About this home
Behind a private gate and situated on over six acres, this estate stands as a testament to Josias Joesler's architectural imagination. Thick adobe walls, hand-formed and enduring, rise against the desert sky, while clay tile roofs and smooth white plaster walls give the home a presence that is both timeless and grounded. The landscape feels inseparable from the architecture: courtyards, patios, and terraces are carefully composed to catch light, frame views of the Catalina Mountains, and draw the desert inside, where every room has a sense of connection and flow. Walking through the grounds, there is a feeling of quiet discovery, as if the house reveals itself gradually, its history embedded in the weight and texture of its walls. Inside, the estate is defined by material richness, with hand-troweled plaster and exposed wood beams introducing warmth, texture, and rhythm, while custom millwork and artisan-crafted details articulate the hand of the maker. Terracotta tile flooring stretches through the principal rooms, grounding the interior in an organic dialogue with the desert beyond. Decorative tiles, subtly placed, punctuate hallways, kitchens, and baths, offering moments of craftsmanship and tactility that hint at the house's romantic revival lineage. Light is treated as a design element: carefully positioned picture windows and walls of glass frame the mountains and courtyard, drawing in the changing moods of the day and allowing interiors to shift from intimate sanctuary to luminous gathering spaces.
The kitchen is both functional and expressive, a space that feels naturally central. A generous island of polished stone, streaked with striking blue-green veins, commands attention without overwhelming, while custom wood cabinetry balances warmth and refinement. Glass-front display units provide lightness, and pendant lights in aged metal and glass introduce moments of rhythm and presence, echoing the lines of the exposed beams above. Here, cooking, conversation, and quiet reflection coexist seamlessly; the room feels alive yet grounded, a space built for everyday life as much as for entertaining.
Living and dining areas continue this interplay of openness and intimacy. Interiors flow directly to patios, covered porches, and outdoor rooms, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. Each transition is deliberate, each threshold designed to frame a view, offer shade, or create a pause. The pool sits within a broad natural stone terrace, providing ample room for lounging and dining, while pergolas with substantial wood posts, built-in seating, and outdoor kitchens establish zones for gathering. Desert-adapted plantings, mature trees, and careful landscaping create privacy and serenity, making the grounds feel simultaneously expansive and protected.
The estate feels like a world of its own, a desert sanctuary where space and tranquility define every moment. Yet this sense of seclusion is perfectly balanced: within minutes, the city's most vibrant experiences are at your doorstep. La Encantada's boutique shopping and fine dining, midtown's cafés and galleries, and downtown Tucson's cultural heartbeat are all just moments away. Here, the rare intimacy of private desert living coexists effortlessly with immediate access to the city's best amenities, creating a balance that transforms everyday life into something both serene and effortlessly connected.
