About this home
Pasos del Cielo - A Timeless Southwestern Hacienda
Welcome to Pasos del Cielo--''Steps to Heaven''--a truly rare Southwestern estate where timeless hacienda architecture, expansive grounds, and exceptional amenities create the feeling of a private resort. Set on more than four secluded acres, this extraordinary property is equally suited to quiet retreats, memorable entertaining, and multigenerational living. Perfectly positioned between the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, Miraval, and Oro Valley, it offers privacy and seclusion while remaining perfectly poised for access to world-class golf, dining, and resort amenities. A meandering, gated drive winds gracefully through the property, touching every corner of the estate before arriving at the magnificent 5,000+ square-foot hacienda, tucked within its own private compound beneath towering mesquite, ironwood, palo verde, and mature palm trees. More than 40 majestic saguaros, native flowering gardens, sculptural agaves, citrus , and trees, quiet natural spaces create an ever-changing landscape alive with birds, butterflies, and unforgettable desert sunsets beneath star-filled evening skies.
The home is filled with natural light and rich architectural details, including Saltillo tile floors, custom carved mesquite doors, handcrafted cabinetry, exposed viga beams, and distinctive Talavera accents, while a dramatic tiled staircase leads to a view balcony overlooking the surrounding desert.
At the heart of the home, the large kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with beautiful tilework, an expansive entertainer's island, butler sink, custom cabinetry with display centers, and views stretching toward the Tucson Mountains and the gorgeous patio beyond.
The home's thoughtful floor plan includes five bedrooms (one set-up as a charming library) and dedicated office, creating abundant space for family, guests, and entertaining. Gather around the traditional wood-burning hearth stove or the striking Talavera-surround fireplace complete with its original wood box--details that celebrate the home's enduring craftsmanship and romantic hacienda character.
The second-floor primary suite is a world unto itself, offering the feeling of a private retreat within the home. The spacious bedroom includes a comfortable sitting area, an oversized closet, and a beautifully appointed bath, all surrounded by 360-degree views that bring the desert landscape into the experience of everyday living. It is a space where you could easily linger all day, yet one that makes waking up here feel like a dream.
Complementing the main residence is a beautifully appointed 750+ square-foot detached one-bedroom casita, offering complete independence with its own full kitchen featuring hickory cabinetry, travertine flooring, stone accent walls, and spacious living quarters. Ideal for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living, the casita is positioned within one of the property's most tranquil settings and feels like a private nature preserve.
Outdoor living is equally exceptional. The estate centers around a spectacular 3,000+ square-foot pool courtyard featuring a stunning 50-foot heated pool surrounded by flagstone patios, a classic Spanish fountain, multiple firepit gathering areas, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces. The adjacent pool house includes a bathroom, wet bar, and steam sauna, creating a resort-like setting for pool days, gatherings, and relaxing evenings under the stars.
The grounds were thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Raised planters await herb and vegetable gardens, while pomegranate, orange, grapefruit, and other citrus trees provide seasonal harvests. Wide driveways and pathways offer effortless access throughout the estate, connecting the home, casita, pool, gardens, equestrian facilities, and outdoor spaces.
For those who appreciate the equestrian lifestyle, the property offers exceptional horse facilities, including six horse stalls, a spacious tack room with room for up to eight saddles, and a dedicated riding arena. Thoughtful planning extends throughout the grounds, including intentional water drainage that feeds a pond area, creating beauty while enhancing the property's functionality.
Additional amenities include a three-car garage, potting workshop area, abundant outdoor gathering spaces, and exceptional privacy--all framed by the dramatic beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
Pasos del Cielo is more than a home--it is a rare compound designed for the way people truly want to live: a private retreat, an extraordinary setting for entertaining, and a welcoming multigenerational property with room for family and guests to have their own space. Add the equestrian facilities, mature desert landscape, resort-style pool setting, and spectacular mountain views, and the result is a property that is difficult to replicate and even harder to forget....
