Perched on over an acre on one of Tucson's most breathtaking view lots, this exceptional Westside retreat captures the true beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Nestled against the rugged ridgelines of the Tucson Mountains, this gated property offers unobstructed panoramic views stretching across three mountain ranges, sparkling city lights, and endless desert horizons. Every window was thoughtfully positioned to frame the surrounding natural beauty, creating a living experience where the views become part of the home itself. The turnkey main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and warm architectural character throughout, including stunning tongue-and-groove ceilings in the dining area, a welcoming wet bar in the living room, and an inviting floorplan designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living. The spacious guest bedroom includes a built-in Murphy bed and private patio access, offering flexibility for guests, work, or multigenerational living. A detached office/studio space provides the perfect setting for a creative retreat, home office, gym, or flex space. Step outside to experience resort-style desert living at its finest. The elevated pool overlooks sweeping mountain and city views, while expansive covered patios, a large front porch, and winding walking paths throughout the property create endless spaces to relax, entertain, and take in Tucson's unforgettable sunsets. The oversized 2-car garage includes a substantial storage room with plumbing already in place, offering incredible potential for expansion or customization. Located just minutes from downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation, this rare desert sanctuary combines privacy, convenience, and some of the most dramatic scenery Tucson has to offer.
