Welcome to your very own private 'resort' hidden at the end of the road in secluded (but accessible) Chaos Canyon. The structures on the property are built like a fortress (steel roof, split-face block and steel frame structures with interior real plaster walls) atop and into the side of a Rhyolite rock hill that had to be blasted-out with dynamite to excavate for the structures. The property is where simple Old-World Mediterranean accents meet with New-World modern sophistication. The structures on the property are built on a radius of about 100 feet, and the main residence is a curved arc of about 100 feet in length. The long and lighted rustic driveway greets you with rising Rhyolite rock walls on either side, setting the tone for this solid and bright contemporary property that sits on ~6 acres. Enjoy privacy you've never dreamt of owning, where no additional lots can be parceled or built on to the immediate north, south, east, or west as the land is sandwiched between Saguaro National Forest and the Tucson Mountains range. There's no HOA to bother you (although there are neighborhood covenants with two other properties to protect you so you can have peace at your own private getaway). Built in 1997/1998, the property has undergone a very extensive remodel (lasting almost two years while the owners lived out of state) of systems and finishes without anyone fully living in it until mid-November 2023. (The guest house was briefly occupied in January of 2022 at the beginning of the remodel project.) The property offers 4 bedrooms and 4 baths and has approximately 4450 SF of total living space, a 311 SF covered patio off the main kitchen with a wood burning fireplace and with 150-year-old reclaimed oak timbers from a barn in Montana, a 676 SF garage with space for a shop, and some storage in a tank enclosure. A brand-new industrial misting system was installed in 2023 to cool the patio. Other buildings include a block enclosed pool equipment room and a large block structure that encloses the 2500-gallon water tank that buffers you from any variations with the water utility. There are 6 AC units on this property: 2 split units (Lenox), 1 package unit (Trane), and 3 mini splits (Mitsubishi in living areas and Fedders in garage) used for rapid cooling in specific areas including the master bedroom: to give it a good 65 degrees chill for sleeping at night without cooling the entire house that low at night. All of the living area AC units (5) were replaced with brand new top-of-the-line Lenox, Trane, and Mitsubishi systems in November of 2023 and are warranted. The property captivates ruggedness of materials offset with elegant refinement and the very essence of Arizona as the American Southwest, having stunning views of the saguaro-forested desert and the mountains towering above it to the south and the west, and views of city lights and U of A to the east at night, and an outdoor fireplace and two interior fireplaces all that can burn wood or gas. There are no homes in your views to the south and only one in view to the west in the distance. The views eastward include some homes quite a distance off (about mile) from this beautifully appointed "resort" like property that contains stunningly landscaping in its own right, including extensive custom outdoor lighting, many Mesquite, Palo Verde, and other trees (Texas Laurel, palms, olive, etc.) and shrubs (rosemary, jojoba, etc.) combined with elegant cacti bisected with stone pathways and rusted steel railings. Outdoor sitting areas are almost everywhere amidst the landscaping and as well on porches and around the very large swimming pool. All but the front landscaped yards are included with rock and metal & cable fences and gates. The pool shape and location, and the main structures and their interiors on this property were uniquely designed by award-winning architect Rob Paulus on a radius (see bird's eye aerial views) and it has been featured in design magazines and a popular
