Property Description
Nestled behind a private gate on almost 4.6 acres of immaculate Sonoran-Desert landscape, this 1976 custom residence invites a discerning buyer to restore a slice of architectural history. The home’s rare hybrid of Spanish-Revival elegance and the rugged charm of a Mexican monastery creates a timeless backdrop for imagination and refinement. Towering saguaros frame the property, while a gentle desert breeze carries whispers of possibility–whether you envision a tranquil sanctuary, a showcase of artisan craftsmanship, or a savvy investment that builds on its recent $1.76M appraisal. 9/25/25 APPRAISAL VALUE AT $1,760,000.
