This fun, light-filled custom contemporary offers a flowing, open floor plan and showcases scored concrete floors and an eclectic art collection throughout. Prerequisite chef's kitchen adjoins romantic dining area with Venetian chandelier. Two-way cantera stone fireplace in living area extends summer living on the outside terrace and warms the house in winter.
For discerning renters and travelers, this conveniently located property offers the best of three worlds: an exclusive, gated community just minutes from downtown Tucson; world-class golf at Starr Pass and the JW Marriott Resort & Hashani Spa; balanced by miles of biking and hiking trails in 20,000 acres of pristine, protected wilderness.
Start the day with a short walk for a cup of java at Starbucks at the JW Marriott and pick up the morning paper. Enjoy a massage or pampered treatment at the world-class Hashani Spa. Linger over cocktails (100 Tequilas from which to choose) and dine al fresco at the popular Signature Grill or at Primo's under the direction of Melissa Kelly, the James Beard award-winning chef.
OR - take an early morning hike or mountain bike ride right out the back door in magnificent Tucson Mountain Park, with miles of
trails and thousands of saguaros.
OR - stay home in your private retreat surrounded by inviting sitting areas and native desert zeroscape landscaping. In season, swim laps in the large lap pool or sit serenely under the refreshing waterfall. Then rinse down in a tucked-away, outdoor shower. Enjoy the panoramic views with a cold one from the sunset balcony with big golf course, city and mountain vistas. Entertain and grill at the custom Barbecue island, then dine under the stars fireside.
