Perched majestically against the dramatic backdrop of Pontatoc Ridge in the exclusive Coronado Foothills Estates, this extraordinary 4,088 square foot residence transcends the ordinary concept of ''home'' to become something far more profound--a personal desert sanctuary where architectural brilliance meets untamed natural beauty.Situated on 1.56 gated acres in the prestigious Catalina Foothills, this custom masterpiece represents the pinnacle of desert living, where each design element has been thoughtfully curated to honor both sophisticated comfort and the magnificent Sonoran landscape that surrounds it.The residence is defined by its harmonious dialogue with the environment. Strategically placed oversized windows function as living canvases, transforming each room into a gallery where light, shadow, and panoramic vistas become integral design elements. Constructed with enduring solid block and adorned with custom Sonoran mesquite hardwood floors and elegant travertine, the home embraces both refinement and authenticity. The hallway, great room, and master bedroom suite feature exquisite Imperial Plaster walls, adding a subtle richness and texture that complements the architectural significance of the space.
The culinary sanctuary reflects global sophistication, featuring a professional-grade Thermador range, premium appliances, artisan cabinetry, and an island perfectly positioned for both serious cooking and social gatherings. As the heart of the home, this space is designed for creating memorable evenings against the backdrop of mountain views so captivating they rival fine art.
Retreat to the primary suitea sanctuary within the sanctuaryfeaturing dual luxury bathrooms, a supersized custom walk-in closet, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ever-changing desert tableau. Two additional sophisticated bedrooms share an elegantly appointed bath, providing sumptuous accommodations for family or guests.

Multiple entertainment zones offer perfect settings for morning coffee amid visiting wildlife, afternoon dips in the shimmering pool, and evenings enjoying spectacular sunset views across the Tucson Valley.
What truly distinguishes this property is its extraordinary connection to the natural world. A custom water feature at the property's edge creates a serene oasis that attracts the region's remarkable wildlife.

The thoughtfully designed landscape includes additional water elements that blend seamlessly with native terrain, creating a harmonious transition between cultivated grounds and the wild beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
