Property Description

Welcome to your private desert retreat — a rare sanctuary that perfectly blends the tranquility of the Sonoran Desert with the convenience of city living. Nestled on 1.09 acres surrounded by majestic saguaros and mature mesquite trees, this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bath home spans 3,035 square feet of beautifully designed living space. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the home's natural setting, with endless desert views and the gentle breeze that sweeps through the property. Each sunrise paints the sky with color and captures the beauty of the city below, while evenings bring the peace and quiet of a secluded oasis. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent visits from javelinas, coyotes, bobcats, and even the occasional possum — a true desert experience. Despite its serene setting, the property is just 12 minutes from downtown Tucson, providing the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. You're only minutes away from excellent restaurants, shopping, and the scenic walking trails of the Tucson Mountains  all easily accessible yet comfortably removed from traffic and noise. Inside, every detail reflects thoughtful design and craftsmanship. The home features custom interior paint, a combination of tile and wood flooring throughout, and countless upgrades that elevate both comfort and style. The spacious kitchen is ideal for preparing gourmet meals and entertaining, while the large family and television room creates a warm, inviting space for gatherings with friends and loved ones. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Expansive gathering areas are finished with classic Saltillo tile, complementing the natural desert surroundings. A sparkling pool offers the perfect place to cool off under the Arizona sun, complete with a convenient outdoor shower for quick rinsing after a swim. The covered Ramada provides additional space for outdoor dining or evening relaxation under the stars. This exceptional property offers 3,035 square feet of comfort and sophistication, all set within a private 1.09-acre lot that celebrates the best of desert living. Whether you're seeking tranquility, natural beauty, or space to entertain, this home delivers a lifestyle unlike any other  peaceful, elegant, and distinctly Tucson.
