About this home
Set on an elevated 2.8-acre homesite in a gated community, this exceptional Tanque Verde Valley estate offers a remarkably private setting, commanding 360-degree views, and resort-style living surrounded by the saguaro-studded foothills of the Catalina Mountains. The property features a nearly 4,000-sq.ft. one-level main residence, an 826-sq.ft. private guest house, beautifully landscaped outdoor living spaces, and an impressive collection of garages and workshop facilities.
The Residence:
A circular driveway leads to the covered entry, framed by stacked-stone columns & a custom wrought-iron screened door. Inside, soaring ceilings, porcelain plank flooring, solid alder doors, and hickory cabinetry reflect timeless desert craftsmanship. Formal living and dining areas transition...continue ... seamlessly into the open kitchen and great room, where beamed ceilings and a two-sided, gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting gathering space.
Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the home opens to a deep covered patio extending the full length of the residence. From here, enjoy sweeping valley, mountain, city-light, and sunset views in complete privacy. Artificial turf provides comfortable space for children and pets, while colorful landscaping creates lush, resort-quality surroundings without excessive maintenance or water use.
A versatile bonus room features a fully equipped wet bar with beverage and wine refrigerators. The space can easily serve as a game room, media room, fitness area, or additional gathering space.
The gourmet kitchen features hickory cabinetry, a center island with breakfast bar and prep sink, and a large skylight that fills the room with natural light. The kitchen sink and breakfast nook are perfectly positioned to capture spectacular sunset and city views.
The split-bedroom floor plan offers generously sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The third bedroom currently combines two original bedrooms and can be divided again. The primary suite includes direct patio access, an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a luxurious bathroom with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a separate shower.
A dedicated office with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, three workstations, two desks, and abundant storage provides an exceptional work-from-home environment. The fully equipped laundry room includes a utility sink and additional cabinetry.
The Guest Residence:
More than a traditional guest house, the private 826-square-foot residence offers comfortable, independent living for extended family, visitors, or a variety of flexible living arrangements. It features a full kitchen with an induction cooktop, convection microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher; an open living area with a gas fireplace; a spacious bedroom and bathroom; and a private washer and dryer. A separate driveway from the south side of the property leads to the guest house and its dedicated garage, providing privacy and independence from the main residence.
Resort-Style Grounds:
The outdoor spaces were designed to embrace the beauty and climate of Southern Arizona. Ideal north/south exposure with views of the Catalina Mountains and the Rincon Mountains to the north and east, and city and sunset views to the south and west. Enjoy vibrant desert landscaping, multiple patios, brilliant sunsets, sparkling city lights, and dark, star-filled skies--all within the privacy of an elevated homesite. New ground-mounted solar panels are discreetly positioned away from the residence, improving efficiency without compromising the home's roofline or appearance.
Garages and Workshop:
The property has up to 13 garage spaces divided amongst the various buildings. The main residence includes an oversized three-car garage, while the guest residence has its own dedicated garage. A separate, temperature-controlled 1,249-square-foot workshop offers professional-grade functionality with a 10,000-pound two-post lift, aluminum diamond-plate wall protection, custom cabinetry, a sink, dedicated bathroom, and built-in workstation.
The 1,608-square-foot, steel-constructed RV garage, accessed by a separate, dedicated driveway, measures approximately 28 by 52 feet and features 16-foot ceilings, a 14-foot door, 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service. Its substantial size provides exceptional flexibility for RVs, boats, trailers, automotive collections, storage, or recreational use.
Location and Lifestyle:
Located among estate-sized parcels in gated Estrella Vista Estates, the property offers seclusion without isolation. Coronado National Forest, Agua Caliente Regional Park, Redington Pass, and Mount Lemmon are nearby, offering convenient access to hiking, biking, horseback riding, and outdoor recreation.
Shopping, grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, breweries, and neighborhood gathering places are approximately 10 minutes away. Local favorites include The Barnyard, Bear Canyon Pizza, and Tanque Verde Guest Ranch. Downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona are approximately 35 minutes from the property.
Schools:
The home is located within the highly regarded Tanque Verde Unified School District and is convenient to several public, charter, and private schools. Nearby options include Hermosa Montessori, Desert Christian, St. Michael's, Castlehill Country Day School, St. Cyril's, BASIS, and Leman Academy of Excellence.
Recent Improvements:
Recent upgrades enhance the home's efficiency, comfort, and longevity. Improvements include a tile roof and underlayment replacement in 2023, lifetime RhinoShield ceramic exterior paint for enhanced heat rejection, newly installed ground-mounted solar panels, and two high-efficiency 19-SEER HVAC systems installed in 2022.
This distinctive Tanque Verde Valley estate brings together a beautifully appointed main residence, private guest accommodations, resort-style outdoor living, extraordinary views, and exceptional garage and workshop space--all within a secluded gated community....
