Positioned behind the private gates of the prestigious ''Summit at Finger Rock'' in the Catalina Foothills, this exceptional residence occupies one of the community's most desirable view lots, offering rare, unobstructed city and mountain vistas. Iconic Finger Rock rises dramatically above, while the Pontatoc Canyon Trail and Finger Rock trailhead are quite literally just beyond your backyard--providing direct access to some of Tucson's most coveted hiking trails. Backing to the protected expanse of the Coronado National Forest and adjoining a natural greenbelt, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, open space, and a seamless connection to the surrounding Sonoran Desert, with abundant wildlife and a true sense of tranquility. All of this, just minutes from the refined shopping and dining at La Encantada and the amenities of La Paloma Country Club--an increasingly rare offering where protected land, north/south orientation, lush natural desert and convenience all converge in the Foothills. Meticulously maintained as a seasonal residence by the original owners, the home encompasses approximately 3,032 square feet with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, thoughtfully designed with all primary living spaces on the main level for effortless day-to-day living. Upstairs, a private retreat offers elevated perspectives of the city skyline and surrounding desert landscape. Two spacious guest bedrooms, a full bath, and an inviting sitting area open to a view terrace that captures sweeping views extending all the way to Mexico on a clear day or after a few glasses of wine. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass create a light-filled interior that frame the home's extraordinary setting. A gas fireplace and wall of windows in the primary bedroom look out on the most dramatic natural desert- a view most can only dream to wake up to. The primary bathroom offers a walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub and an enormous walk-in closet w/attic access and storage. Rolling window shades in the oversized living room provide comfort and privacy, complemented by a gas fireplace and generous wall space for art. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, maple cabinets, a gas cooktop, and a center island with breakfast bar, along with a casual dining area that captures city views after sunset. The functional layout opens seamlessly to the main living areas, equally suited to everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale. Outdoors, low-maintenance desert landscaping complements a deep covered patio designed for year-round enjoyment--ideal for Tucson's signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed, well-constructed, and meticulously maintained, this is an ideal "lock-and-leave" opportunity for a luxurious vacation home or refined downsize within one of the Foothills' most sought-after gated communities not to be missed.
