An extraordinary architectural achievement by renowned Tucson architect Ron Robinette, with interiors by Larry Shades and significant contributions by Holler & Saunders, this remarkable desert modern estate is, without question, one of Tucson's finest residences and is being offered for sale for the first time since its completion in 2003 by its original owners. Privately situated on two of the most desirable lots in exclusive, gated Redington Ranch, Tucson's premier equestrian community with private boarding stables and miles of riding trails, the property encompasses nearly six acres of pristine Sonoran Desert, borders the Coronado National Forest and commands sweeping, unobstructed views across the entire Tucson Valley. Upon selling their family business and finding themselves with the opportunity to begin the next chapter of their lives anywhere in the world, the owners chose Tucson. With an uncompromising vision, they assembled an exceptional team of architects, builders, designers, and artisans to create a residence that would not only celebrate their achievements but also provide an extraordinary setting for their remarkable collection of Western art and Native American rugs. Their objective was to create a home of enduring architectural significance, one that would be equally suited for comfortable family living and sophisticated entertaining, with exceptional materials, uncompromising craftsmanship, and an attention to detail rarely encountered. More than two decades later, the success of that vision is unmistakable. Centered around three defining elements--architecture, art, and landscape--the estate represents an extraordinary expression of refined desert living.When selecting an architect capable of translating their vision into reality, there was only one name under consideration: Ron Robinette. Recognized for his ability to create architecture that responds to and celebrates the surrounding desert environment, Robinette conceived a residence that embraces its extraordinary setting through dramatic architectural volumes, expansive walls of glass, and an effortless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Nearly every room offers a carefully framed view of the surrounding mountains, desert landscape, or distant city lights, while generously proportioned public spaces accommodate everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale entertaining. Equally important was the thoughtful integration of expansive wall space to showcase the owners' significant art collection.A grand reception foyer introduces the home's impressive scale and architectural sophistication, opening to a breathtaking living room with soaring 20-foot ceilings, a magnificent fireplace, flagstone floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the swimming pool, expansive desert vistas, and a spectacular panorama of twinkling city lights.Three generously proportioned bedroom suites offer exceptional privacy, luxury, and comfort, while a private study adjoining the primary suite provides a quiet and intimate retreat. Throughout the residence, monumental scale is balanced by understated elegance, exceptional materials, and exquisite craftsmanship. Distinctive architectural elements, including antique interior doors sourced from Holler & Saunder, contribute to the home's remarkable character and timeless appeal.The estate's magnificent grounds are equally extraordinary. Conceived and executed by celebrated landscape designer Tom Black of Plants of Distinction, the landscaping represented an investment exceeding $1 million at the time of its original installation more than two decades ago. Today, the mature landscape is a testament to the extraordinary vision and investment behind its creation, seamlessly integrating the architecture with its natural surroundings while providing a spectacular setting for outdoor living and entertaining. The result is a carefully orchestrated landscape that celebrates the beauty of the Sonoran Desert without comp
