1887 E Desert Garden DriveTucson, AZ 85718




Perched high above the city within the prestigious 24/7 guard-gated community of Pima Canyon Estates, this Desert Modernism estate is framed by the Santa Catalina Mountains and Tucson's legendary dark skies. Arrival is quietly dramatic: a discreet motor court, porte-cochère, exposed concrete walkways, and a custom steel-and-glass entry anchored in stacked stone. Just across the street, a lush Zen garden with a tranquil pond and serene sitting areas offers a peaceful extension of the property's restorative atmosphere. Inside, the desert doesn't disappear--it becomes the view. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass bring the Catalinas into everyday living, while travertine floors flow through an open plan designed for effortless gathering. Owner is licensed to sell real estate in Arizona. Thoughtful North/South orientation, a water filtration system, EV charging station, and privately owned solar panels that offer incredible efficiency with an average electric bill of approximately $35.00 per month. The kitchen is the home's social center, featuring Mont Blanc quartzite counters with seamless integrated backsplash, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and Visual Comfort lighting. French doors open to a veranda courtyard where city lights and mountain silhouettes set the scene for dinner and sunset. A single-level private primary wing is positioned for sweeping Catalina views and total privacy, featuring an electric fireplace and an adjoining meditation/bonus room. The spa-inspired bath offers dual vanities, a generous walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub designed for true retreat. Across the home, two additional bedrooms each feature renovated en-suite baths and share a private living area--ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A substantial fourth bedroom is perfectly suited as a dedicated home office. Outdoors, the architecture continues: an integrated pool and elevated spa mirror sky and mountain, complemented by a putting green, while deep cantilevered overhangs create shade and true outdoor "rooms." A spiral staircase leads to a private view deck--your front-row seat to Tucson's color-washed sunsets and star-filled nights. A separate veranda with a trickling fountain adds a quiet, restorative corner of the grounds. This is not just a home with views. It's a sustainable, secure, and modern lifestyle built around the outdoor setting, privacy, and the Sonoran Desert at its finest.
