Established in 1775 by Spanish soldiers, there?s no doubt that Tucson sizzles with more than her share of man-made beauty, from championship golf courses and amenity-rich guest ranches to a top-of-the-mountain snow ski resort and high-class restaurants and first-class resorts. Tucson also is a huge market for luxury homes including sensational estates tucked into winding foothills, dramatic homes nestled in natural desert settings and spectacular mansions that easily rival those found in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley when it comes to elegance, style and savoir faire. Meanwhile, for those so inclined, gorgeous golf course communities as well as sprawling horse properties dot sections of the Tucson real estate landscape.

Surrounded by a quintet of breathtaking mountain ranges, including the Santa Catalina Mountains, the Rincon Mountains, the Tucson Mountains, the Tortolita Mountains and the Santa Rita Mountains, Tucson sits at an elevation of nearly 2,400 feet above sea level and is bordered by state parks, national forests and the awe-inspiring splendor of Saguaro National Park. Golfers will enjoy a perpetual smile a mile wide thanks to an abundance of championship courses in and around the city.

Arts, culture and tons of outdoor fun are all important to Tucson?s laidback ambience, which embodies a liberal blend of southwestern sophistication combined with plenty of spunk and spirit. To wit, the city is home to a ballet company, opera, theater and symphony, and seasonal gem shows are regularly held, as are culinary festivals, street fairs and hot air balloon rallies.

But what really sets Tucson apart is the magnificence of Mother Nature that envelopes the city like a loving embrace. Awash with midnight-black night skies, incredible mountain vistas, cliff-side canyons and forests of statuesque saguaros, this dramatic desert city is truly an amazing place to live, work and play ? and Russ Lyon Sotheby?s International Realty is proud to become part of her circle of friends.
