About this home
Perched high above the city within the prestigious 24/7 guard-gated community of Pima Canyon Estates, Framed by the Santa Catalina Mountains and Tucson's legendary dark skies, this architecturally distinctive desert retreat blends timeless masonry, privacy, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Arrival is quietly dramatic, beginning with a discreet motor court, porte-cochere, exposed concrete walkways, and a custom steel-and-glass entry anchored in stacked stone. Inside, the desert does not disappear--it becomes the view. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass draw the Catalinas into everyday living, while travertine floors flow through an open plan designed for both relaxed living and effortless entertaining. Thoughtful North/South orientation, a whole-house water filtration system, reverse osmosis, Sonos, three Rheem/Ruud 14-SEER HVAC units replaced between 2021 and 2023 with upgraded 4-inch filtration, and privately owned solar panels deliver exceptional comfort and efficiency, with an average electric bill of approximately $35 per month. A 930-square-foot three-car garage includes an EV charging station.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen serves as a natural gathering space, appointed with Mont Blanc quartzite countertops, a seamless integrated backsplash, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and Visual Comfort lighting. French doors open to a veranda courtyard, where city lights and mountain silhouettes create an unforgettable backdrop for sunset dinners and evening conversation.
The private single-level primary wing is positioned for sweeping Catalina views and complete privacy, and includes an electric fireplace along with an adjoining meditation or bonus room. The spa-inspired bath offers dual vanities, a generous walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub designed for true retreat.
On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms feature renovated en-suite baths and share a private living area, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A substantial fourth bedroom is perfectly suited for a dedicated home office.
Outdoors, the architecture continues with a pool replastered in 2021, along with a replaced gas heater, LED pool light, and Pentair ScreenLogic control system. An elevated spa, putting green, and spiral staircase leading to a private view deck create a true desert retreat--your front-row seat to Tucson's color-washed sunsets and star-filled nights. A separate veranda with a trickling fountain offers yet another quiet, restorative corner of the grounds.
More than a home with views, this is a sustainable, secure, and refined desert retreat built around privacy, architectural character, and the very best of Sonoran Desert living....
