Property Description
Perched on a prized ridge in prestigious Alta Vista, 5887 E Placita Alta Reposa offers a rare opportunity to own a single-level luxury estate with sweeping 360° mountain, desert, and city-light views. From sunrise over the Catalina Mountains to glowing sunsets behind the Santa Ritas, this home delivers a daily experience that photos simply can't capture.
A dramatic arched portico sets the tone, welcoming you into a beautifully crafted Mediterranean-inspired retreat where elegance and warmth coexist. Inside, 4,251 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space unfolds with Italian tile flooring, soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, arched doorways, and walls of Pella French doors that blur the line between indoors and the Sonoran landscape beyond.
The great room is nothing short of spectaculardesigned to gather, entertain, and relax while nature becomes your backdrop. Native wildlife, mature desert plantings, and panoramic views create a sense of peaceful seclusion just minutes from Ventana and Sabino Canyon trailheads.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen was built for both function and connection: induction-top island, double ovens, wine refrigerator, ice maker, dual sinks, granite countertops, and abundant cabinetry with oversized pantry storage. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a sunny breakfast nook and formal dining roomperfect for everything from quiet mornings to holiday celebrations.
A split floor plan ensures privacy for all. The guest wing is ideal for visitors, while two separate officeseach with inspiring mountain viewsoffer flexibility for work, creativity, or additional entertaining (one includes a custom wet bar and pool views).
This home features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two primary suitesa rare and highly sought-after layout. The main owner's retreat is a true sanctuary with vaulted wood-planked ceilings, dramatic beam work, expansive Catalina views, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath with jetted soaking tub positioned beneath picture windows, oversized shower, and three vanities.
Step outside and the property truly shines. A full-length covered patio creates multiple outdoor living areas overlooking a resort-style free-form pool and elevated spa, complete with waterfall, Baja shelf (new 2024), natural boulder accents, and lush desert landscaping. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor space is unforgettable.
Recent upgrades include a brand-new 2025 roof and 2024 pool resurfacing. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with epoxy floors, abundant storage, quality Pella windows throughout, and an efficient 3-zone HVAC system.
