6950 W Sweetwater Dr, Tucson, AZ 85745

Priced $95,000 less than recent appraisal! Situated on a private and commanding 10.46 acre view lot, backing up to the Saguaro National Park West, with soaring city and mountain views that stretch out over the valley below, creating the perfect backdrop from which this one of a kind homesite was selected. Maximizing the home's dramatic relationship between interior and exterior spaces is achieved through careful design and placement of structure, with connectivity to the protected Saguaro studded desert landscapes. From the privately gated approach one is received by a cohort of lush vegetation that celebrates the natural beauty encompassing the residence. Solid in form, with thick masonry construction, offers a sense of permanence while evoking a feeling of lifestyle that responds to the unified dialog between the architecture and the adjoining desertscapes. The entry opens onto the main body of the home, designed to offer both scaled social spaces, ideal for entertaining, as well as the privacy of a secluded retreat. The open floor plan complements the soft interior textures and accenting wood tones, while taking full advantage of filtered natural light through an array of large picture windows that frame the visual horizon. The interior spaces offer unmatched fit and finish, with antique motifs and custom built in millwork providing material continuity to the overall design aesthetic. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, set against granite countertops, and fitted with professional series appliances while carefully choreographing the user's movement through the space. The Southeast end of the residence comprises an oversized owner's suite, with a large custom dressing closet, and a luxurious spa-like bath. Walls of glass fill the suite with soft morning light, while providing access to the covered veranda. Additional living accommodations are sequestered on the North end of the estate, with a junior primary suite located on the Southwest end of the property, flanking the cozy study. The property is serviced by a private well, accompanied by two 1,200 gallon water storage tanks that run through a water purification and filtration system that supplies water throughout the residence. A series of patios create the framework for the pool and integrated spa, acting as visual centerpiece to the property. Large sliding glass doors off the living room, with automated shutters on the veranda, offer seamless year round indoor-outdoor entertaining. This ultra-private retreat offers both regional design and breathtaking views, while privately situated within moments of acclaimed dining, shopping and entertainment, as well as proximity to hundreds of miles of hiking, cycling and horseback riding trails.
