About this House

A truly spectacular blend of authentic desert contemporary design and sophisticated modern architecture set on a magical 6.5 acre saguaro studded lot backing to the National Forest. Originally built in 1961 with natural stone quarried from the property, the current stewards of this timeless beauty embarked on a journey to transform and recreate this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home into a true desert modern masterpiece with none other than Mike Franks, master builder with La Quinta Homes. Armed with exquisite good taste, a dream design team and a healthy budget, the end result is nothing short of amazing. As you enter the private gates and meander up the winding driveway, you are greeted by the most beautiful desert landscaping you've ever seen! The grounds were perfected by Tom Black with Plants of Distinction and showcase some of the most exotic cacti and desert flora which accent the home with vibrant color year round. Natural stone and glass walls are complemented by the use of wood flooring throughout and tongue and groove wood ceilings creating an organic and earthy ambiance. The fusion of the homes simplicity and understated elegance makes for an entertainer's paradise with an open floorplan capturing views from
every window and opening on to deep covered verandas and flagstone patios. To enhance its timeless appeal while preserving its original charm, the property underwent further upgrades in 2021 to include the addition of an art studio/guest house that is unrivaled in Tucson! The natural stone, glass and rusted metal façade blend seamlessly with the main house & features a European designed kitchen, a stunning bathroom w/ handcrafted Zellige tile walls, concrete floors and a workspace that would inspire anyone with its abundant natural light and glass walls that incorporate the beauty of the desert into its modern design. The original stone pool house was also converted to a 1 bed/1 bath guest house that can also serve as a private home office or yoga studio overlooking the pool, beautiful grounds, a new stone Ramada w/fireplace and the dramatic Catalina Mountains & Pima Canyon towering above. With views like this, working from home will prove difficult as your eyes will be drawn to nature and the peaceful surroundings this property affords. Spanning 5,076 sq.ft, the main house features 3 bedrooms & 3 luxurious bathrooms, w/floor to ceiling windows framing views of the city lights and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The use of organic
materials creates a seamless connection to the surrounding desert
landscape and the design provides flexible living spaces for guests or creative endeavors. The primary bedroom suite with a private reading area w/fireplace & patio, large walk in closet, sauna and spa like bathroom, embodies comfort and sophistication with a romantic flair. The gourmet kitchen w/honed stone counters, top of the line appliances and large island will leave you speechless, especially after seeing the views from the kitchen sink. The fusion of natural elements and top of the line designer details makes this one of the most beautiful and distinctive homes ever to be offered in Tucson! With its convenient Foothills location - 5 min to Whole Foods or La Encantada, and a stone's throw from Pima Canyon Trailhead, this is truly a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tucson's finest real estate.

    "I really enjoy living here. It is the closet thing to rural living without any of the inconveniences. Homes are on very large lots -- several acres, and all are low built to blend in with the desert which is mature, with all types of birds, coyotes, javelinas, bobcats, lots of various lizards including Gila Monsters. Never saw a rattle snake but we do have king and gopher snakes. We have added over 250 golden barrels and numerous agaves, trees and shrubs. Beautiful view of Catalinas to the north and A mountain to the south. Neighborhood has no street lights or sidewalks. House is on a cul de sac with a lower drive so not as obvious from road. Quiet and dark, excellent star viewing and 15 different hiking walks thru the washes. Best of all,easy,really easy access to numerous good medical facilities, the U of A and downtown. A real gem in the desert. "
