BACKED BY A RECENT APPRAISAL, this one-of-a-kind architectural sanctuary presents a compelling opportunity in today's luxury market.
Welcome to La Villa Serena--a private desert sanctuary bordering Saguaro National Park in secluded Chaos Canyon, where extraordinary privacy, architectural significance, and resort-style living meet just minutes from the city.
Set on approximately six acres with no HOA, this one-of-a-kind contemporary estate offers 4,425 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a guest house, studio or fourth bedroom, and a dedicated library--creating exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, creative space, or a private retreat.
Designed on a dramatic curved arc, the residence is both bold and timeless, blending rugged stone, refined modern finishes, custom iron windows, gallery-style lighting, and three fireplaces that add warmth and intimacy throughout.
Walls of glass frame expansive mountain, saguaro, and sparkling city-light views while seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The resort-style grounds were designed for restoration and entertaining alike, featuring a large pool, covered patio with fireplace, misting system, Zen garden with soaking tub, outdoor shower, and more than half a mile of private walking trails winding through the desert landscape.
La Villa Serena is more than a home--it is a rare opportunity to own a secluded luxury retreat where peace, design, and nature exist in perfect balance.
