Have you ever dreamed of living high above the city lights - surrounded by a cactus forest, breathtaking mountain vistas, and the serenity of the desert - yet still close to every city convenience? Sometimes dreams really do come true! From the moment you arrive at the community gate, you'll know you've discovered a hidden gem. Follow the scenic drive upward, taking in the sweeping views, until you reach your new home. This meticulously maintained sanctuary sits on 0.81 acre of pristine desert landscape, nestled among majestic saguaro cacti and mature mesquite and palo verde trees, all within the highly acclaimed Catalina Foothills School District. From the L-shaped front courtyard, enjoy stunning views of the Santa Catalina Mountains before stepping into a thoughtfully designed luxury retreat. The solid burnt adobe construction provides excellent insulation and the timeless "Old Pueblo" aesthetic. Inside, classic character blends seamlessly with tasteful modern upgrades. The family room - featuring picture windows perfect for observing mountains, lush vegetation, and local wildlife - offers exposed wooden beams, a natural stone fireplace, custom window treatments (motorized shades), and built in Bose speaker system that create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere ideal for relaxation and intimate gatherings. The living room, dining room, and kitchen impress with Spanish limestone flooring, a cathedral ceiling, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wall of windows showcasing spectacular saguaro and valley views by day and sparkling city lights at night. The spacious kitchen is ideal for cooking and entertaining, with granite countertops and backsplash, a large central island, breakfast bar, solid wood cabinetry, newer GE Profile stainless steel appliances, and an electric cooktop. The expansive primary suite includes a private bathroom with custom stonework in the bath/shower area, a dual-sink granite vanity, a jetted tub, and a custom walk-in closet. A cozy reading nook completes the retreat. All bedrooms offer mountain and/or city views and feature new, high-quality carpet installed in March of this year. The comfortable hall bathroom includes a dual-sink granite vanity and a walk-in shower. The laundry room provides abundant solid wood cabinetry, a stainless steel sink framed by granite countertop, and newer GE washer and dryer. Step outside to an enormous covered patio with unbelievable mountain and city views. Enjoy long evenings on one of several patios, dine by the fountain, relax in the sparkling PebbleTec pool, or simply unwind in the private, quiet backyard oasis surrounded by nature. The pool deck was recoated and the pool pump rebuilt in March 2026. In the same month the 2-car attached garage was upgraded with a new door opener. A newer (built in 2024) detached oversized garage with a workbench/hobby room offers ample space for all your toys. The owned solar system installed in 2023 covers nearly 100% of the property's electricity needs and still has 22 years of warranty left. Natural gas is available in the street. Be sure to review the full list of property improvements available in the Documents section of the listing. Living in this scenic oasis feels like a permanent vacation - yet you're just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, the University of Arizona, Banner University Medical Center, and downtown. Don't miss your chance to own this private piece of paradise!
