A new build nestled into the Sonoran Desert on Tucson's Westside. Eight acres of space, silence, and sky, with sunset views and long sightlines toward Saguaro National Park. Built in 2025, this is a property shaped around connection to land, to light, and to the easy rhythm of indoor and outdoor living. Tucked down a long dirt road, arriving home feels like a true retreat. The main residence is 2,373 SF with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, designed for easy daily living and effortless hosting. At the heart of the home, the kitchen island anchors the plan, made for gathering, conversation, and slow mornings that stretch into the afternoon. A separate structure includes a 2-car garage and an 825 SF casita with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and a living area, ideal for guests, creative work, or extended stays. Close enough to feel connected, separate enough to feel like its own hideaway. Both the main house and casita open to covered patios, extending living space into the desert and making the most of Tucson's best seasons. A commitment to performance is evident throughout: insulated walls with ZIP exterior insulation and rainscreen, a 30-year three-layer roof system, triple-pane windows, a 20 SEER HVAC system, high-efficiency hybrid electric water heaters, and a fully insulated garage with its own mini-split. Set near the Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park West, and JTH Tucson, this home offers immediate access to the landscape, miles of hiking, cycling, and riding trails, wide-open horizons, and the kind of quiet you can feel. With a separate casita and generous acreage, it is a natural fit as a primary residence, a multi-generational compound, or a flexible setup for guests and potential income generation. An elevated 9' x 16' pool is an ideal perch for sunset swims and star-filled nights.
