Perched high above Northeast Tucson in the Tanque Verde Valley, this gated Mediterranean Estate pairs timeless architectural character with an extraordinary hillside setting and sweeping views from Pusch Ridge to the city lights below. Approximately five bedrooms, a casita, resort-style pool, and four-car garage with workshop are set across more… Read More than two private acres of Sonoran Desert, where mature saguaros and the natural landscape create a remarkable sense of privacy and place. Within a small, exclusive hillside community, this Estate was designed to capture a breathtaking panorama--from Vail in the southeast, across the Tucson skyline, to Pusch Ridge in the northwest, with the Santa Catalina Mountains rising directly behind the property. The elevated setting keeps the surrounding Sonoran Desert and far-reaching views at the forefront, creating a sense of seclusion high above the valley. The chef's kitchen is designed for both cooking and entertaining, with a large center island, prep sink, professional-style gas range, double wall ovens, rich stone counters, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. Just beyond, a spectacular glass-wrapped dining nook feels suspended within the Sonoran Desert, with a vaulted natural-wood ceiling, exposed beams, clerestory windows, and walls of glass framing the mountains from nearly every angle. Direct access outdoors extends the space even further, creating an unforgettable setting for morning coffee, intimate dinners, or simply taking in the changing desert light. The home's architectural character continues throughout the main living spaces, where soaring cathedral and beamed ceilings and walls of glass frame the surrounding landscape. A gas fireplace anchors the family room, with direct access to its own patio extending the living space outdoors and showcasing the views beyond. The living room features an elegant wet bar and opens to a separate patio, further enhancing the home's effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own gas fireplace, generous sitting area, and dual walk-in closets. The expansive primary bath features dual vanities, a striking freestanding hammered-metal jetted soaking tub positioned to capture the surrounding views, and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional guest suites in the main residence each feature a private en-suite bath, offering exceptional comfort and privacy for family and overnight guests. A casita adds exceptional flexibility with two bedrooms, a full bath, walk-in closet, fireplace-warmed living area, and kitchenette with a sunny dining nook--ideal for extended family, guests, or use as a private pool house. Outdoor living is where this Estate truly comes into its own. The resort-style pool is framed by mature palms and desert landscaping, with the mountains rising dramatically beyond. A private courtyard, tiered patios, stone stairways, multiple covered outdoor spaces, and intimate gathering areas follow the natural hillside, creating distinct places to dine, entertain, unwind, and take in the surroundings throughout the day. A north-side nook patio provides a secluded setting for dinner under the stars, while the back patio opens to spectacular western sunsets and the glow of Tucson's city lights each evening. During summer monsoons, the sound of rainwater rushing through the gullies below adds yet another dimension to life high above the valley. An oversized four-car garage with dedicated workshop and half bath provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. A flexible bonus room and dedicated laundry add versatility to the home's thoughtfully designed layout. Located within the well-regarded Tanque Verde school district and just a short walk from a trailhead at the end of the street, this Estate offers a rare combination of acreage, elevation, privacy, guest accommodations, resort-style outdoor living, and unobstructed views. From the Santa Catalina Mountains rising behind the property to sweeping western sunsets and Tucson's city lights below, every element of this hillside setting speaks to what makes living in the Tanque Verde Valley so extraordinary. This exceptional offering is proudly represented by the valley's most experienced luxury home marketing team, known for record-setting results across the greater Tucson area and a presentation standard designed specifically for estates of this caliber.
