About this property

The moment you drive through the electronic gate you will be transformed by its natural beauty and leave the world behind. On almost an acre in the middle of Tucson, my home is a blend of glass, wood, stone and original art work. My home was built by a very well know archictect of Tucson and was the featured article in Tucson Home And Garden magazine. Southwest meets Asian zen retreat, central to everything. Japanese wood fired hot tub as well as a stone sauna, you will feel as though you are in one of Tucson's high end resorts, but it is your own to enjoy! Completely fenced and private gorgeous mature cactus garden in backyard to relax and unwind. Guaranteed to take your breath away, there is no other home like this in Tucson!

A unique home

An amazing home and an architectural marvel. Every morning, I loved waking up to the full view of the garden all around me. We enjoyed the house during our one month stay, and planning to come back again if we can. Nancy and Erica were very nice and communicative.

Gorgeous Gem

The home and gardens are architectural and design marvels and every inch of the home is filled with artful moments. Nancy and Erica were fantastic to work with and we enjoyed many of their suggestions for dining and entertainment when we weren’t exploring the gem show. They quickly resolved a water main issue and kept us informed. Loved the beauty and the tranquility of the home and setting. Fabulous host and home!

Super place!

We loved it! Nancy's home is interesting, very private, and felt like an urban retreat. She did a great job of welcoming us and getting us comfortable with her home.
