On twenty spectacular acres, in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains,at the far end of Cobblestone, Tucson's most prestigious address, a fabulous home that literally springs from the rock. The estate's backyard is the Coronado National Forest and the home sits dominant above the entire Tucson valley below. This magnificent structure is far more than a home - it is a work of art. A monument to human comfort, construction expertise, architectural artistry and high technology.

This is the only private home outside of Tucson's ultra exclusive Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa which offers a membership with the home.

Two and a half years in design, seven years in development - all in an effort to select and locate the precise materials, to utilize the site with the utmost care, to protect the delicate desert environment, and to build the home without compromise.

Truly one of the world's unique homes.

And yet the home elegantly and effortlessly with the landscape. The home seems to have been placed gently in and among the rocks, without disturbing the natural formations or vegetation, an integral part of the land. The very colors of the home's stone and concrete surfaces echo the colors of the cliffs behind. The massive roof planes float independently, hovering over the structure. The blue sky is a perfect backdrop to the sparks of sunlight dancing on the windows, the decks,and the most unique stainless steel roof. You cannot see Campbell Cliffs without wanting to be inside, and to experience its unique form and breathtaking space. Yet being inside is like being outside. The transition is seamless. Ceilings and floors flow through their vertical barriers without hesitation.

One spectacular surprise after another.

You can see forever from practically anywhere in the home. The exterior landscape of cliffs, canyons, city lights, dramatic rock formations and stately Sahauro cacti virtually become part of the interior scene. Form and textures blend until you lose track of where the inside stops and the outside begins. There are almost 6,000 square feet of exterior deck and patio space, further tying the home to its environment.

 More than 31,000 square feet under roof.

You are surprised by the kaleidoscope of textures:

Coconino Sand Stone from Northern Arizona, cut to specs in 80+ pound blocks and installed by a master Vietnamese mason, one of the best in the world; "Step-stone" tile from California; wood ceiling paneling of vertical grain Douglas Fir from the old growth coastal forests of Washington state, and then concrete like you've never seen it before: broken rib, smooth exposed, sand blasted. The natural light flashes through the home from every direction, highlighting free-standing sculpture and bringing ever-changing images to the walls and floors. This is a home with wonderful opportunities to display art and trophies of all kind. Wall space is significant, room height can accommodate the largest of sculptures and open space is virtually limitless. Light filters through 13 skylights onto a 65 foot long art gallery that forms the north walls of the living and dining room areas.

Intelligent,functional and refreshingly dramatic.

A palatial master bedroom wing includes an impressive bedroom and three sitting areas. The views north through a floor to ceiling window look up the canyon to the beginning of time. To the south, the city lights twinkle like precious jewels.

A family or guest level has three bedrooms and three full baths, with spectacular views up the canyon or over the city. The guest suite has a living room and fireplace, decks, patios, sitting room and private gardens.

A luxurious master bath adjacent to the master suite includes his and her lavatories, two person jetted tub, deluge shower with unlimited hot water and custom dual closets. There is endless storage, decks off both north and south sides, and a hidden stairwell up to the private, 600 square foot sundeck.

A main living room has an adjoining exterior living room that overlooks the Tucson valley. Huge glass walls separate interior from exterior. The fireplace literally floats in the center of the room, dividing living from dining. Artwork has its own special place on one wall and the rich tones of the wood-paneled ceiling add a subdued, quiet
pleasure.


The dining room can seat 20, all of whom can be served as well in the cooled adjacent exterior terrace. The serving counter for the dining area is 20 feet long. For a gala event, the house has room enough to seat 300 for a formal sit-down dinner.

The entertainment center covers more than 3,000 square feet. It includes a pool table, sunken bar, full home theater and an audio/video equipment room and control center to serve the entire home. The speakers and television monitor are hidden from view and are revealed electronically upon demand. The fireplace is cantilevered and seems suspended in mid-air. There is floor space enough for a performance by the New York City Ballet, or certainly your own cotillion. The dramatic bar has wine storage for 200 bottles. The adjacent outside patio with its spectacular city views is also cooled.

The kitchen area is well over 1,000 square feet. It is a commercial sized and outfitted facility for serious production, equipped with only the finest names - Gaggenau, Asko, Viking, Scotsman, Sub-Zero and Randall. The kitchen includes preparation areas for baking, cutting, seasoning and roasting. There are salad, dessert and meat preparation areas with infrared warmers, trash compactors, a commercial freezer with a 60 cubic-foot capacity, and a filtered ice-maker. The more than 40 feet of preparation countertops are easy-clean thick granite. The kitchen includes a cookbook library and ample storage for fine china, serving platters, linen, paper and dry goods and all forms of food and supplies. There is a separate, dual dishwashing area and adjacent to the kitchen is a full laundry with a pet care facility.

