Here at AFM, we are ecstatic about a particular event taking place this weekend. The Designer Showhouse is the culmination of numerous individuals working hand in hand to accomplish a single goal. That goal has been reached and is ready for its inaugural viewing event this weekend. Fret not if busy weekend plans mean you’ll be a no show at this Showhouse viewing, because the continuing event will be taking place throughout April.
The Designer Showhouse 2009 features the work of 25 acclaimed Valley designers and their expressions showcased in an incredible custom home located on Paradise Valley’s Mummy Mountain. The home (which was crafted and designed by Paradise Valley Mountainside Homes) will be open for public tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and 12-4 p.m. on Sundays in April, excluding Easter Sunday.
While the fact that the $20 Million mega estate has literally been carved into a mountain is a cool fact in and of itself, what is even more amazing is that 100 percent of the proceeds from the tours of this palatial dwelling will benefit four outstanding Valley charities. Each tour weekend benefits a different Valley organization, so be sure to support the cause most near and dear to your heart.

To get to the event, park at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa and take the free shuttle transiting from the resort to the Showhouse all day on both days.
