About this property
Ultimate Mountain Privacy In The Saguaro National Park at Gates Pass.
Only minutes from downtown Tucson and the Spanish Mission of San Xavier del Bac built in 1692 lies this gem of a wilderness property in the Great Sonoran Desert. Occupying a site overlooking the Saguaro National Park, this Pueblo revival home is made from stabilized Adobe with walls that are more than two feet thick to keep out the desert heat and cold. Originally built as a small winter cottage for a family from Connecticut, this home is in the only place on earth where Saguaro cacti can be experienced in abundance. Bordering the Tucson Mountain Park and the Saguaro National Park West, the estate sits on 10 acres of pure privacy with immediate access to the park's walking and biking trails. While frequently visited by wolves and deer, as well as Javelina, Moutainside Place is only minutes from the Starr Pass Golf Club and Resort. As members of the club, guests who stay at Casa de Saguaro can have full access to the golf course as well as the resorts spa and pools including a lazy river.
