Property Description

A Botanical Refuge in the Foothills of the Tucson Mountains. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind desert sanctuary where luxury meets ecological harmony. Nestled in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains and perched above the protected Sweetwater Preserve, this custom-designed estate offers 360-degree unobstructed views, more than $430,000 in curated upgrades, and a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, sustainability, and tranquility. Crafted with intention and elegance, the main residence features premium finishes, floor-to-ceiling glass that captures sweeping desert and mountain vistas, and seamless indoor-outdoor living that blurs the line between home and habitat. Each sunrise and sunset becomes a private spectacle from nearly every room. Next, step into the expansive outdoor retreat with an oversized patio leading to a resort-style heated pool and spa with upgraded shell-bit plaster.

Currently being utilized as an Art studio the 1,000 sq ft guest house offers a private 1 bed, 1 bath residence complete with its own patioperfect for guests, extended family, or luxury rental potential. Tucked between the main residence and guest house is a thoughtfully designed courtyard, centered around a sustainable graywater system that collects runoff from the guest house to nourish nearby treesan elegant and efficient solution that reduces irrigation needs while supporting a thriving desert ecosystem.The surrounding landscape has been carefully shaped into a refuge of restoration for both people and wildlife. When the studio was constructed in 2018, every cactus within the building footprintincluding numerous young saguaroswas meticulously hand-dug and transplanted to other areas of the property. One such saguaro now stands proudly on the pool deck, a living symbol of the home's commitment to stewardship and renewal.Today, the yard has evolved into a vibrant desert habitat, alive with the movement of native birds, butterflies, bees, and pollinatorsoffering a rare blend of ecological integrity and personal sanctuary.This is much more than just a homeit's a living sanctuary where luxury and sustainability live in harmony, where every sunrise brings inspiration, and every sunset whispers peace.
