevation and location provides the residents with unparalleled privacy,” Mike Santistevan said. “The architecture of this property is also on a playing field of its own.” 

The eight-bedroom house will span 16,000 square feet and boast a laundry-list of luxury amenities. It’s set to be completed in 2027, according to the listing.

Plans for the home include a light-filled living room with a statement fireplace and a retractable glass wall; a home theater; a 3,000-bottle wine room; a circular glass elevator; a custom 10-person hot tub; an IT room; a secure safe room; and two guest houses. 

The house will also have an expansive bar; a library; a gym with a sauna and steam room; an eight-car garage; and roof terrace featuring two gazebos and an outside bar.

“It epitomizes exclusive luxury,” Mary Jo Santistevan said.
