Description

A truly spectacular blend of authentic desert contemporary design and sophisticated modern architecture set on a magical 6.5 acre saguaro studded lot backing to the National Forest. Originally built in 1961 with natural stone quarried from the property, the current stewards of this timeless beauty embarked on a journey to transform and recreate this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home into a true desert modern masterpiece with none other than Mike Franks, master builder with La Quinta Homes. Armed with exquisite good taste, a dream design team and a healthy budget, the end result is nothing short of amazing. As you enter the private gates and meander up the winding driveway, you are greeted by the most beautiful desert landscaping you've ever seen! The grounds were perfected by Tom Black

Supplements: with Plants of Distinction and showcase some of the most exotic cacti and desert flora which accent the home with vibrant color year round. Natural stone and glass walls are complemented by the use of wood flooring throughout and tongue and groove wood ceilings creating an organic and earthy ambiance. The fusion of the homes simplicity and understated elegance makes for an entertainer's paradise with an open floorplan capturing views from every window and opening on to deep covered verandas and flagstone patios. To enhance its timeless appeal while preserving its original charm, the property underwent further upgrades in 2021 to include the addition of an art studio/guest house that is unrivaled in Tucson!

The original stone pool house was also converted to a 1 bed/1 bath guest house that can also serve as a private home office or yoga studio overlooking the pool, beautiful grounds, a new stone Ramada w/fireplace and the dramatic Catalina Mountains & Pima Canyon towering above. With views like this, working from home will prove difficult as your eyes will be drawn to nature and the peaceful surroundings this property affords.
