Description

Situated within the prestigious Pima Canyon Estates and secured behind the private secondary gates of Pima Gardens, this exceptional residence exemplifies proportion, restraint, and enduring elegance. Set on one of the most sought after lots within Pima Canyon, this 3.75 acre property offers complete privacy while backing directly to the protected expanse of the Coronado National Forest. Stucco volumes are complemented by stone cladding that anchors the home within its desert setting. Arrival unfolds through a generous motor court, where an oversized 4 bay garage and guest parking establish intentional scale. A gated courtyard entry offers a quiet moment of pause, setting the tone for the seamless transition from exterior to interior.

Supplements: Inside, a soaring foyer introduces the home with measured drama. Emerson Oak oiled hardwood floors paired with large format tile form a cohesive foundation throughout the primary living spaces. North and south exposures draw in soft natural light through expansive Fleetwood glass doors and floor to ceiling walls of glass, framing unobstructed Saguaro studded Catalina Mountain and Pima Canyon views, establishing an immediate connection to the surrounding landscape. As evening falls, southern vistas reveal distant city lights, adding atmosphere to the home's elevated setting. The formal living room balances refined entertaining with comfort, centered on a striking stone clad fireplace creating a warm focal point. Beyond, informal living areas flow naturally into the kitchen, fostering a harmonious open concept. The kitchen is both a visual centerpiece and high performance workspace, with natural stone countertops finished in Mont Blanc Satin Quartzite defining the kitchen perimeter, waterfall island, breakfast nook, and butlers pantry, paired with custom cabinetry and fully integrated Viking appliances. The media center features a motorized wood paneled roll down that elegantly conceals the articulating television when not in use, preserving the room's design purity while allowing effortless reveal on demand. The primary suite occupies the eastern wing, designed with bespoke cabinetry, soft natural finishes, and architectural clarity. The primary bath is appointed in Taj Mahal Satin Quartzite, creating a calm, spa-like retreat. Two additional ensuite bedrooms, finished with Ijen Blue Satin Quartzite in select baths, two den/office spaces, and a guest powder room are thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flow. A dedicated dog wash room, designed as a spa retreat for your four legged companions and finished in durable yet refined quartz surfaces, is fully appointed for effortless grooming, ensuring that even the most discerning pooch enjoys a moment of refinement and pampering. The west wing introduces a fully autonomous guest suite, seamlessly integrated yet completely independent. This private wing features a living room, full kitchen finished with custom millwork and Mont Blanc Satin Quartzite, bedroom, bath, walk-in closet, and dedicated laundry room. Its private patio captures mountain silhouettes and sunset views, ideal for extended stays or multigenerational living. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow effortlessly, with rooms spilling onto shaded verandas. The backyard extends as an open air living area with clean lines, expansive patios, a resort inspired pool, and spa, all set against the desert landscape. Adjacent, a built-in barbecue and seating area invite relaxed entertaining, framed by a perimeter wall, hardscapes and soft turf accents, allowing the natural surroundings to remain the focus. From this coveted Foothills location, hiking and biking trails, La Paloma Country Club, La Encantada, and the shops and restaurants of Casas Adobes are only moments away, placing the best of Tucson living effortlessly within reach.
