Property Description

Dr. Andrew Weil's 85-Acre Sanctuary One-of-a-kind 85-AC has 2 creeks w/old growth native sycamores and cottonwoods. Rich riparian area with abundant wildlife in the midst of saguaro desert. Abundant water. Water table is at 30-60', higher than in almost any other location in the greater Tucson area. Property is bounded on 2 sides by Saguaro Nat'l Park East w/easy access to hiking trails and the spectacular Madrona Pools. The site was heavily settled by Hohokam peoples, who lived here continuously from 100-1,100 A.D. Their pottery and other artifacts are common on the property. The site is historic. Mexican families began ranching here in the late 1800s. The main house dates from 1923 and was headquarters of one of southern Arizonas largest cattle ranches. (X9 was the cattle brand.) The office, dating from 1935, was originally a barn and stable; it has been restored to show off the original stone and wood. Dr. Weil, the present owner, has done much landscaping w/rare cactuses, ornamental trees, and fruit trees, all on irrigation. Well water is softened at the source w/a state-of-the art system. There is a 40'x40', fully enclosed and protected organic vegetable & flower garden w/excellent soil, irrigation + heating & cooling for year-round protection. Adjacent to it is a fully equipped greenhouse. A spectacular stone labyrinth, much photographed for magazines and television, provides opportunities for walking, relaxation, and meditation. A large treehouse in a native sycamore overlooks Chiminea Wash. Swimming pool is purified with a nonchlorine, copper/silver ion system and heated by both solar and optional propane, with a semi-automatic, high-quality insulating cover. 4,235 SF Main house has an excellent steam room, on-demand water heaters, and a classic walk-in cooler for food storage. This compound is complete with guest houses, caretaker dwellings, office & a dedicated home theater room totaling over 11,000 of living/work area. MLS# 20932320.
