1.46 Acres

Tucson, Arizona, 85718

Rare Land. Real History. Dream Home Ready. A piece of Tucson history and the opportunity of a lifetime. This 1.46~acre lot in the Coronado Foothills Estates subdivision in the coveted Catalina Foothills was the original cook shack for the Pontatoc Mine described by the Arizona Daily Star in 1906 as ''an immense copper bonanza.'' The mine shaft sits just 100' to the North, and the road to the property was built by the mine owners themselves to haul ore by mule wagon to the Tucson Railroad Depot. When the mine closed in 1918, the Pontatoc Mine Engineer bought the land and the surrounding 116 acres, choosing this lot as his own. That legacy passed through just two families over the next century and now can be yours. Approved plans for a one-of-a kind custom home are already in hand. The lot flat, buildable, and perfectly positioned, tucked near the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, with breathtaking sunrise, sunset, mountain and city views stretching across the valley. Towering Saguaros, ancient Mesquite trees and mature Palo Verdes create a landscape that feels untouched, giving the property a quiet, serene beauty that is increasingly rare in today's Tucson. You'll feel miles away from it all, yet you're just minutes from Skyline Country Club, La Paloma, La Encantada, and the best dining and shopping Tucson has to offer. Room for a pool, guest house and more. This is not a lot, it is a legacy waiting for its next chapter
