3885 Positano Place, Sedona, AZ 86336

Live in the most beautiful place in the US – Sedona, Arizona (US Today Weekend). It offers a fabulous lifestyle. You wake up every morning to the inexhaustible splendor of the red rocks, the tranquil, pristine 1.8 million-acre Coconino National Forest and, if you’re lucky, to the sound of riparian rich Oak Creek. The sun is shining most days and the air and water are clean. You feel good! People are sure to catch “Red Rock Fever” and dream of living here. Sedona is a beautiful retreat from big city life with a sophistication that includes annual favorites like Jazz on the Rocks and the International Film Festival, and it has a thriving artist’s community.

Sedona promotes health and well being and offers simplicity and beauty – two precious commodities these days. It is recognized as a place of healing – one that inspires, refreshes and renews. It has an eclectic population from all over the world where the people are warm and attitudes are friendly. You feel like you live in a National Park yet you are surrounded by great amenities including fine restaurants, world-class resorts and spas, and more than 40 galleries exhibiting a full spectrum of visual arts.

With its four relatively mild seasons, Sedona offers incredible recreational opportunities all year long. It is a playground for every type of enthusiast you can think of, from history to geology, archaeology, outdoor, art and scenery. You can hike, bike, horseback ride, bird watch, golf, play tennis and ride your motorcycle in the famed, red glow of buttes, pinnacles and hoodoos that were 350 million years in the making in Red Rock Country.
