Private Desert Retreat in the Catalina Foothills
Brand new vacation listing available in February!
Welcome to our serene Catalina Foothills retreat offering an authentic Tucson experience in one of the city’s most desirable and peaceful neighborhoods. Framed by dramatic mountain backdrops and sparkling city-light views, this classic burnt-adobe home blends timeless Southwest architecture with modern comforts—ideal for travelers seeking privacy, beauty, and convenience.
Spanning 2,487 square feet of single-level living, the home is designed for effortless relaxation and connection. Large windows throughout capture the changing desert light from sunrise to sunset, filling the home with warmth and natural beauty. The open living and dining areas feature wood floors, tile, and the signature charm of two kiva fireplaces, creating an inviting space to unwind after a day of exploring Tucson.
The updated kitchen is perfectly suited for all your needs, featuring stainless steel appliances, double ovens, granite countertops, and a spacious pantry. Multiple patios provide private spaces to enjoy morning coffee with mountain views, afternoon shade under the desert sky, or evening gatherings beneath brilliant stars. The outdoor areas feel tranquil and secluded, offering guests a true sense of retreat while remaining close to the city.
The home’s bedroom wing offers comfort and flexibility for families or groups. The primary suite feels like a private sanctuary with space for lounging and an office for remote work. Additional guest bedrooms are well-sized, featuring queen beds.
Community amenities include tennis courts, a junior Olympic pool, and a group ramada for guest use.
Location Highlights for Guests
Minutes to Catalina Foothills hiking trails, world-class golf and scenic desert walks right out the front door.
Quick access to upscale dining, shopping, and cafés along Sunrise & Campbell
Short drive to La Encantada, downtown Tucson, and the University of Arizona
Peaceful foothills setting with mature desert landscaping and minimal traffic.
