The impressive adobe perimeter wall and striking Cor-Ten steel entry gate do more than impress, they create a natural sound barrier that filters out city traffic and street noise, surrounding the property in a private oasis. The sculpted front yard features towering saguaros, native desert boulders, and a thoughtfully designed flood basin landscape that channels rainwater directly to the plantings.A low-maintenance, sustainable Sonoran desert masterpiece that sets the tone for everything inside. For the Airbnb Investor: This home was practically designed for short-term rental success.

Dual access points on both sides of the property allow for seamless, independent guest entry -- no awkward shared spaces, just a smooth, professional hosting experience. The Pebbletec pool with waterfall feature and lush tropical backyard and the large gravel side yard with full RV hookups adds a second income stream -- rent the RV space separately and let the property pay for itself.

Two skylights bring natural light into the most intimate spaces, while mature trees, flowering hedges, and a covered patio frame a backyard that feels like a private resort. The detached stucco workshop with full electricity and a security-gated entry round out a property that is as functional as it is beautiful. Historic charm. Modern upgrades. Income potential. Privacy you can feel. This is not just a home -- it's a lifestyle and an investment in one.
