About this property
Elegant magical rustic round house by Saguaro National Park
Imagine being in a story book round house with turqoise and golden floors, set on 2.5 acres of Sonoran desert facing the Tucson Mountains. Having lived our lives here in the desert, we newly renovated our family adobe block home ourselves, as artists and builders, to capture what we love about the desert and the local culture. It is earthy and elegant, like a yurt inside, one big open and spacious room with a stunning wood ceiling. Only the bathroom is separate with a beautiful Moroccan Tadelakt walk-in shower and claw foot tub. The full kitchen has a Mexican Talavera tile counter top, full sized refrigerator, stocked with all the basics, espresso machine, and many amenities.
The backyard is fully fenced with a ramada for shade, a fire pit, and a propane barbecue.
The desert property is filled with saguaro cactus, and native plants. You can enjoy a meal under the ironwood tree, watching the sunsets or mountains . Perfect for astronomers and night sky enthusiasts as this is a dark sky designated area with the world famous Kitt Peak Observatory less than 50 miles away. Great for hikers with Saguaro National Park trails within minutes , and many cycling and mountain biking opportunities.
The Sonoran Desert Museum is 6 minutes away. Old Tucson , once a Film Studio for over 300 Western Movies , now a theme park, is a 15 minute drive through the park. Iron Wood National Monument is a 15 minute drive to the west for wide open uninhabited desert experiences and hikes with ancient petroglyphs.
Downtown Tucson is only 30 minutes away and Tucson International airport is also only 40 minutes away. The Tucson Mountains separate this home from the city so you’re able to enjoy the peace of the desert yet still “go to town”. Plenty of private parking including trailer and or an RV.

About the host
Hosted by Diane Call

My husband and I are both from this area and have traveled many places in the world. As for hosting I believe in creating beautiful environments for people to feel uplifted and inspired. We took special care creating this renovation with guests in mind , including special creative details. As a traveler and artist I ’ve always loved meeting people . We live 15 minutes away on our “ranch”. I teach yoga and Theatre arts, and had a business painting homes. We like creating all manor of things and spaces.
Why they chose this property
My adopted mother built this house with her family in the 1970’s when this area was sparsely populated. The area has gorgeous views of the mountains and sunsets, easy to get to yet each home here is separated by some acreage. Peaceful, quiet and private.
What makes this property unique
This house is a round adobe block house with a unique wood ceiling . No corners! Beautiful stained concrete floor like walking on robins eggs, lime plaster tadelak walk-in shower, 2.5 acres of Sonoran desert. It offers a desert retreat in a sweet rural area within minutes of several parks and local world famous tourist attractions.
