Designed by renowned architect Marc Soloway, this exceptional residence sits on 3.3 acres of rare, flat, fully usable land in the heart of Oro Valley.Solid masonry construction offers durability and timeless appeal.Walls of windows frame breathtaking views of Pusch Ridge, the Catalina Mountains,city lights & spectacular Arizona sunsets. Soloway's signature curved design creates a seamless flow between living spaces while blending indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtful split floorplan provides privacy for owners and guests alike. Enjoy 2,208 sq ft of covered patio space, expansive flagstone patios, a resort-style grotto pool, heated spa with cascading waterfalls, mature landscaping, and exceptional privacy. Multiuse path access to Naranja Park, trails, library, schools, dining & shopping Beyond the architecture, the true rarity of this estate is the land itself. Flat, fully usable acreage of this size is increasingly difficult to find in Oro Valley, where many luxury homes are built on steep or heavily terraced lots. Here, the grounds function as an extension of the residence, creating a private compound surrounded by mature landscaping, flowering oleanders, and dramatic outdoor living spaces. Walls of glass blur the line between indoors and outdoors, filling the home with natural light and framing views in every direction. The covered patios and expansive flagstone terraces invite year-round entertaining, quiet mornings watching the sunrise over the Catalinas, and evenings spent enjoying the city lights and the soothing sound of cascading water from the spa and pool. Ideally situated across from Naranja Park and connected by a new multiuse path, the property offers convenient access to trails, recreation, the Oro Valley Library, dining, and shopping while maintaining a sense of privacy rarely found in such a central location. Combining renowned architecture, solid masonry construction, mature grounds, and a truly irreplaceable homesite, this residence represents a rare opportunity in the Oro Valley luxury market.
