This Prescott, Arizona home offers an unparalleled bird’s eye view. Known as the Falcon Nest, the 124-foot-tall residence is on the market for $1.5 million and includes three bedrooms, four baths, and uninhibited views of the surrounding valley. Designed by Phoenix architect Sukumar Pal in 1994, the 6,200-square foot property utilizes many forms of alternative power to limit the energy consumption of its luxurious amenities, including a hydraulic elevator to transport guests from the garage to the living area.

Though the home is ten stories high, the sixth floor—known as the solarium—is the main attraction, consisting of 2,000 square feet of glass-paneled living space, comprising two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and a common room.

Guests can enjoy 360-degree views of the surrounding scenery, including the San Francisco Peaks 120 miles in the distance, through the solarium’s windowed walls and ceilings. The listing provides some unconventional ideas for the uniquely-shaped pad, including transforming the nest into a luxury bed and breakfast radio tower, or observatory.
