Secluded Modern Architectural Retreat on 3 Private Acres with Pool, Spa, Views | House in Tucson
2 Bedroom House in Cortaro, Tucson
Sueños En Los Saguaros is a modern architectural retreat set high on a private ridge within a saguaro cactus forest in the Tucson Mountains. Spanning more than 3,500 square feet across three secluded acres, the home is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass that brings panoramic desert views, dramatic light, and five distant mountain ranges directly into the living spaces. Expansive terraces support seamless indoor-outdoor living with a pool, heated spa, and gas fire pit. Despite its privacy, the property is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from groceries and essentials, 25 minutes from Downtown Tucson, and 30 minutes from Tucson International Airport.
Quiet and intentionally designed, the home is best suited for guests seeking a peaceful, long-stay desert experience. Its generous scale and thoughtful layout allow couples to share the home comfortably, with distinct living areas and separation that support privacy, quiet, and individual routines. Architecturally refined yet highly livable, the residence is particularly well suited for extended stays.
