Property Description
Commanding one of the most coveted ridgetop settings in Oro Valley's prestigious guard-gated La Reserve, this contemporary Santa Fe-style estate offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural distinction, and breathtaking natural beauty. Spanning approximately 3,547 square feet and set on nearly an acre, the home captures panoramic, protected views across the valley and toward the dramatic peaks of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness—an irreplaceable backdrop ensuring lasting tranquility and visual impact.
A striking custom iron entry sets the tone upon arrival, opening to interiors defined by thoughtful scale and refined craftsmanship. Travertine flooring with an inlaid compass rose, soaring ceilings, art niches and walls of glass immediately draw the eye outward to the surrounding landscape. The expansive great room serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting living and entertaining spaces while framing sweeping mountain vistas. A dramatic three-sided, glass-enclosed fireplace anchors the great room, adding warmth and architectural presence on cool desert evenings.
The gourmet kitchen is a statement of craftsmanship and performance, designed for those who appreciate elevated design and professional capability. Rich custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a slate backsplash create a timeless foundation, complemented by a premier suite of professional-grade Monogram appliances. A gas range with pot filler, built-in refrigeration, warming drawer, microwave, and dual dishwashers elevate the space to a true culinary showpiece. A substantial center island, abundant lighting, and generous prep space complete this exceptional kitchen, offering both visual impact and effortless functionality.
The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan enhances privacy and livability throughout. Wide, gallery-style hallways lead to the primary suite and guest accommodations, creating an open, airy flow that is immediately felt upon entry.
Privately positioned within its own wing, the primary suite is a serene retreat featuring rich wood flooring, direct patio access, and tranquil desert views. The spa-inspired bath invites relaxation with a soaking tub set beside a fireplace, dual vanities, and a massive walk-in travertine shower.

The free-form Pebble Tec pool and elevated spa are ideally positioned for both daytime enjoyment and evening ambiance, including memorable Fourth of July celebrations beneath the desert sky. Multiple seating areas and thoughtfully designed hardscape complete this private oasis.
