Property Description
Not merely a residence, this is a cultivated desert sanctuary, an architectural composition of form, light, and landscape nestled within the private secondary gates of Pima Gardens in the highly coveted enclave of Pima Canyon. Encompassing 6,631 square feet, with 5,667 square feet in the main residence and 939 in a detached guest house, the estate embodies a disciplined yet expressive design language where material authenticity, spatial clarity, and an enduring dialogue with the Sonoran landscape define its essence. The arrival sequence is choreographed through a privately gated courtyard, where sculpted plantings, a Cantera stone water feature, and textural accents establish a sense of journey and anticipation.

Beyond the threshold, a soaring 16-foot foyer reveals travertine flooring, birch-paneled ceilings, and knotty alder beams punctuated with recessed lighting a composition that balances grandeur with warmth, and volume with intimacy. From this axis, the home unfolds in a deliberate rhythm, each space aligned to capture light, frame the Catalina Mountains, and embrace the sculpted gardens beyond. The formal living room is anchored by expansive walls of glass that dissolve boundaries between interior and desert, welcoming soft northern light to animate surfaces and finishes. A climate-controlled wine gallery with 900-bottle capacity, along with a dining area that transitions seamlessly to terraces, enhances the home's capacity for both private repose and convivial gathering. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen functions as both instrument and aesthetic. Dual islands, bespoke imported cabinetry, and granite surfaces are complemented by professional-grade appliances, anchoring a space designed for both performance and gathering. Adjacent, the informal living room centers on a Cantera-faced fireplace, offering a warm counterpoint to the formal living areas. A breakfast nook opens to its own private patio, oriented toward a desert wash where rock outcroppings and saguaro-studded terrain frame the view, a setting for quiet rituals and easy connection to the landscape. A dedicated theatre, wrapped in straw-knit wall covering for texture and acoustic depth, creates an intimate cocoon for cinematic experience. The primary suite is conceived as a retreat of serenity, sequestered within the western wing, with custom alder-and-birch starburst ceilings that create the foundation of the space, while a two-way fireplace connects the sleeping chamber to an intimate sitting room. Doors extend outward to a private owner's suite terrace, framing long views of desert horizons. Additional en-suite bedrooms carry forward the same architectural rigor, attentive to proportion, material richness, and natural illumination. A detached guest residence completes the composition, offering full independence with its own kitchen, living area, fireplace, and a private terrace for guests. Outdoors, the estate unfolds as a layered sequence of experiences, where architecture and landscape are inseparable. Expansive Cantera verandas and hardscape extend the living spaces outward, their geometric lines softened by carefully placed specimen Yucca brevifolia, punctuating the desert landscape with living sculpture. A centerpiece of the exterior composition, is a one-of-a-kind Cantera water feature that anchors the landscape, with handmade stone spheres, each releasing a veil of water from its crown, cascading in quiet rhythm before merging with the negative-edge pool and spa that seem to dissolve into the desert horizon. Broad terraces flow into courtyards and an outdoor chef's kitchen, while sliding glass walls spanning 20 feet vanish entirely, blurring boundaries between interior precision and desert vastness. On the lower tier, a turf expanse offers an unexpected plane of green within the desert palette, extending opportunities for play, gathering, or repose. Light, shadow, and meticulously framed sightlines choreograph the outdoor experiences, creating a seamless dialogue between architecture, curated gardens, and native wilderness, a true celebration of Arizona desert living.
