Property Description
Perched high above Serenidad Canyon, the crown jewel of gated Mira Vista Canyon Estates, this extraordinary 10.2-acre estate presents a rare opportunity to own a private canyon. Set in Tucson's lush Tanque Verde Valley and surrounded by dramatic, saguaro-studded hills, the elevated homesite commands sweeping, unobstructed vistas stretching across the mountains, city lights & spectacular Arizona sunsets. Here, privacy, natural beauty and breathtaking views come together to create a true desert sanctuary. Enter through a private gate and immediately feel transported. Lush desert landscaping and a beautiful koi pond welcome you, while a paver-and-turf-lined driveway leads to the motor court and gathering area. Continued An enchanting bougainvillea-framed archway, flagstone walkways, cobalt-blue tile accents, and a covered entry with a custom iron screen door introduce the home's distinctive character. Inside, the dramatic great room is designed around the view. Massive windows frame the mountains and infinity-edge pool beyond, creating a stunning backdrop as the day moves from dawn to dusk. At night, the dark skies reveal the starry skies. High ceilings, real hardwood floors, crown molding, and a double-sided fireplace bring warmth and architectural character to the open living spaces.
