About This Home

As of May 2020

One of the most unique houses in Tucson. Influenced by the Anasazi and Hopi Indians, the architect Alex Riley created a serpentine organic flowing floor plan that allows the house to become integrated with the desert surroundings. Split floor plan has either bedroom in the main house at far ends of the house. Smaller guest house allows for guests or separate office area. Native landscaping with plenty of multiple armed saguaros are found on the 3.53 acre property. The house has been a successful vacation rental for the past ten years and can be purchased fully furnished (separate bill of sale). Hot tub and shed transfer as-is. Agent Owners
