Home sits on 3.32 acres down a short gravel drive. Built of mud adobe and straw bale, blanketed with stucco, this Tucson gem reflects all that one expects in a Southwestern home. The colors, the interesting little niches, the design, Saltillo tile, vega ceiling beams, all bring the character and charisma...''On a clear day, you can see forever...'' Those lyrics have never rung more true than when you are looking at 360 views of the mountain ranges and city lights of Tucson from your Rooftop patio! Home sits on 3.32 acres down a short gravel drive. Built of mud adobe and straw bale, blanketed with stucco, this Tucson gem reflects all that one expects in a Southwestern home. The colors, the interesting little niches, the design, Saltillo tile, vega ceiling beams, all bring the character and charisma you would expect to this lovely home. Located at the base of the Tucson Mtns, minutes from I-10 and Saguaro National Park West; private, yet close to all of Tucson, shopping, & fine restaurants. Has been used as an owner's getaway as well as VRBO for many years.
