Supplements: Discover desert living at its finest in this prestigious gated community of The Preserve III at Dove Mountain. Thoughtfully designed to blend modern elegance with the natural beauty of its surroundings, this home offers an exceptional floor plan that feels far larger than its square footage, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Greeted by an impressive custom steel front door with an interior opening glass panel, one steps into a sprawling open-concept layout. The expansive great room serves as the heart of the home, offering versatile layout options for relaxation or gatherings. Adjacent, a bonus living area off the gourmet kitchen provides additional space for a formal dining area or cozy lounge. With easy flow around the island, this is really a 2 or even 3-person-at-a-time kitchen, featuring slab granite counters, a sink in the island, and a highly functional work triangle connecting with the cooktop and refrigerator and pantry. An eat-in kitchen space comfortably accommodates a circular or rectangular table for eight or even ten, ideal for casual meals or dinner parties. The split bedroom floor plan ensures privacy and functionality. The luxurious primary suite, tucked away in the southeast corner, gets morning light (and sheltered from afternoon heat), and enjoys mountain views through its large window... and offers direct access to the covered travertine patio. The en-suite bathroom is a spa-like retreat with dual vanities, a separate shower, a large soaking tub, a separate WC, and a deep walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms, the office, and the guest bath are all connected by a separate hallway, and feel well away from the primary. Between bedrooms 2 and 3 are a well-appointed hall bathroom with dual sinks and a separate shower/WC room and an office/den with double doors, making a great space for leaving open as an occasional den/activity/craft room, or well-suited for closing up when it's time to get to work and take calls as an office. Additional highlights include a large laundry room off the kitchen with upper cabinets and space for extra storage or pantry shelves, and a spacious 3-car garage for vehicles and gear, with a connected water softener to help ease the wear on pipes and bath fixtures. Backing to a never-to-be-developed natural area, the home ensures privacy with no rear neighbors. The east-facing backyard is an entertainer's paradise, featuring a long covered travertine patio with a built-in gas grill, over 750sqft of low-maintenance play turf, and a firepit centered on a 12-foot diameter travertine sitting circle the perfect spot to watch the mountains glow with vibrant colors at sunset. The northeast orientation shields the patio and yard from the harsh afternoon sun in the hot seasons, offering a respite to enjoy views of both the Tortolita Mountains to the north and Pusch Ridge and the Santa Catalinas to the east. The Preserve III community is thoughtfully designed around protected natural spaces, with nature trails winding through the neighborhood and connecting to the broader Tortolita Mountain trail network for endless hiking and biking adventures. A community park less than a mile away offers a basketball court, playground, and open field space for recreation. This Dove Mountain retreat combines luxury, privacy, and embraces the stunning natural landscape that makes southern Arizona so unique.
