Backyard

The backyard of this sprawling estate is simply outstanding. With gorgeous views of the Catalina Mountains to the east, downtown Tucson to the south, and Tortolita Mountains to the west, you’ll have no shortage of spectacular vistas to gaze upon. In fact it’s more of a challenge to decide which view is the most enchanting to allow your eyes to rest upon. What makes these views even more special is the lush grounds from which you can see them. An abundance of emerald colored lawn, mature Mesquite & Palo Verde trees, flowering plants, and native desert cactus provide the perfect setting for relaxation. Professionally designed by noted horticulturist, Jim Dawson, the enormity and splendor of the backyard add tremendous appeal to the residence. Low voltage landscape lighting adds an excellent final touch to the overall magnificence of the backyard.

There are literally a dozen distinct, separate areas in the backyard that can be used for entertaining and enjoyment. A covered patio wraps around the entire rear exterior, allowing an escape from the sun or monsoon rains while still enjoying the outdoors. Four different lawn areas exist in the backyard in which you can sink your toes and feel the cool earth underfoot. The natural turf is ideal for pets, children, entertaining, laying out, or enjoying a yard game such as croquet. Against the rear of the yard is a seating bench that wraps around the yard’s edge and is adjacent to a unique archway with an attached outdoor fireplace covered in Telluride stone. You can also enjoy a downstairs courtyard which has a wooden table set on a flagstone patio, all overlooking a unique water feature & fire pit.

All of these amenities make for a great outdoor living space, but there’s more still! The backyard also houses a pebble-tec swimming pool with a pseudo-infinity type edge, in-ground spa, and a gently flowing stream. The sensational views are visible from the pool & spa, making the summer fun or evening dip a completely serene experience. Keep in mind the 4.12 acres of this property means that there are no nearby neighbors, so you’re privacy is completely assured. A substantial portion of this acreage is right down the view corridor too, meaning its permanence is guaranteed. One visit to this backyard simply isn’t enough and will entice you to make it last a lifetime.
