Unrivaled Hilltop Homesite near Starr Pass approx. +/- 6.7 Acres with Panoramic Views & No HOA. Welcome to one of Tucson's most breathtaking custom home opportunities a rare 6.7-acre hilltop parcel perched above the prestigious Starr Pass resort community. Situated on a historic mining claim, this elevated property offers commanding 360-degree views of the Tucson Mountains, city lights, the Catalina Mountains, and the lush fairways of the JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Course. Importantly, this parcel is located just outside the formal Starr Pass subdivision so there's no HOA, no dues, and no restrictive CC&Rs. This rare independence allows for greater design flexibility, making it ideal for creative or contemporary architectural vision. Located directly across from the JW Marriott Resort and Spa this is the highest available homesite in the entire area. The land is richly studded with iconic saguaros and native desert flora, offering a pristine canvas for a luxury residence or the potential to split and build two homes. Optional resort memberships give access to world-class amenities including spa, golf, dining, and fitness facilities. Bordering more than 60,000 acres of protected parkland in Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park, this site is a haven for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers. While private and peaceful, the property remains just minutes from Downtown Tucson, Mercado San Agustín, the University of Arizona, I-10, the airport, and major employers like Caterpillar, Raytheon, and St. Mary's Hospital. Surrounded by high-end custom homes in a gated luxury enclave, this unique parcel offers the best of both worlds: freedom and flexibility, paired with proximity to one of Tucson's most prestigious resort communities. This is a legacy opportunity that truly stands apart. All utilities are about 765 ft away on Hotel Service Dr. Beware: Old mine shaft onsite. It has been filled in. But Please stay clear anyways. Ask Broker for a marketing package.
Starr Pass, located between Sentinel Peak (A Mountain) and Tucson Mountain Park, is a desert-hillside and resort-adjacent Tucson neighborhood with saguaro-studded slopes and wide-open sunset views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Starr Pass Boulevard and Anklam Road corridor, where golf greens, trailhead traffic, and a quiet, tucked-away feel meet. JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa and the Starr Pass Golf Club act as local anchors for dining, events, and fairway scenery. Homes lean toward stucco Southwestern forms with courtyards and view-facing patios. Streets climb and curve with the terrain, framing ridgelines and washes. Trail networks and scenic drives shape daily rhythms more than storefront blocks.