The breakfast room seats 12 inside or as many as you're likely to want in the exterior breakfast area, an outdoor patio with a Viking BBQ. It is also cooled for comfortable dining.

The office wing includes a master office suite, an adjoining office for support staff and another separate full office, all looking north toward the canyon. There is a fireplace and a complete communications network for both personal and business use. The natural rock formations outside the large window walls have been preserved and the soothing water feature is a delightful touch. You can expect quail, cactus wrens, javelina and perhaps the occasional bobcat to stop by and visit.

The gymnasium has a bathroom, shower, sauna, steam room and locker space. It is housed on two levels accessible from the master bedroom and the pool area and includes more than 750 square feet of space - room enough for every imaginable piece of equipment. There's even an adjoining patio so you can take your workout outside. While you exercise, you may see the bighorn sheep on the canyon slopes

 

The pool area is a marvel of engineering with spectacular views north to the cliffs or south and west to the city. The tile in the pool is a soft cobalt blue, and there is an adjoining spa and outdoor fire pit. The pool deck is hand-set sand-blasted stone finished to reduce heat transfer. There is also an outdoor kitchen, with a Viking BBQ, sink and refrigerator, all perfect for picnics, casual refreshment or full dinners.

The staff quarters
are on two levels. The upper or lower sections could easily be used as additional guest or family quarters. The 2,000+ square feet include two bedrooms, an outside sitting area, and a bath, laundry and storage area on the lower level. Another large bedroom and sitting area, a bath, a kitchen galley and dining area, and living room are on the upper level. The living room has a fireplace with wood storage and a stereo cabinet. There is also a private spa, viewing deck, patio, ample storage and a two-car garage.

A marvel of international high-technology.

An elaborate lightning safety system protects the home from damage.
The roof is stainless steel and the first of its kind in the United States. It uses only fully welded seams and was designed and installed by German engineers. The roof is so impervious to leaks that in Europe,where it is often used on commercial structures, gardens are planted and watered directly on the steel roof. Where the stainless steel appears on the fascia, glass beads shot from high-powered nozzles were used to soften the shine and approximate the color of the adjoining concrete.

The entire home is wired for audio and video reception.There are three home theaters: one a separate and dedicated theater in the large entertainment complex, another in the activity room and one in the master bedroom.

The tennis court was blasted into more than 20 feet of solid rock which now provides a natural windbreak. The court area has an equipment room and a viewing deck.

The impressive lighting system for the home was designed by Walter Spitz of Phoenix, one of the acknowledged experts in the field. It is a computer-controlled system that allows for adjustment of the light ambiance in virtually every room in the house. LiteTouch® controls the more than 1200 lights in the home from a central processing unit. The system also utilizes individual controls found in every room, as well as a great many adjustable, recessed lights which can be aimed to highlight a specific area or work of art. It's a lighting system that's not only versatile and flexible, but also very easy to use.

The HVAC system for all 25,000 square feet under roof is controlled by a computer system designed by Johnson Controls. It is connected to two 25-ton air conditioning central chiller units and utilizes a "4 pipe" system which constantly circulates hot and cold water throughout the home. There are 22 different zones for heating and cooling and the system maintains the temperature at the desired level with no more than a half-degree difference. In order to maintain continuous service under even the most unusual conditions, the HVAC system was designed with built-in redundancy. It is a duplex, three-phase power, commercial grade system that delivers more power at greater efficiency than virtually any residential system. The massive chiller units for the air conditioning system have been placed on special isolation pads in a poured concrete vault. Rubber shocks provide additional sound insulation. It is surprisingly quiet and dramatically responsive.

The home has 8,000 square feet of dual pane, low-e safety glass, some sections of which are 36 feet tall. Many walls of glass move silently on stainless steel rollers, others are stationary. There are more than 600 linear feet of these windows to the world, most floor to ceiling, and they're supplemented by more than 35 skylights and sky holes. They've been tested for weather penetration and wind load. All are breathtakingly impressive.

This is a home that can do virtually anything and be anything you want it to be.

An environment for every imaginable pursuit - impressively comfortable living, royal entertainment, elaborate dinner parties or uncomplicated après-theatre sojourns, recreation (indoor and out), the pursuit of physical fitness on your own terms, private moments and a very public statement of success. This is a rainbow of pleasure, an exclamation of luxury punctuated by high technology convenience and enduring images. And yet, this is a home you can touch and feel, a down-to-earth, even part-of-the earth structure that beckons and invites. In spite of everything it is, it is still a friendly home.


This is beyond unique.

Presented for sale fully furnished with art at $22,000,000.

Previously thought to be named ‘Grand,’ the Mulsanne is said to be inspired by the Bentley 8 Litre of the 1930s and it is set to arrive in showrooms next year as a 2011. Bentley!

