Southwestern Architecture on an Acre of Natural Desert

Situated on over an acre of natural desert studded with iconic Saguaro cactus, this territorial-style home, designed c.1956 by renowned architect Lewis Hall, is a true masterpiece of Southwestern architecture. A unique zaguan entry creates a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors, inviting natural light to flow throughout the home and providing a perfect transition from the desert landscape, into the home, and out to the central courtyard.The home’s spacious interior features a large fireplace, a stunning centerpiece, and exposed beamed ceilings that enhance the open, airy feel of the living spaces. The beautiful Saltillo tile floors add rich, earthy tones and timeless Southwestern charm. Every detail, from the adobe walls and beamed butterfly roof to the expansive walls of glass, speaks to the craftsmanship and beauty of this one-of-a-kind design. The central courtyard serves as the heart of the home, offering a private outdoor retreat that blends effortlessly with the interior living areas. Each of the bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with large sliding glass doors, providing direct access to the outdoor spaces and the inviting pool area. This feature creates the perfect combination of indoor comfort and outdoor leisure, offering a resort-like atmosphere right at your doorstep. The detached studio, for the past 20 years, has been the creative space for weaving stunning rugs, handmade paper, and paintings. The next stewards of this property can continue this creative tradition or explore new possibilities, such as a home office (not as exciting ) , or guest quarters. The home also features an oversized attached two-car garage with built-in storage, while the studio offers a carport and an additional one-car garage. All of this is set against the backdrop of the stunning Sonoran Desert, where the home offers both privacy and a deep connection to the natural beauty of the land. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, entertaining guests in the courtyard, or enjoying the warmth of the fireplace inside, this home presents a rare opportunity to experience the perfect fusion of desert living and sophisticated Southwestern design.
