6452 N Rattlesnake Canyon Rd



















































Description
Rattlesnake Canyon in the Catalina Foothills is one of Tucson' most dramatic natural settings with gentle mountain slopes, cactus-laden rock walls, and exceptional city and mountain views that stretch for miles in every direction. The untouched saguaro-studded hills, and seasonal streams that carve through the canyon will captivate you. Set between two larger canyons, Sabino to the east and Ventana to the west, Rattlesnake Canyon and nearby Esperero Canyon are green jewels of the desert that deliver spectacular views of desert blooms amidst seasonal springs and natural pools. THE ARCHITECT
Ronald W. Robinette, A. I. A., is an acclaimed architect and designer recognized for his immense capabilities. Over a dozen times, he has won many popular awards, including "Best Architectural Design" at a prestigious custom home competition, "Street of Dreams," set in Tucson's Honeybee Canyon in 1998. He has also won the "Best in American Living" award and was nominated for "Architect of the Year" in Tucson. THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
John Stropko, New Desert Gallery has won countless awards on the local and national level and has been featured in numerous magazines.. He painstakingly created a remarkable desert landscape that blends naturally with the environment while achieving an unmatched level of desert design. THE PROPERTY
The beauty and grandeur of the Southwest landscape inspired this 73-acre property. Prior to building, the owners acquired two hillside parcels of land that combined, created this magnificent homesite . To build the home's foundation, landscape designer John Stropko had to remove 30 feet of solid rock, shifting the terrain in the perfect spot between the saddles of two large mountains. Robinette and Stropko worked together to create a masterful property that makes the house look like it was airdropped into the canyon without disturbing the natural beauty of the site. Across the property, you'll find freshly cut rocks, untouched landscaping, and expertly cured granite. The single-level, 5,700-square-foot main residence is thoughtfully designed for both privacy and balance, with the owner's suite occupying the west wing and two additional bedrooms positioned in the east wing. Refined materials-marble, travertine, and custom stonework-create a seamless connection between home's structure and aesthetics. These tones harmonize with the environment, and the abundant natural light reinforces the sense that the main house is an extension of the landscape. Terraces and patios unfold to magnificent canyon and mountain views, dissolving the boundary between home and desert landscape. Outdoor grilling, an inviting pool with a spa within, and a floating cactus garden create a pristine environment to enjoy the beautiful Tucson weather year-round. During the monsoon season, the desert blooms bring to life stunning green hues cast from the exterior into the interior for a remarkable display. The home is surrounded by a "giant umbrella," as the masterful architect Ron Robinette describes it. A 16-foot steel ramada with wood lattice shades covers the entire home, allowing it to capture the gentle breeze as it passes through the canyon while keeping it shaded. Within the complex is a 1,100-square-foot guesthouse in a style that matches the main house. For visitors coming to maintain the property, there is a small landscaper's den with climate-controlled storage and a private bathroom. Each mechanical room is controlled with air conditioning to maintain the appliances. In addition, the home features generators to keep the power running in case of an outage. ENTRANCE AND FOYER
Upon entry, you are greeted with a grand foyer with soaring floating ceilings, which sets the stage and welcomes you into the home. The massive custom metal front door features small windows and is framed by larger windows that stream in natural lighting on all sides. THE GREAT ROOM
In the great room, the massive fireplace anchors the space and the surround extends through the roofline and includes a concealed skylight that allows light to wash down. The warm tongue and groove ceiling balance the walls of glass and the stone flooring. It is a wonderful space to enjoy a casual meal or gather around the fireplace for conversation. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with exceptional views of the mountains to the north. There is ample pull-out storage, walnut cabinetry, and a Wolf gas range with a double oven and a flush mount hood vent that seamlessly integrates into the ceiling. In addition to the Sub-Zero refrigerator and the Miele dishwasher there are cooling and warming drawers, for entertaining. The mesquite wood breakfast bar is positioned to enjoy mountain views to the north through the window over the kitchen sink. BUTLER'S PANTRY
The butler's pantry offers two wine coolers and a hidden second kitchen. The distressed mirrored backsplash atop light marbled counters opens up the space for serving, storage, and a multitude of uses. A faucet about a foot off the floor with a drain is a convenient place to fill your dog bowls with water. There is a door out to the patio for convenience. THE ROOMS
Apart from the owner's suite, each additional room is generously sized, allowing space for a variety of uses, including a home office, home gym, or guest suite. Throughout the residence, custom drapery with a subtle metallic sheen enhances the design's interplay of raw, textured metals and smooth, polished finishes--creating a cohesive aesthetic of understated sophistication. THE OWNER'S SUITE
The owner's suite features a floating feature wall with shagreen leather panels. The delicate lighting throughout the room allows for adjustments to make the space comfortable and welcoming. The expansive closet is a show-stopping feature that offers ample space for clothing and accessories. Beyond the space for clothing is a fold-out ironing board, unique wall storage for handbags, and private jewelry storage. A large mirror can be expanded into three partitions offering full views. The owner's suite bathroom is complete with two of every feature. Both residents will have access to their own private vanity, sink, and shower. In the middle of the bathroom is a luxurious spa bathtub with exquisite views of the mountains and the desert landscape through a perfectly placed floor to ceiling window. OUTDOOR LIVING
Expansive wrap-around patios embrace the house, revealing something beautiful at every turn. The east terrace showcases a waterfall cascading through chiseled rock native to the homesite, while the south patio and yard feature a spool with a spa within and sweeping views that stretch to the Santa Rita Mountains--an ideal vantage point for watching monsoon storms light up the desert sky. Under the covered patio off of the kitchen area, the built-in Wolf BBQ invites outdoor dining and entertaining year-round. The north patio offers generous seating and mountain views, perfect for a relaxed luncheon, an early evening gathering, or a quiet afternoon immersed in a book while you soak up the sun. A 1.5 mile trail that loops around the property is enclosed by a six and half foot fence that provides privacy and security. THE GUEST HOUSE
Guests are welcomed into their private oasis through a large covered patio and entry door. The 1,100-square-foot guest house opens up to views that extend into a private back patio that overlook the city. By day, you can see Southern Arizona's many mountain ranges. By night, you can see the city lights flicker in the distance. Inside the guest house is a large living area complete with a small kitchenette. A large closet, bathroom, and sleeping area are in the bedroom suite. The imported glass on the doors and windows lines the main living area and bedroom, offers an elegant touch of quality and durability. The guest house has an ensuite bathroom with a large shower and a washer and dryer for your guests. The generous patio that extends to the south has city views that will make your guests want to extend their stay. A covered parking area is expertly carved out of the rock creating a natural barrier between the main house and guest house that feels ultra-private. PRIVACY AND PROXIMITY
Located on two lots spanning 73 acres, the one-level estate is concealed from view, allowing for privacy, protection, and stunning views over Tucson. The expansive front yard blends into the natural landscape, making it ideal for hosting events or soaking up the serene mountain views in total privacy. Located just minutes from the Canyon Ranch resort, Ventana Canyon resort, and Sabino Canyon recreation area, you can easily access golf, tennis, pickleball, hiking, biking or a day at one of the most recognized spas in the world within minutes of this property.
