Set on a private ridge in the Tucson Mountains, this architect-designed contemporary home spans 3.3 secluded acres with over 300 mature saguaros and unobstructed views of five mountain ranges. Floor-to-ceiling glass captures sweeping desert vistas from every room. Expansive terraces, pool, spa, and two outdoor gas fire features create effortless indoor-outdoor living. The interior includes a dual chef's kitchen with two dishwashers, dual laundry, a full-floor owner's suite, and a detached media room with whole-home audio and WiFi extending outdoors. For those who want more, approved plans provide a ready option to convert two existing spaces into a third bedroom with ensuite and a dedicated home office or gym, giving the next owner a defined path to expand the home's living program on their own timeline. Built with metal, glass, stone, concrete, and natural wood, this is a rare blend of scale, privacy, and design. No HOA. Minutes to I-10, downtown, and the airport.
Tucson Mountains, located between Saguaro National Park West and Tucson Mountain Park, is a desert and foothills Tucson Mountains neighborhood with wide-open vistas and dark night skies. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kinney Road and Gates Pass Road junction, where trailheads, scenic pullouts, and cyclists set the daily rhythm. Adobe-style homes, ranch properties, and low-slung desert modern builds sit among saguaros and ocotillo, with long driveways and big horizons. Desert Museum and Old Tucson anchor the area’s cultural calendar with wildlife exhibits and film-set history. Gates Pass frames sunset drives, while the Arizona Trail and park loops shape a hike-first lifestyle.
