Description

Perched on 4.1 pristine acres in the ocotillo-strewn foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains at the edge of the Coronado National Forest, this 2023 soft-contemporary retreat captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains and valley below. From its elevated vantage point, experience Tucson's iconic sunsets, endless star-filled skies, and sparkling city lights. With clean architectural lines and modern finishes, this private sanctuary is designed as a place to reflect, rejuvenate, and recharge. A long driveway leads to a limestone walkway and covered entry, where a custom contemporary glass front door sets the tone. Inside, a wall of windows frames the uninterrupted views while filling the interiors with natural light. Continued...

The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel double ovens, six-burner gas cooktop with hood, dishwasher, new refrigerator, coffee bar with glass-front cabinetry, sleek straight-set backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and an oversized walk-in pantry.
