Designed by renowned architect Kevin Howard and completed in 2018, this exceptional contemporary residence is privately situated on a 1.25-acre homesite within the secondary gates of Pima Canyon, one of Tucson's most sought-after guard-gated communities. Framed by sweeping Catalina Mountain views and surrounded by mature saguaros and native desert landscape, the property offers a rare combination of architectural significance, privacy, and modern luxury.
Spanning approximately 5,805 square feet, the single-level floor plan features five ensuite bedrooms, expansive living spaces, soaring 16-foot ceilings, and walls of glass that capture the surrounding mountain vistas while filling the home with natural light. A dramatic Victory Metal Works iron and glass entry door establishes an immediate connection to the desert setting and introduces the home's sophisticated contemporary design.
The formal living and dining rooms were designed for both everyday living and refined entertaining, anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile fireplace. Large-format porcelain flooring, exposed wood beams, motorized window coverings, and 8-foot alder doors throughout reflect the home's exceptional level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
At the heart of the residence, the chef's kitchen combines functionality with designer finishes. Custom cabinetry offers extensive storage and organization, complemented by Calcutta and Fossil Gray quartz countertops, a Marrakesh porcelain tile backsplash, a fireclay apron-front sink, oversized center island, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Premium Bertazzoni Professional Series appliances include a 48-inch six-burner gas range and dual 36-inch French door refrigerator/freezer, creating an ideal environment for both casual meals and large-scale entertaining.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, distinguished by rich hickory plank flooring, exposed wood beam ceilings, a secluded patio overlooking the desert landscape and Catalina Mountains, and a spa-inspired bath finished with floor-to-ceiling marble surfaces. Additional features include a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower with multiple shower heads, dual vanities with Cashmere Carrera quartz countertops, a dedicated makeup vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet with integrated washer and dryer. Four additional ensuite guest bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations for family and visitors.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. The resort-style backyard was thoughtfully designed to embrace Tucson's year-round climate, featuring expansive patios, multiple lounging areas, a sparkling pool and spa with spillway, professionally designed desert landscaping, natural boulder accents, artificial turf, and unobstructed Catalina Mountain views. Remote controlled sun screens enhance comfort throughout the outdoor living areas, creating inviting spaces for both relaxation and entertaining.
A consistent commitment to care and maintenance is evident throughout the residence. Three Trane HVAC systems service the home, providing efficient, zoned climate control, complemented by an owned solar photovoltaic system that enhances long-term energy efficiency. Additional highlights include a 1,493-square-foot four-car garage with extensive built-in cabinetry, a brick cobblestone driveway, and exterior enhancements such as repainting and a full roof re-coating completed in September 2025.
Combining award-winning architecture, contemporary design, premium construction, and breathtaking Catalina Mountain views, this remarkable Pima Canyon residence represents a rare opportunity within one of Southern Arizona's premier luxury communities.
