Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This location offers the best view of the city and of the valley in the entire valley. It is stone quiet at night, and the stars are bright - all the best of our Southwest living. It is also fantastic to see the monsoons move in over the valley from this location. All of my guest love the house - but the view is what it's all about - you can't stop looking.
The Unique Benefits at this House
If you'd like to experience real Southwest living - this is a great opportunity. This property is surrounded by natural Sonoran Desert in all it's beauty. Watch incredible sunsets and hear the coyotes howel at night. Trailheads into South Mountain Park - a 22,000 acre preserve are just steps away from the house. Try taking horses on the trails - also available close by.

We had everything we needed and more – far exceeded the website pictures & descriptions. We used the Jacuzzi daily after a rough day on the links and at night we sat on the patio and enjoyed looking at the city lights. Thanks again! J. – San Francisco and M., M. and R. – Sonora, CA

You have thought of everything! This was the break we needed from the freezing Alberta winter … we certainly enjoyed our evenings by the pool with a glass of wine, watching the city lights.
