Description
Supplements: Set within a highly desirable East Tanque Verde enclave at the picturesque base of the Catalina Mountains, this exceptional estate offers rare privacy on a quiet dead-end street surrounded by desert, abundant wildlife, and sweeping mountain views to the north and east. Located in the gated Melpomene Ranch Estates--an intimate community of just four upscale 3+ acre homes--this 3.3-acre property stretches from Melpomene Way to Catalina Highway and includes a preserved natural wild area with walking paths and seating areas. Enjoy effortless access via well-maintained roads, minutes to shopping, schools, golf, and healthcare, and an unforgettable scenic drive up historic General Hitchcock Highway to Summerhaven and the Mount Lemmon ski area. The single-story, handicap-accessible residence spans approximately 4,165 square feet and is thoughtfully designed with central living spaces flanked by private master and guest wings. High ceilings, expansive picture windows, and top-down/bottom-up Hunter Douglas blinds maximize shaded mountain views while maintaining privacy. The home features zoned HVAC (all units replaced in 2022), extensive recessed lighting, whole-home audio, monitored security, and a fully owned 10kW rooftop solar system that reliably produces more power than the home consumes. A spacious family room with gas fireplace opens to a large, functional kitchen with high-end built-ins, granite counters, RO water, and generous cabinetry, all flowing seamlessly to the fully covered back patio--perfect for shaded outdoor living. The guest wing includes a private ensuite bedroom plus two bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a large laundry room with ample cabinetry, large walk-in pantry, and centralized ethernet hub. The inviting living room features a wet bar, guest bath, and direct patio access, while the dining room accommodates gatherings of up to ten. A versatile office with closet and built-ins offers flexibility. The expansive master suite is a true retreat with sitting area, patio views, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with dedicated toilet room and bidet, plus its own HVAC and hot water system. Outdoors, the fully enclosed backyard offers maintenance-free turf, a gas fireplace seating area, a rebuilt outdoor BBQ with Lynx Professional grill, and a resort-style pool with waterfall, diving board, and spa--updated with new equipment and lighting. A steel safety fence surrounds the pool area, while the covered patio boasts recessed lighting, ceiling fans, storage, and discreet pet access. Completing the property is an oversized three-car garage with workshop, abundant storage, EV charging station, central vacuum, water filtration/softener, and utility systems. RV parking with full water, sewer, and 220V electric hook-up adjacent to garage. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, impeccably maintained desert estate combining refined living, sustainable efficiency, and unmatched mountain serenity.
