$10,500,000

The Desert Retreat is an architectural masterpiece tucked away within the exclusive gates of Canyon Ranch in Tucson, AZ, showcasing a rare international collaboration between G & M Design of Monaco and Bart Reines of Miami. Brilliant minds and expert skills created this truly one-of-a-kind experience, blending quiet sophistication and… Read More elegance with the artful desert landscape. Meticulous attention to detail is shown throughout the residence, grounds, and private spa, all perfectly positioned on a 1.4-acre lot to maximize both views and privacy. Built to commercial standards with masonry construction, the contemporary lines with vertical and horizontal layers playfully interact with the organic shapes of the surrounding cacti. Intentionally, there is no clear path to the main entry; instead, a stroll through nature leads to a stately entrance, creating a beautiful contrast and a sense of discovery. Stepping inside evokes a feeling of awe, yet there is an intrinsic calmness as every design element was purposefully selected to create a holistic and harmonious experience. Italian slab granite underfoot grounds the space, seamlessly connecting to the stone cladding on doors, cabinetry, and trim work. Thoughtfully placed throughout the home, a signature piece of custom artwork has been laser etched into the floors, while walls of oversized glass provide visual pathways to the landscape and natural separation between rooms. Every functional element is hidden from the eye, including venting, speakers, window coverings, power, and lighting controls, ensuring nothing interrupts the aesthetic. Designed with four suites, each guest has an entirely private sanctuary appointed with custom furnishings, seagrass flooring, generous closets, and spa-like baths with views of the garden or mountains. Each suite may be independently controlled for light, temperature, and sound to ensure absolute comfort. Both grand in scale and surroundings, the salon showcases an interplay of neutral tones with layers of greenery outside. The indoors and outdoors unite in this magnificent space with floor-to-ceiling glass and cascading doors that disappear into the surrounding walls. While large groups are easily accommodated here, there are endless opportunities to create intimate settings as well. Stepping outdoors, a world of tranquility is found within grounds blanketed in perfectly placed specimens of cacti, yucca, and grasses that create a botanical garden-like setting. Sitting above Sabino Creek with exposure to the Rincon, Catalina, and Santa Rita Mountains provides a unique environment both in terms of natural beauty and habitat. Low-lying giant Cottonwood trees and Mesquite bosques reside in contrast with the elevated saguaro, offering quiet moments for meditation, birdwatching, or reflection. A soul-soothing escape is found at the property's private pool and spa, nestled into the topography to feel cocooned while maintaining open sightlines to the mountains. Pebbles sourced from riverbeds and beaches of Southeast Asia blanket the pool and deck, providing both a soothing aesthetic and reflexology benefit. Steps away, the wellness journey continues in a stand-alone spa building built to the standards of a 5-star resort, including an outdoor shower, steam room, and massage room. Each space was meticulously crafted to envelop the senses. This lifestyle is further enhanced by the amenities of the world-class Canyon Ranch Resort. Owners and their guests enjoy access to incredible facilities and an array of daily activities that include movement, mindfulness, and well-being. This is only the beginning, as the resort's experts include top professionals in medicine, nutrition, performance, longevity, and spirituality, ensuring each day can be a unique journey. Read Less
