Property Description
A pristine Sonoran estate nestled on a sprawling 4.5+acre canvas of desert, this privately gated property is more than just a home; it's an invitation to craft a life of tranquility and purpose. Walk among many towering saguaros while the gentle desert breeze carries the promise of endless possibilities. The slump block Spanish home provides the centerpiece of a personal sanctuary where you can reconnect with nature or perhaps realize your dreams of artisian craftsmanship in the separate garage/workshop and/or developing a first-class equestrian facility. More than just land and architecture, this provides a rare opportunity to build a legacy where dreams take root and flourish. The home was prominently featured in Arizona Living Magazine after completion for design & quality 1976 build.
