Why buyers keep coming back to this one

Set on Mt. Helix, this home was designed to sit into the hillside, with a sweeping roofline and walls of glass facing the canyon. Inside, a cathedral ceiling lifts over the living room, with a fireplace at its center and a remodeled, vaulted kitchen just beyond. The primary suite opens to canyon views and a private spa. Outside, a pool, sun deck, fire pit, and gazebo sit inside gardens built for privacy. Solar is paid off, and the garage has room for two cars plus RV parking.

From the listing: “Helix, this John Mortenson original was designed to integrate into the landscape, with a sweeping roofline, deep overhangs, and walls of glass framing the canyon beyond. Step inside and the space soars.”
