Walls of windows open toward the northeast and the infinity-edge pool beyond, while beautifully crafted Ramada-inspired eyebrows filter the Arizona sunlight and add architectural depth and character.
The chef's kitchen is exceptionally appointed with a stainless-steel Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf six-burner gas range with two ovens and griddle, stainless-steel hood, two Bosch dishwashers, and two sinks. A generous breakfast nook provides an inviting setting for casual dining, morning coffee, or intimate gatherings. Extending directly from the kitchen and breakfast nook is a substantial Butler's pantry, thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday functionality. It features a Scotsman ice maker, wet bar, an additional Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, extensive walls of cabinetry, and a built-in desk--providing remarkable preparation, serving, storage, and workspace.
The primary suite offers a private retreat with a luxurious ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a towel warmer. Throughout the residence, four gas fireplaces create warmth and ambiance, thoughtfully placed in the great room, primary suite, kitchen nook, and a woodburning fireplace at the outdoor gathering area near the backyard Ramada.
Outdoor living is an integral part of the home's design. The infinity-edge swimming pool creates a dramatic focal point against the surrounding mountain panorama, while covered patios, Ramada-style outdoor spaces, mature landscaping, and multiple gathering areas extend the living experience into the landscape. From leisurely afternoons poolside to evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace, the setting is equally captivating beneath the brilliant Arizona sun or an expansive canopy of stars.
The separate 1,262-square-foot guest house offers a beautifully appointed private retreat, featuring a great room, kitchen, dining area, and a thoughtful split-bedroom design with two bedrooms, both with its own ensuite bath and one with a private patio. Ideal for extended family, guests, multigenerational living, or simply creating a peaceful space apart from the main residence, the guest house adds a rare degree of flexibility to the estate.
A remarkable four-car tandem garage with approximately 14-foot-high clearance provides abundant room for vehicles, recreational equipment, RVs, workshop space, or storage. A side covered patio/storage area further enhances the property's utility, with potential for additional covered parking. A helicopter pad is available for medic-emergencies, and the neighborhood is equine friendly.
This is a rare Southwestern estate where architecture, acreage, privacy, dramatic mountain scenery, and sophisticated indoor-outdoor living converge. Close to the historic artist colony of Tubac with a thriving art scene, restaurants and boutique shops, 150 Canyon Pass Court offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience a refined Arizona lifestyle surrounded by beauty, serenity, and wide-open skies.
