36 Creekside Acres Adjacent to the Coronado National Forest - $2,295,000

A rare offering within the exclusive, gated Rattlesnake Canyon Estates, this extraordinary 36.2-acre creekside property borders the Coronado National Forest and sits adjacent to Sabino Canyon, delivering unmatched privacy, scale, and proximity in one of Tucson’s most coveted foothills settings. Built in 1956 and known as the “Rock House,” the iconic residence was crafted from chipped stone sourced directly from the land, reflecting remarkable architectural authenticity. The estate includes a 2,290-square-foot main home, a 765-square-foot guest casita, and an oversized two-car garage, all accessed by a private gated entry and long paver-lined drive. Notably, this is the only property in Rattlesnake Canyon Estates with both a private well and city water—an exceptional distinction.

Sited high within the canyon, the property commands close-up Catalina Mountain views, sweeping valley and city lights, and dramatic desert sunrises and sunsets. Terraced stone patios, a charming pond, seasonal creek, and custom metalwork details create extraordinary indoor-outdoor living, enhanced by hand-hewn beams, carved doors, a stacked-stone fireplace, and Marvin windows. With direct access to endless hiking and biking trails—and located between the Sabino and Ventana Canyon corridors just minutes from premier resorts, dining, and golf—this is a singular opportunity within a gated enclave of only five expansive parcels, offering a truly irreplaceable piece of the Sonoran Desert.
