Davis, White Shadows stands as one of the desert’s most revered architectural masterpieces in Thunderbird Heights. This Moroccan-influenced villa is a timeless study in elegance and sophistication. Set behind private gates on an elevated acre, the estate boasts panoramic views of the valley floor and surrounding mountains. A sun-drenched courtyard, highlighted by a striking fountain, serves as the home’s dramatic centerpiece, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Flowing Carrera marble extends from the courtyard through expansive living areas and out to the shimmering tiled pool, creating an unparalleled sense of continuity and refinement. The interiors are grand yet intimately connected to their surroundings walls of glass, and exquisite custom details. Notable among them are the walnut-screened doors. T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings collaborated on the home’s distinctive design, adding a layer of artisanal luxury. The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms including two serene guest suites that open directly to the courtyard. A separate three-bedroom guesthouse and a one-bedroom caretaker’s studio provide additional accommodations, perfect for hosting family and friends while ensuring privacy.