Rolex, according to BusinessWeek, is one of the world’s 100 most valuable brands. The Swiss company’s timepieces are almost synonymous with wealth and status, but Rolex is curiously absent from the list of the world’s top ten most expensive watches. That’s why we’ve decided to let you know about the most expensive Rolex watches in the world. The most expensive Rolex ever sold at auction was a “Paul Newman” Rolex Oyster Cosmograph “Daytona” sold at a Sotheby’s event in June, 2003. This prototype wristwatch, featuring a red dial and black sub-dials, was produced in 1979. It sold for £210,000—around US $350,000. Rumors persist regarding a Rolex sold at Selfridges in London for a fantastic price of £8 million—over US $15 million—but they seem to be rumors only.


Most Expensive Champagne in the World

Champagne, a sparkling wine named after the Champagne region of France is the costliest wine to produce. To produce champagne there must be two fermentation processes, with the second step trapping carbon dioxide and making the bubbles. In most of Europe, the name “champagne” is legally protected meaning only the most expensive sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be marketed as champagne. In the United States and other areas, $3 bottles of wine are often labeled champagne. People often drink Champagne as part of a celebration and when celebrating success many feel the need to show off. The most expensive champagnes are more about image than what is in the bottle. Cristal Brut 1990 “Methuselah” $17,625 This six-liter, gold-labeled bottle of Cristal Brut 1990, dubbed the Methuselah, was sold at a Sotheby’s auction in New York to an undisclosed buyer in 2005. At the time, Cristal was a favorite of the hip-hop crowd. Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam $40,000 During the same year, a limited edition bottle of Dom Perignon became the most expensive champagne in the world. Sold in three-liter bottles, the Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam was sold to commemorate the New Year. Much of its price, however, is surely due to the white gold bottle from which the expensive wine takes its name. Pernod-Ricard Perrier-Jouet $50,000 Each of the 100 sets contains twelve bottles of fine, expensive champagne. Marketed only to the ultra-rich, buyers will have the chance personalize their drinking experience by choosing the liqueur used in the champagne—and they’ll have to fly to Eastern France to do so. The sets are being sold to consumers in the United States, Britain, Japan, China, Russia, Switzerland and France. The price even includes a storage nest where the champagne may be allowed to age for up to eight months! Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck $275,000 These hundred year old bottles of Champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne took over eighty years to reach their destination. Shipped to the Russian Imperial family in 1916, a shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused this champagne to be lost at sea until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. Of course, the wine’s extraordinary tale and incredible age are what makes it the world’s most expensive champagne

Most Expensive Wines in the World

The word wine has its root from the ancient Greek word for vines, vinos. Grapevines produces lush grapes which are then fermented to create the popular yet sophisticated alcoholic drink we know as wine. In many areas, the English word wine and its synonyms in different languages are protected by law, as other beverages similar to wine can be produced from fruits, rice, flowers and honey. At the highest end, rare, super-expensive wines are often the costliest item on the menu, and exceptional vintages from the best vineyards may sell for thousands of dollars per bottle. Expensive red wines with their complex subtleties are traditionally more costly than other expensive wines. Here are the most expensive wines in the world. 1992 Screaming Eagle around $80,000 At Auction Napa Valley 2008, a charity event, a lot of six magnums of Screaming Eagle were sold for $500,000. In addition to the wine, the lot included a dinner at the winery. The lucky purchaser was Chase Bailey, an executive at Cisco Systems. 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam $114,614 Sold to an anonymous buyer at a Christie’s auction in 1997, this bottle comes from what is considered by wine enthusiasts to be one of the finest vintages of the 20th century. “Th.J” 1787 Chateau Lafitte $160,000 A bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafitte which sold at Christie’s London in December of 1985, this wine was originally reported to be from the cellar of Thomas Jefferson, the former US President, and this most expensive bottle of wine had the initials Th.J etched into the glass bottle. It made its way into the hands of American tycoon Bill Koch, who became suspicious of the origins of the four bottles he had purchased. Eventually, he instigated the investigation that debunked the supposed origin of what was, at the time of purchase, the most expensive wine in the world. Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck $275,000 These hundred year old bottles of Champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne took over eighty years to reach their destination. Shipped to the Russian Imperial family in 1916, a shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused this champagne to be lost at sea until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. Of course, the wine’s extraordinary tale and incredible age are what makes it the world’s most expensive wine.

 Louis Vuitton’s Tribute Patchwork Bag – $45,000

Most expensive purse - Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag

Louis Vuitton’s Tribute Patchwork Bag, LV’s most expensive handbag, has an even higher retail price. This hideous bag, made in 2007 from fifteen other bags exhumed from LV’s fashion graveyard—their spring/summer and cruise lines, to be exact—actually sold out fairly quickly.

