5500 W Chaos Canyon Lane
Tucson, AZ 85745

Enjoy privacy you've never dreamt of owning with land that is nestled at the edge of Saguaro National Park and the Tucson Mountain range. Have your very own private ''resort'' hidden at the end of the road in secluded (but accessible) Chaos Canyon " where the chaos ends and calming begins. Claim your space (and a new Tesla Cybertruck - or equivalent). The property is the intersection of an old-world Mediterranean estate with new-world modern sophistication and amenities. The long and lighted rustic estate driveway greets you with rising Rhyolite stone walls on either side, setting the tone for this solid and bright contemporary property that sits on about 6 acres. Built in 1997/1998 the property was purchased in November 2021 and then remediated and remodeled (actively from January 2022) through to about November 2023 and was not lived fully in until mid-November 2023. The goal of the remodel was to investigate and remediate any issues, to update, and to remodel the property with a simple and understated elegance using contrasting materials that form a muted canvass for any interior designs. There's no HOA (although there are neighborhood covenants with two other properties to protect you so you can have peace and protections at your own private getaway). The property aesthetically offsets ruggedness of materials with elegant refinement and captures the very essence of Arizona as the American Southwest, having stunning views of the saguaro-forested green desert and the mountains towering above it to the south and the west, and views of city lights and U of A to the east at night. The property offers 4 bedrooms and 4 baths and has 4225 SF of total living space, a 311 SF covered patio off the main kitchen supported with 150-year-old reclaimed oak timbers from a barn in Montana and a wood-burning fireplace for patio warming, together with a new industrial misting system installed in 2023 for patio cooling. The property has 3 fireplaces, all dual fuel (gas or wood). (In the dining room there's also a 150-year-old reclaimed barnwood dining table mounted on a concrete pillar with steel beams). The finished garage is 676 SF with its own AC with space for a workshop and it has ceiling racks for ample storage with new polyaspartic floors and 10 LED panel fixtures for a very bright garage (color temperature and dimming adjustable). There are brand new garage overhead doors plated with Corten steel with a sealed perimeter to prevent insects and critters. There are no homes in your views to the south and only one in view to the west in the distance, and a neighbor over the hill to the north-east. The views eastward include some homes quite a distance off from this beautifully appointed property that contains stunning landscaping in its own right, including extensive custom outdoor pathway lighting, many mesquite, palo verde, and other trees (Texas Laurel, several species of palms, a cinnamon tree, olive tree, etc.) and shrubs (rosemary, jojoba, Texas ranger, Spanish lavender, etc.) combined with elegant cacti bisected by a stone pathway and aesthetically rusted steel railings. All yards except the front landscaped yard are enclosed with rock walls and/or custom metal & cable fences and gates. There's also a culinary garden outside the kitchen window as part of the landscaping. Outdoor sitting areas are almost everywhere amidst the lush landscaping and as well on porches and around the very large swimming pool. A Zen-like garden graces the west-northwest side of the property with a heated Japanese soaking tub, a heated outdoor shower, and a private sitting and dining area. The main structures of the property - interior and exterior - and the pool design and placement were uniquely designed by award-winning architect Rob Paulus on an arc radius (see bird's-eye aerial photos) and it has been featured in design magazines and a popular music artist filmed a music video hit song at the property. The structures on the property are built on a ra
