Beautifully updated and situated within the prestigious guard-gated community of La Reserve in the heart of Oro Valley, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and resort-style living. Tucked away on a cul-de-sac with no rear or north-side neighbors and bordering a natural preserve area, the property captures the true essence of serene desert living at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Featuring 3 bedrooms plus a den and a versatile pool house/flex space, this home is especially unique with its private pool (built in 2008)—a rare find in La Reserve. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings welcome you into an elegant living room and formal dining area, complemented by a warm family room with fireplace and a beautifully remodeled kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Major updates include roof underlayment & poly pipe replacement, and a new HVAC system (2024). The pool is enhanced with solar heating coils and a built-in electric cover, while the separate casita-like addition offers endless flexibility as a pool house, playroom, office, gym or storage room .
The backyard is a true retreat, complete with a covered patio, outdoor barbecue kitchen with Bar area, and exceptional privacy, while Bulldog security screens on all windows and doors provide added peace of mind. Beyond the home, La Reserve delivers an unmatched lifestyle—set against the dramatic backdrop of Pusch Ridge and surrounded by the natural beauty of Catalina State Park and the Coronado National Forest. Residents enjoy close proximity to El Conquistador Golf, Oro Valley Marketplace’s shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as Naranja Park’s pickleball courts, sports fields, archery range, dog park, playground, splashpad and walking and bike paths. Optional membership at the Hilton El Conquistador Resort further elevates the experience with access to a fitness center, resort-style pools, tennis courts, discounted spa and dining. With an extremely low solar lease of approximately $125/month including electric, this home combines efficiency, elegance, and the very best of Arizona living.
