Description

This one of a kind desert retreat, situated on 3.2 acres, is a study in thoughtful integration, defined by a regional vernacular that accents textures and the rich patina that echoes the hues of the surrounding desert landscapes. The property consists of 3 independent structures; a 4,123 sq ft Main House, 1,358 sq ft Guest House, and an additional 615 sq ft Guest House, with two garages incorporating five bays, all centered around a central courtyard that allows its owner to capture the dramatic desert light, while providing unobstructed views of the Catalina Mountains beyond. A private entry sequence, edged by lush native vegetation and shaded by mature mesquite trees, provides ample parking for guests without detracting from the understated elegance of the property.

Low-profile landscaping subtly accentuates the architecture, guiding visitors toward the main entry in a seamless transition from public to private spaces. The interior features a carefully curated palette of materials that enhance a sense of place, with polished concrete floors, offering thermal massing that helps moderate the interior climate. Open sightlines from the interior frame the surrounding view corridors, while custom millwork adds warmth and texture to the space. The floor plan emphasizes a seamless flow between the living, dining, and outdoor rooms, creating a dynamic, yet cohesive living experience. The continuity of neutral and cohesive tones create a backdrop that allows the architecture and views to take center stage without overpowering the senses.

The kitchen is designed for both culinary precision and social gatherings, featuring warm wood finishes, paired with striking granite countertops and top-end appliances, maintaining continuity in the space. A generous central island with integrated Sharp drawer microwave yields additional workspace, while the layout ensures the kitchen remains open to the living and dining areas, making it ideal for both intimate and larger-scale entertaining. The primary suite is positioned to maximize privacy, with an en-suite spa-like bathroom and access to the private owner's courtyard, where vibrant native vegetation thrives alongside fragrant and prolific citrus trees.

In addition to the main house, the property includes two distinct guest house casitas, each thoughtfully designed to offer privacy and comfort, with their own exterior living spaces. The larger, 1,358-square-foot casita features a full kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom, ideal for long-term guests, or independent living. Its modern finishes, open-plan layout, and private patio provide a fully self-sufficient retreat. The 615-square-foot guest house also includes a full kitchen, integrated bedroom, and bathroom, designed with an open concept that maximizes space and natural light. Both casitas maintain the same high standards of design and materials as the main house, ensuring consistency throughout the property.

The outdoors are a true desert oasis, designed to evoke a resort-like atmosphere, with the pool acting as the centerpiece that mirrors the sky above and blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The central courtyard areas are framed by generous lounging patios, shaded by trees and deep covered overhangs, with a soothing water feature that meanders through the courtyard adding both a sensory and visual tranquility to the space. Each patio provides for sweeping views of either the Catalina Mountains, Pusch Ridge, or valley lights to the South, making this property the ideal location for year round relaxation.
