Marana, AZ 85658

Carved into the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains and reached through a dramatic 600-foot tunnel of stone, this more-than-eight-acre estate now arrives at its intended form: finished, disciplined, and unmistakably luxurious. After a multi-year transformation, architecture, craft, and technology stand unified, creating an immersive and unparalleled living experience. Multiple wings and structures invite discovery at every turn, each framing a distinct view of sunrise over saguaro-lined ridges, canyon moonlight, and wide-open sunsets. Panoramic motorized doors dissolve boundaries so gatherings flow from the great room to shaded verandas, outdoor kitchen and dining terraces, pool, and spa. It is national-park seclusion and views combined with true indoor and outdoor living. The nearly 2,200-square-foot primary suite functions as a private villa with its own library, separate sitting room, and dual spa baths featuring steam showers, heated floors, towel warmers, and private closets with in-suite laundry. A fully remodeled kitchenette and art walkway add refinement, while a fireplace anchors the mood and a built-in espresso maker provides comfort from morning through night. Each guest suite is a destination, more luxurious than many primaries. Both feature private sitting rooms and two fireplaces for layered warmth and atmosphere. One suite opens to an indoor and outdoor shower with a private steam shower, while the other includes a sunset patio with seamless pool access. Each has a private exterior entrance, maintaining complete privacy for guests or family. A detached guest house with kitchenette provides autonomy for long-stay guests or staff. The chef's kitchen, honored with global, national, and local design awards, was rebuilt to the studs with Sub-Zero, Wolf, Cove, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. It features bookmatched natural stone flooring and custom millwork with trim integrated around built-ins, achieving a balance of precision and ease. The final phase of the renovation, completed this year, delivered a comprehensive technology overhaul with more than fifty high-fidelity speakers, upgraded theater displays, and unified Crestron control of lighting, motorized shades, panoramic doors, pool, climate, and security. Indoor fireplaces remain intentionally independent, while outdoors a custom steel fire feature, also Crestron-controlled, doubles as sculpture after dark. A 105-inch indoor and outdoor Atmos cinema anchors the alfresco entertainment area, visible from the kitchen, terrace, pool, and spa. A second 85-inch lift-screen rises from a natural stone countertop for movie nights under the stars. Expansive patios, verandas, and multiple gathering areas connect to a Viking and Sub-Zero outdoor kitchen that sets the stage for celebrations of any size. Beyond the terraces and rooftop entertaining deck, the desert becomes part of the design. Defined walking paths weave through natural terrain toward quiet seating areas and overlook points that invite reflection and connection with nature. At the center lies the property's signature feature, Turtle Head Rock, a sculptural formation with two shallow caves that capture the breeze and evoke the mystery of nearby ancient hieroglyphs. An elevator links the garage, kitchen, and rooftop entertaining deck, where Mount Lemmon and the desert sky form a natural amphitheater. Supporting systems include an 800-amp electrical service, three gas meters, automated water shut-offs for every supply including irrigation, and dual security camera systems with both local-server and cloud-based coverage. Every room in the home has been renewed, some comprehensively and others selectively, so the residence feels entirely new while preserving its timeless authenticity. This is the finish line, and it looks like it: privacy, perspective, and a home that entertains beautifully yet lives comfortably.
