If pictures appear dark or muddy on your screen increase brightness and contrast settings. Pictures are optimized for computer viewing. Main Entrance. The aggregate concrete walk with railroad tie spacers takes you through the lovely natural desert setting with many native and exotic plants. Here you pass the entrance to the rock spa with waterfall and the scale model of the Ventana Canyon Waterfall which graces that fine resort. Constructed by former owner/builder Merv Larsen to demonstrate the way he would build the full scale artificial rock falls at the resort. This is a working model of the falls with flowing water cascading down the rock face. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

Welcome! Large wooden bridge beams create the floor for the entry porch. Above old telephone poles [some with partial metal addresses] support the natural native wood roof. All this sets the stage for the experience that envelopes you in this beautiful home.

The Formal Living Room is recessed and features a large fireplace. A wonderful spot in which to relax and watch television or read. It is surrounded by a large gallery walkway perfect for displaying art. It has two walls of windows allowing natural light in from the private back Patio area. The gallery area is large enough to acommodate the baby grand piano, seen across the room in this photo, and the built in bar next to the door leading to the kitchen. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

The kitchen is very large with space for meal preparation for family and guests. This photo shows one of the two dining tables in the room and the large fireplace. This is one of 12 fireplaces on the property. The doors lead to the Patio and main Rock Pool area. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

The Master Bedroom with stairs leading to the loft. This room is large with a window that spans the two floors of this suite. Its bath has both a unique sunken tub area and shower. Most of the furnisings are included with the property.

The loft for the master bedroom features its own kitchen and fireplace. Windows on both sides of the room offer sweeping views of the surrounding desert and mountains and make the space light and airy. The door leads to the West Balcony.

The West Balcony is one of several, offering incredible sweeping views of the adjacent Saguaro National Park and surrounding areas. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

The backyard Patio has several distinct areas. Shown here is the brick open area but just out of view behind the columns is a private barbeque and table area. Adjacent to this photo is a large raised firepit and area for seating. All of this is accessed from the house through several doors. The wooden footbridge at the bottom of the picture takes you to the spectacular swimming pool. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

The main swimming pool is one of two both of which have waterfalls. This photo does not do justice to the pool area. It is large and has a deep diving area plus a walk-in capability at the shallow end. The water cascades down the rock face and the plants at waters edge give the feel of being in a secluded, hidden desert oasis. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour.

The two Guest Houses are removed from the main house. Each has two bedrooms and a large living room plus a full kitchen and a two car carport. There are unique bathrooms, one with a river-rock tub surround. Both have great views from large windows but still offer privacy from each other because of the way they are situated. The entire 37+ acres with all its structures provides an incredible retreat that is just minutes from town and adjacent to the Saguaro National Park. For a more comprehensive view of this area take the Virtual Tour. You will also see the interior of one of the Guest Houses in the Virtual Tour.
