Property Description
Now offered as a fully furnished Airbnb investment property, The Macabre Mansion of Sonoita is a rare, instantly recognizable estate with attention to match. Featured on Zillow's Gone Wild, Realtor.com, and AZ Central, this unapologetically gothic residence has captivated audiences with its cinematic architecture and unforgettable Arizona wine-country setting. Set on a hilltop lot spanning four private acres, 92 Cayuse Trail commands sweeping 360° views of Sonoita's rolling grasslands, open desert skies, and mountain horizons. The residence offers 3,994 sq. ft. of living space, plus a 1,069 sq. ft. finished basement and a 1,622 sq. ft. attached indoor pool area--an exceptional composition of living, entertaining, and guest-ready space. The dramatic charcoal-brick façade, arched windows, soaring vaulted ceilings, and exposed brick interiors create a refined, atmospheric backdrop. A towering stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the split-level floor plan balances expansive gathering areas with intimate retreats. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath layout includes a secluded primary suite with vaulted ceilings, panoramic views, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and dual vanities. Recently renovated bathrooms, a new roof, and upgraded HVAC with mini-splits in every room bring substantial modern comfort and peace of mind. The attached indoor pool and cabana area offer year-round enjoyment and a true destination amenity. The finished basement once used as a recording studio adds another layer of creative history and future flexibility. Minutes from Sonoita's acclaimed vineyards, tasting rooms, and open-country charm, this is more than a home; it is an experience. Offered furnished and ready for its next chapter, The Macabre Mansion presents a singular opportunity to own a celebrated property designed to be remembered and prepared to welcome guests from near and far. All showings must be scheduled privately with the listing agent between Airbnb guest stays.
