About This Home

Set within Shadow Hills—one of the Catalina Foothills' most coveted enclaves—this home reveals a rare balance of refined craftsmanship and a deep connection to the Sonoran landscape. Every line, surface, and space reflects thoughtful design and enduring quality.
Inside, the mountains become part of the architecture. Nearly every room offers remarkable Catalina and Tucson mountain views, with select spaces framing Finger Rock. Morning light softens the ridgeline, while sunset turns the peaks into dramatic silhouettes. The desert becomes a living backdrop—shifting, glowing, and grounding the home in its setting.
Exceptional craftsmanship defines the interiors. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams draw the eye upward, while clerestory windows introduce natural light throughout the day. A striking two-way fireplace warms both the living and family rooms, and walls of glass bring the surrounding landscape inside. Architectural niches, arched openings, and curated details blend contemporary Southwestern style with timeless Santa Fe influences.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen delivers both function and beauty. Viking cooking appliances and a large KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer anchor the space, complemented by granite countertops, a generous island, skylights, and a sophisticated tile backsplash. Just steps away, a beautifully appointed beverage bar features dual wine refrigeration, glass-front display cabinets, and a seamless setup for effortless entertaining. The open flow between the kitchen, family room, and breakfast area makes the space ideal for everyday living and hosting.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, offering mountain views, a two-way fireplace, and generous proportions. Its remodeled bathroom feels spa-inspired, featuring limestone countertops, a soaking tub, and an oversized glass-block shower, with refined finishes throughout. The additional bedrooms including the guest suite also enjoy mountain views, offering every guest a true Foothills experience.
Outdoor living is elevated to a resort level. An expansive covered patio with exposed beam ceiling spans the length of the home, providing multiple lounging and dining zones overlooking the Pebble Tec pool and curated desert landscaping. Bougainvillea, raised planters, mature saguaros, and sculptural agaves create a vibrant yet tranquil setting ideal for both quiet evenings and gatherings with friends.
The landscaping itself is desert artistry palo verde, ocotillo, agave, and native cacti placed with intention, forming natural vignettes that feel like living sculptures. Each window frames a moment of the desert's beauty.
Set on just under three-quarters of an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home enjoys both space and privacy while still being minutes from La Encantada, St. Philip's Plaza, the farmer's market, Catalina Foothills schools, and top medical facilities. Every return home feels like stepping back into calm.
A flexible floorplan supports a wide range of lifestyles, with one bedroom currently serving as a home office complete with a full closet and mountain views. Central vacuum, abundant storage, two fireplaces, a blend of Mexican tile, stone, and carpet flooring all reflect ongoing pride of ownership and meticulous care. The home truly lives newer than its age.
Built during a period of architectural integrity and generous lot planning, Shadow Hills is celebrated for its thoughtful design, mature desert landscape, and enduring construction quality. This home embodies everything that has made the neighborhood one of the Foothills' most sought-after.
Homes with this level of care, timeless architecture, and this caliber of mountain views rarely come to market. Spend a moment watching the light move across the Catalina range, and you'll understand why properties like this are unforgettable.
Your next chapter awaits. The mountains are calling.
