Straw bale eco-luxe house + guesthouse on 3+ acres 20 minutes to downtown Tucson

Welcome to our beloved, one-of-a-kind retreat nestled on the west side of town in the Tucson Mountains.

If serenity and escape are what you're looking for - you've found the perfect spot! And with amazing proximity to downtown, this quiet 3.75 acre property is a gorgeous and peaceful home away from home that you relish after a day working or exploring.

Main house can sleep up to 6 guests, and the guesthouse with it's own kitchen and bath boasts a second king bed for up to two more people.

*This house is situated off of a private dirt road.
(Access and clearance have never posed issues in the past).

Please note that while the property is secluded, the valley carries sound to neighboring estates. We ask that you keep outdoor noise to a reasonable and mindful volume for your entire stay with emphasis on nighttime quiet hours 10 PM - 7 AM.

Standout features include:

*Designed by architect Paul Weiner of DesignBuild Collaborative

*Nature lover's dream-come-true located between Saguaro National Park West & Sweetwater Preserve. 1.1 miles easy walk from the house into 880 acres of spectacular hiking and mountain biking.

*Ample covered porch area with hammock, sun loungers, daybed - catch an unforgettable Arizona sunset in peaceful comfort!

*Wood burning stove within the picturesque beehive fireplace

*Chefs kitchen with everything you need to prepare any meal

*Vaulted ceilings in the open-concept living space with generous seating and surfaces; this home is GREAT for family gatherings or work retreats!

*Gorgeous native plants and trees, and many herbs around the structures

*3.75 acres of Sonoran wildlife immediately surrounding the house

*Thoughtfully furnished by an award-winning interior designer - all furnishings and inventory beautiful and brand new featuring Citizenry linens and a state-of-the-art kitchen and oversized pantry

Liked: Cleanliness
From the amazing location to the lovely and well-appointed houses, this was one of our best VRBO stays ever. The house and casita were clean and very comfortable. The main house is situated such that we had our coffee on the east porch in the morning sun, and wine in the west portal at sunset. There are little pathways around the property, through the natural desert, for meandering and meditation. The host responded quickly to any questions we had about the house or area. We are grateful for this stay, and we will be back!
