Beautifully updated 1973 burnt adobe Southwestern-style home situated on nearly an acre (.967) in Casas Colinas, offering sweeping mountain and city views, dark skies, and a wonderful sense of privacy. Thoughtfully renovated over the years, this distinctive home blends timeless Tucson character with modern comfort. The open, completely remodeled kitchen is complemented by updated bathrooms, Saltillo tile, newer carpeting in the bedrooms, new windows throughout--including sliding doors--fresh interior paint, updated fixtures, ceiling fans, and strategically placed solar tubes that bring natural light where it matters most. Outdoor living is equally inviting, featuring a newer Pebble Tec saltwater pool, low-maintenance artificial turf, mature palms and established landscaping, along with a reconfigured enclosed yard framed by block and corrugated-metal fencing. The two-car garage was substantially rebuilt in 2024 using burnt adobe brick to complement the architectural character of the home. Additional improvements include refreshed burnt adobe exterior finishes, roof-edge repairs, and a 10' x 12' storage shed. With generous land, no HOA, and space that may accommodate an RV and/or future casita (subject to applicable zoning and approvals), this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, views, and authentic Southwestern charm while remaining conveniently connected to Tucson. Ideally located with easy access to Interstate 10, the University of Arizona, Banner-University Medical Center, downtown Tucson, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and major employers including Raytheon, Caterpillar, and Freeport-McMoRan. Restaurants, retail, and everyday conveniences are also within easy reach.
Gates Pass Area, located between Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park West, is a desert and foothills Tucson neighborhood with rugged trailheads and wide-open sunset views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Gates Pass overlook on N Gates Pass Rd, where cyclists, hikers, and photographers gather beside pullouts and stone walls. Homes lean toward low-slung Southwestern forms—stucco, earth tones, shaded patios—set on larger lots that follow the contours of the Tucson Mountains. Dirt roads and dark-sky pockets keep nights quiet and star-forward. Desert Museum and Old Tucson anchor the area’s cultural pull, while trail networks shape daily routines. The landscape reads as saguaro forest, arroyos, and ridgelines, with weathered rock faces framing the drive.
