Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind custom estate nestled on 3.31 acres of horse-zoned Sonoran Desert in Northwest Tucson. Elevated to capture breathtaking Catalina Mountain and city-light views, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of privacy, expansive acreage, resort-style amenities, and convenient access to the city.
Built in 1995, this approximately 3,218-square-foot frame-stucco Southwestern home has been thoughtfully updated with contemporary finishes while maintaining its distinctive desert character. The airy, open-concept interior features abundant natural light, skylights, soaring ceilings and spacious formal living and dining areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The split-bedroom floor plan provides excellent privacy, with the spacious primary suite conveniently located on the main level.
The primary retreat features a luxurious soaking tub, walk-in shower, oversized closet, and direct access to the patio. The beautifully updated kitchen offers custom cabinetry, ample storage, granite countertops, black stainless-steel GE appliances, and a large center island that serves as the heart of the home.
Upstairs, a spacious loft provides additional living space along with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and two private balconies. The west-facing balcony captures spectacular Sonoran Desert sunsets, while the east-facing balcony showcases stunning mountain views and a unique evening display as the Catalina Mountains glow red in the setting sun. Both balconies offer an incredible vantage point for taking in Tucson's spectacular star-filled night skies.
Outdoor living is truly exceptional. The resort-style backyard features a heated pool and spa, enclosed pool and ramada area, extended patios, citrus trees, and expansive views of the surrounding desert landscape. The property is also frequented by an impressive variety of native wildlife, including owls, deer, javelina, bobcats, and more, creating the feeling of your own private nature preserve.
For those seeking space for vehicles, recreational equipment, or an equestrian lifestyle, the property offers a spacious three-car garage with storage, a detached RV carport, and a detached storage shed. The horse-zoned acreage provides room to enjoy the freedom and possibilities that come with owning an expansive desert property.
Located on the west side of Northwest Tucson, the home offers a peaceful desert retreat while remaining conveniently accessible to major shopping destinations and Interstate 10.
This is more than a home--it is a private desert estate offering spectacular views, abundant wildlife, indoor-outdoor living, resort-style amenities, horse-zoned acreage, and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in Tucson.
