At 8,200 feet -- an hour from Tucson -- the air changes. When the city is sitting in the triple digits, it's in the 70s here: windows open, no AC, cool nights and quiet mornings. Tucked at the end of a private dead-end lane, this fully furnished custom mountain home is one of Mt. Lemmon's signature properties. The lane closes in a circular turnaround, and a colored concrete driveway gives family and guests plenty of room to pull in. Inside, 3,581 sq. ft. rises under soaring vaulted ceilings, with walls of windows framing panoramic views and wraparound decks that carry the living space outdoors. The chef's kitchen with granite counters is built for a crowd. A pellet stove and gas fireplace warm the winters, and the primary suite's jetted spa tub is exactly where you want to land... after a day on the ski hill. Modern furnishings throughout convey -- walk in and it's done. Five bedrooms and three baths, plus a loft with a queen Murphy bed and its own closet for a sixth sleeping space. The lower level adds a kitchenette and lives as a separate wing -- ideal for teenagers and their friends, or for visiting family who want their own space. That flexibility, paired with the bedroom count and oversized kitchen, also makes this an unusually strong candidate for vacation rental or Airbnb income between stays. Outside, lush natural landscape and terraced gardens thrive on the mountain's own terms, supported by large water storage fed by the gutter system. Built to live up here year-round: steel shingle roof and whole-house generator. At $321 per square foot -- fully furnished and turnkey -- it's priced well under anything comparable currently offered on the mountain and without an HOA. A primary residence, a summer escape, or a legacy property for generations to come.
