About This Home

As of January 2023

Positioned on a private hillside lot on over an acre this home is an original design by Josias Joesler. In fine Joesler tradition this property captures the essence of his vision for what living in the Catalina Foothills Estates should embody. From every room on the North side of the home you are met with expansive picture windows opening up the dramatic Catalina Mountain views & natural desert landscape featuring 45 Saguaro cacti throughout. Timeless old world Joesler character continues from end to end with inclining beamed ceilings, natural wood patina, and a Cedar lined closet in the Master Bedroom. The outdoor living entertainment options surround you on all sides and provide you fabulous mountain, city, and sunset views from multiple angles. Stamped Joesler plans included!
