An Architectural Masterpiece by Rick Joy;
Quite simply one of the finest examples of modern architecture anywhere in the Southwest, this
dramatic Pima Canyon residence designed by internationally acclaimed architect, Rick Joy, is as
much a work of art as it is a home. Privately situated on 1.12 acres within the prestigious guard-
gated enclave of Pima Canyon Estates, this extraordinary property represents a remarkable
convergence of architectural brilliance, understated sophistication, and the breathtaking natural
beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Renowned for his extraordinary ability to create architecture that
seems to rise naturally from the landscape, Joy designed this residence with an artist's eye and a
remarkable understanding of the desert in which it sits. Bold geometric forms, dramatic walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, beautifully executed natural materials, and an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow create an experience that is both visually striking and surprisingly intimate. The magnificent Catalina Mountains provide a spectacular backdrop, with unobstructed views up the Canyon that become an integral part of the architecture itself. Remarkably true to its original design, the residence has been meticulously well maintained by its current stewards and still retains the purity and integrity of Joy's architectural vision. Beautifully milled walnut cabinetry, distinctive Ameristone walls, sophisticated finishes, and thoughtfully proportioned living spaces reflect a level of sophistication and attention to detail rarely encountered today. Nothing feels excessive or unnecessary. Instead, every element has a purpose, creating an atmosphere of quiet confidence and timeless design.
The thoughtfully conceived floor plan includes a privately situated primary suite at the north end of the residence, with a beautifully designed spa-like bath featuring a dramatic glass-enclosed shower illuminated by natural light from above. The kitchen, with its custom walnut cabinetry and generous linear counter space, features Wolf, Viking &; Sub Zero appliances and flows seamlessly into the main living areas and an outdoor grilling station. Additional rooms include a private home office with custom walnut cabinetry that can also serve as an en-suite bedroom, a media room with a walnut TV surround and built-in speakers along with a gas fireplace, and a versatile studio ideal for yoga, art or home exercise which opens through expansive sliding glass doors to a gated courtyard. A separate guest suite with its own private exterior entrance enjoys the same level of finishes and breathtaking Catalina Mountain views offering exceptional privacy for ones guest.
Once you step outdoors, the architectural beauty continues with thoughtfully designed courtyards, natural desert landscaping, and a beautifully positioned heated lap pool reflecting the mountains towering above and the expansive desert sky. Above it all, a spectacular rooftop terrace offers panoramic mountain vistas, dramatic sunsets, and the twinkling city lights below- a very rare find in Pima Canyon! An oversized three-car garage and a substantial solar energy system further complement the home.

In a world where so many homes are designed to follow the latest trends, this one was designed to transcend them. More than two decades after its completion, Joy's original vision remains remarkably compelling, a testament to the enduring beauty of truly exceptional architecture. For the discerning buyer who understands that true luxury is not measured by excess, but by exceptional design, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic and significant architectural work by one of the Southwest's most celebrated architects. A truly extraordinary offering in one of Tucson's most coveted communities.

Greg Fahr of Fahr Associates Architects designed this 3,338 sq. ft. contemporary home to sit lightly on an elevated 1.43-acre Sonoran Desert parcel in gated Enclave at Gates Pass, surrounded by native saguaros and open desert. Its orientation was chosen for the views: Tucson's skyline glows to the east after dark, and the Tucson Mountains catch the evening color to the west.

Everyday living happens on one level, with no steps from the upper 2-car garage to the bedrooms. That level holds an open great room with tall ceilings and expansive glass, an island kitchen made for cooking and gathering, a primary suite with a spa bath, a second en-suite room that works as a guest suite or office, a powder room, and laundry. A patio runs along the great room and primary suite, looking out over the valley.

Stairs or an elevator lead down to a lower level with a large rec room, two more bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a second 2-car garage. There are 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in all, and every bedroom has a walk-in closet.

Because the home hasn't been built yet, you pick every finish, and a $150,000 landscaping allowance is included to create the outdoor space you want, whether that's a pool, a backyard retreat, desert landscaping out front, or all three.
