Organic textures of Western Red Cedar ceilings, Custom Alder Cabinetry. The sprawling living area is anchored by full-wall windows framing breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Rincon silhouettes.

Every major system has been curated for peak performance, including a new Trane HVAC and a full roof renovation, ensuring this masterpiece is as pristine as it is beautiful.
The Compound Lifestyle: Versatility without Limit
Beyond the main estate, the property unfolds into a multi-generational legacy.
The Guest Casita is a mirror image of the main home's character, this independent burnt adobe dwelling features exposed walls, a full kitchen, a spacious bedroom, bath and laundry and a private deck with sweeping mountain views.

A permitted septic system offers even further potential or a future second guest space. Additional outdoor living or entertaining space could easily take life in the space surrounding the barn.
The grounds are vast and meticulously maintained, offering a pergola, multiple patio spaces, an outdoor kitchen area with a Kokomo grill and thoughtful wildlife touches that bring the landscape to life. From the custom metal gates to the easy-care desert landscaping, every inch reflects a commitment to quality.
The sprawling desert compound provides a sanctuary of saguaro-studded privacy, yet maintains effortless proximity to the amenities of East Tucson. Private, but never secluded. Authentic, but never dated.
