THE CHÂTEAU AT PIESTEWA PEAK

THE CHÂTEAU AT PIESTEWA PEAK

An Architectural Icon Reimagined as Arizona’s Most Extraordinary Vacation Estate

Perched atop more than 1.5 gated hillside acres of Piestewa Peak, The Château is a landmark residence originally designed by acclaimed Beverly Hills architect Edmund “Ed” Guilbert—a visionary whose work blended Hollywood glamour with sculptural desert modernism. His signature lines, dramatic volumes, and interplay of stone, wood, water and light are on full display here, brought forward into a breathtaking, fully realized retreat spanning 8,000+ square feet with 270-degree views of Downtown Phoenix and the surrounding foothills.

From the moment you ascend the private drive, the estate announces itself as something rare—a multi-level masterpiece of moody hardwood, natural stone, artisan metalwork, and over $1M in curated rare and endangered cactus, palm, and desert plant species, all preserved and showcased with gallery-level intention.

A Grand Arrival

Inside, guests are met with a magazine-worthy entry:
a floating architectural wood staircase, dramatic stone walls, and a serene reflecting pond that anchors the home’s soaring interior landscape. Light spills through expansive windows, pulling your eye out toward the endless horizon of city lights below.

The Interiors — Bespoke, Sculptural, and One-of-a-Kind

The home’s interior program reads like a private boutique resort:

• 6 bedrooms + dedicated pool house (with its own kitchen, living room, bar, bathrooms, and fireplace)
• 8 bathrooms, with 6 full showers, including a Japanese-inspired soaking suite, a vintage gold clawfoot tub, multiple bidets, and stone-wrapped spa bath environments
• Indoor sauna & jacuzzi
• A beautifully engineered single-passenger glass elevator connecting the levels
• Two luxe living rooms, each with curated furnishings and dramatic materials
• A handsome billiards loft with full bar and elevated views
• Residential AND commercial kitchens outfitted with Wolf, Sub-Zero, Viking, and an auxiliary walk-in freezer—ideal for private chefs or event caterers

Every front-facing bedroom, including the primary suite, opens to expansive terraces with sweeping, cinematic city-light views—Phoenix laid out in a glittering panorama below.

Outdoor Living — A Private Mountainside Resort

The exterior is nothing short of extraordinary. Carved into the mountain’s natural contour is a collection of ultra-premium amenities rivaling any luxury resort in the Southwest:

• A 30,000-gallon heated view-terrace pool with serene waterfall, 10 pool loungers, and full panoramic skyline exposure
• A fully appointed pool house with full kitchen, bar, living room, sleeper sofa, 75″ TV, fireplace, plus two bathrooms with showers
• An expansive natural-grass lawn framed by rare cacti and sculpture-like palms
• Multiple fountains and tranquil water features
• Outdoor dining for up to 14, plus additional pub-style gathering spaces
• A sport court featuring two regulation pickleball courts, basketball, outdoor bowling, and tiered seating for spectators
• Additional grilling stations, lounging terraces, and quiet nooks for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails

Architectural Provenance

As highlighted in Forbes, Guilbert’s work was celebrated for:

• Bold structural geometry and sculptural presence
• Seamless blending of modernism with natural hillside terrain
• Dramatic view corridors crafted to amplify both sunrise and city-light panoramas
• Expressive materiality—stone, warm woods, metal, glass—executed with Hollywood-grade craftsmanship

That legacy is not only preserved here—it’s elevated beyond its original vision.

The Château Experience

This is not simply a luxury home; it is an architectural experience, a private mountainside resort, and one of the most recognizable hilltop dwellings in Phoenix—now reimagined exclusively for the discerning Travli guest.

From private chef dinners to corporate retreats, wellness weekends, editorial shoots, or once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, The Château stands in a class entirely on its own.