One can only hope that the supply, limited to only twenty-four numbered bags, had more to do with that than high demand.

Hermès “Birkin” – $64,800

World's Most Expensive Purses - Hermès Birkin

While a Hermès “Birkin” bag retails at $37,000 USD, the highest amount paid for one of these bags was $64,800 USD, sold at a Doyle New York auction in April of 2005. This black crocodile-skin features silver hardware, 14-karat white gold closure plates paved with 174 diamonds and an additional 310 diamonds on the lock. The 484 diamonds weigh in at 14.11 carats.

Leiber Precious Rose – $92,000

World's Most Expensive Purses - Leiber Precious Rose

Without a doubt, the most remarkable thing about Judith Leiber’s most expensive handbag is its unique rose shape. There’s a lot more going on with this purse than that, however. It’s lined with metallic kidskin and features 1,016 diamonds (42.56 carats), 1,169 pink sapphires and 800 pink tourmalines. For the purse’s metal components, Leiber used 18-karat white gold. Only one was ever made and it’s no longer available from Leiber’s boutique.

Lana Marks’ Cleopatra Clutch – $100,000

World's Most Expensive Purses - Lana Marks' Cleopatra Clutch

Lana Marks releases just one of these limited edition bags per year. Pictured here is the 2007 bag, made with metallic silver alligator skin and 1,500 fully cut, faceted black and white diamonds set in an 18-karat white gold frame. Each year’s bag is signed and numbered.

Chanel “Diamond Forever” Classic Bag – $261,000

World's Most Expensive Purses - Chanel Diamond Forever

Only thirteen of these pricey Chanel bags were created with only five available stateside. The alligator-skin bags featured clasps set with 334 diamond (3.56 carats) in the shape of Chanel’s trademark double-C logo. Eighteen-karat white gold was used to fashion both the clasp and the bag’s long shoulder straps.

Ginza Tanaka’s purse – $1.9 million

World's most expensive purse
(via CityNews)

The most expensive purse in the world is a unique bag created by Japanese jewelry house Ginza Tanaka. It shouldn’t surprise you that the most expensive purse is covered in diamonds—over 2,000 diamonds totaling 208 carats, in fact—but the bag’s other features make it truly special. For one thing, the rest of the bag is made of platinum, a very difficult metal to work for such a project. For another, the strap and clasp can be detached and worn as a necklace and brooch. It’s almost as if they expect someone to actually use this bag!

The luxurious handbag will be on display in several stores across London during the first ever London Jewellery Week. It’s being offered by jewelry shop Nicholas James for the phenomenal price of £1 million (nearly US $2 million).

What about replica look alike bags, designer inspired purses, watches etc?  There is a huge market especially these days for more value, how about used or pre-owned luxury items for sale?

This six-liter, gold-labeled bottle of Cristal Brut 1990, dubbed the Methuselah, was sold at a Sotheby’s auction in New York to an undisclosed buyer in 2005. At the time, Cristal was a favorite of the hip-hop crowd.

Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam $40,000

During the same year, a limited edition bottle of Dom Perignon became the most expensive champagne in the world. Sold in three-liter bottles, the Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam was sold to commemorate the New Year. Much of its price, however, is surely due to the white gold bottle from which the expensive wine takes its name.

Pernod-Ricard Perrier-Jouet $50,000

Each of the 100 sets contains twelve bottles of fine, expensive champagne. Marketed only to the ultra-rich, buyers will have the chance personalize their drinking experience by choosing the liqueur used in the champagne—and they’ll have to fly to Eastern France to do so. The sets are being sold to consumers in the United States, Britain, Japan, China, Russia, Switzerland and France. The price even includes a storage nest where the champagne may be allowed to age for up to eight months!

Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck $275,000

These hundred year old bottles of Champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne took over eighty years to reach their destination. Shipped to the Russian Imperial family in 1916, a shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused this champagne to be lost at sea until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. Of course, the wine’s extraordinary tale and incredible age are what makes it the world’s most expensive champagne.

Rolex, according to BusinessWeek, is one of the world’s 100 most valuable brands. The Swiss company’s timepieces are almost synonymous with wealth and status, but Rolex is curiously absent from the list of the world’s top ten most expensive watches. That’s why we’ve decided to let you know about the most expensive Rolex watches in the world. The most expensive Rolex ever sold at auction was a “Paul Newman” Rolex Oyster Cosmograph “Daytona” sold at a Sotheby’s event in June, 2003. This prototype wristwatch, featuring a red dial and black sub-dials, was produced in 1979. It sold for £210,000—around US $350,000. Rumors persist regarding a Rolex sold at Selfridges in London for a fantastic price of £8 million—over US $15 million—but they seem to be rumors only.
