About This Property

Set at the end of a winding, private gated gravel drive, high on a ridge overlooking the city below with Finger Rock towering above, this magnificent estate occupies one of the Catalina Foothills' finest view lots. From its commanding perch, sweeping vistas stretch across the Tucson Valley toward Baboquivari Peak and, on the clearest days, all the way to Mexico. It is easy to understand why the original owners chose this extraordinary home site nearly a century ago. Encompassing more than eight acres atop a saguaro-studded hilltop, the estate lies within the magical and coveted ''Old Foothills,'' where money whispers and life seems to move at a slower, more gracious pace. At its heart is an extraordinary 1936 residence designed by renowned Swiss-born architect Josias Joesler,
