Within a small, exclusive hillside community, this Estate was designed to capture a breathtaking panorama--from Vail in the southeast, across the Tucson skyline, to Pusch Ridge in the northwest, with the Santa Catalina Mountains rising directly behind the property.

The chef's kitchen is designed for both cooking and entertaining, with a large center island, prep sink, professional-style gas range, double wall ovens, rich stone counters, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry.

A casita adds exceptional flexibility with two bedrooms, a full bath, walk-in closet, fireplace-warmed living area, and kitchenette with a sunny dining nook--ideal for extended family, guests, or use as a private pool house. Outdoor living is where this Estate truly comes into its own. The resort-style pool is framed by mature palms and desert landscaping, with the mountains rising dramatically beyond. A private courtyard, tiered patios, stone stairways, multiple covered outdoor spaces, and intimate gathering areas follow the natural hillside, creating distinct places to dine, entertain, unwind, and take in the surroundings throughout the day. A north-side nook patio provides a secluded setting for dinner under the stars, while the back patio opens to spectacular western sunsets and the glow of Tucson's city lights each evening.

An oversized four-car garage with dedicated workshop and half bath provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. A flexible bonus room and dedicated laundry add versatility to the home's thoughtfully designed layout. Located within the well-regarded Tanque Verde school district and just a short walk from a trailhead at the end of the street, this Estate offers a rare combination of acreage, elevation, privacy, guest accommodations, resort-style outdoor living, and unobstructed views.
