About this property

Lovely Desert Retreat w/ Hot Tub,Garden, 4 Br, Privacy, 10 mins Downtown

Relax by the Private Pool!
Secluded, yet close to town: Unique 4 BR home is nestled on 1/2 acre+ of natural desert in the W Tucson Mtn foothills

-Lush oasis-like garden
-Let tensions dissolve in the Hot tub
-City lights & mountain views
-3 patios
-BBQ, covered deck
- Fast access: 6 min to I-10 Gem show sites, 10 min to Downtown
- Solar heated pool (swimmable Mid-March-Oct)

Our renovated mid-century adobe is a peaceful retreat for families and friends with a fully stocked kitchen!

More than just a house, this private property with lush outdoor enclosed garden is a retreat from the every day and perfect for intimate indoor/outdoor family get togethers.

Classic Tucson 50's Burnt-adobe house has beamed ceilings, concrete floors and exposed brick walls! Kitchen is updated with custom hardwood cabinets, granite countertops, bar sink and smooth top stove. House is stylishly outfitted with original art and AZ nature photos.
**New** Fire pit for outdoor evenings.

Kids (or the young at heart) will love the secret bedroom hidden behind a book case, and adults will enjoy the large Master bedroom with French doors opening to a view of the sparkling pool. The Covered deck has views of desert, mountains and city lights!

- Comfortable beds with premium cotton linens.
- Side and back yards are fully fenced and enclosed for your safety and privacy .
- We love to cook and provide a well-stocked kitchen.
- We welcome well-behaved pets!

Note that since we have opened the house, we have added: Upgraded 70" tv in living room and 55" TV in the Master bedroom , a 6 person hot tub, solar pool heat, a hammock in the garden and a fire table on the deck. Pool solar heat is typically warm Mid-March through October.

- We ask that you not have more than 10 people on property or 2 visitors beyond those staying overnight without checking with us first.
- Due to Covid we have added enhanced cleaning.

- a warning to city dweller visitors: The house is close to nature and the desert which we share with creatures large and small. Besides birds and rabbits, there are many insects, and occasionally guests encounter animals which are interesting to see at a distance but not "friendly" up close such as bobcats, coyotes, snakes and scorpions. We encourage guests to watch their step when you go walking through the nearby desert.. And especially keep an eye on small dogs and young children

Host profile image
We grew up in Tucson, not far from this house and love the desert.

Why they chose this property

We love this location and neigborhood for its quiet atmosphere, natural undisturbed desert areas, It has close 10 minute proximity to mountains and hiking and downtown restaurants and nightlife.

What makes this property unique

The house is a classic tucson burnt adobe house and has not been done in the black/brown/white monotone style popular now, but has a classic southwestern feel. The renovations have kept that style. it feels like you are nestled away
