Perched on nearly 15 private acres, this exceptional home was strategically positioned in a linear fashion to embrace unobstructed southern exposure and deliver breathtaking Mountain, Valley, and City Light views from every room.

The interiors are designed to complement, not compete with, the surrounding landscape—offering serenity, texture, and natural light throughout.

And while privacy is paramount, this property also provides seamless access to the world-class lifestyle that Desert Mountain is known for—including seven championship golf courses, nine restaurants, a spa and fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, and over 20 miles of private hiking trails.

Soaring above the ordinary, 1720 W Cessna Way is a one-of-a-kind offering in the prestigious La Cholla Airpark—a 7.23-acre fly-in estate that invites you to embrace a lifestyle of freedom, functionality, and refined desert living. Whether you’re a pilot, horse enthusiast, car collector, or someone seeking space, privacy, and possibility, this property delivers an unmatched experience for those who live life without limits.

Enter through a long, gated driveway framed by a striking timber entryway and discover not just a home—but an estate. Two separately renovated residences offer exceptional flexibility for luxurious daily living, multi-generational needs, guest accommodations, or integrated workspace. The main home, a reimagined burnt adobe ranch-style residence, has been thoughtfully modernized with an open floor plan and abundant natural light streaming through new metal-clad windows and doors. Panoramic views of the Tortolita Mountains and Pusch Ridge frame nearly every room. The chef’s kitchen features a waterfall granite peninsula, custom cabinetry, new appliances, a butler’s pantry, and beautifully curated fixtures. The interiors are polished with ceramic tile floors throughout, extensive decorative tilework, and stylishly updated bathrooms. A cozy family room with gas fireplace opens to the kitchen for easy entertaining, while the north and south patios offer covered, shaded outdoor living with unobstructed views. Attached is a 2-car garage with generous built-in storage and a large storage room.

Just steps away, the second residence—once a fully functional aircraft hangar—has been transformed into a sophisticated and versatile living space, complete with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two offices, a new kitchen, a laundry room, and two additional garage bays. This structure can continue serving as a guest house or executive retreat, or be converted back into an aircraft hangar—original hangar doors convey—ready for your personal plane or custom automotive collection. Whether you envision a private workspace, creative studio, or a functional aviation hub, the possibilities are endless.

For aviation enthusiasts, the true luxury is the direct access to La Cholla’s 4,500-foot paved and lighted private runway—offering the freedom to take off and land right from your backyard. This is a rare opportunity for true fly-in, fly-out living with no compromises on comfort or style.

The expansive lot allows room for equestrian amenities as well, with space to add stables, arenas, turnout areas, and ample trailer and RV parking. The well-designed site supports large-scale storage and development, whether for horses, hobbies, or additional building.

Beyond the property lines, this home is ideally located in Oro Valley, recently ranked the “Safest and Wealthiest Retirement Community” in the country by GoBankingRates.com. Just minutes away are world-class recreational destinations like Catalina State Park, the Stone Canyon Club—ranked among Golf Digest’s Top 100 U.S. courses—and The Clubs at Dove Mountain, including The Gallery and Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facilities, fine dining, and boutique shopping are woven throughout the area, enhanced by Arizona’s year-round beauty.

1720 W Cessna Way is more than a property—it’s a lifestyle destination where aviation, equestrian freedom, and sophisticated desert living converge. With versatile structures, sweeping views, and direct runway access, this is a home for those who dream beyond the horizon.
