Soldier Trail Estates Community
The Soldier Trail Estates market consists of luxury single-family estates that offer a high “value-per-square-foot” compared to larger gated communities in the Catalina Foothills. Most homes were designed to capture the unobstructed mountain views that define the area, often featuring expansive windows and thoughtful outdoor living spaces.
Because there are only six lots in the subdivision, inventory is extremely rare. When a home does hit the market, it tends to move very quickly due to the combination of gated security and the Tanque Verde lifestyle. Note that while the lots are large, the CC&Rs specifically prohibit horses, making this a pure residential luxury play rather than an equestrian one.
