The Estate of Legendary Arizona Philanthropist, Developer Donald Diamond and his wife, Joan Diamond.
Diamond, born in New York, moved to Arizona in 1965 and attended the University of Arizona. He served in the community and was involved in civic issues throughout the state. His estate is located within the exclusive high-end guard-gated community of The Canyons, a community Diamond himself developed in Tucson.
Completed in 1982, the Spanish Colonial estate is made from burnt adobe imported from Mexico. The estate displays Diamond’s love for traditional Mexico with murals including a Mexican market and Mexican landscapes throughout, painted by renowned artist, Andrew Rush.
“It’s unlike any other house I’ve seen in
Tucson. The timeless Adobe style is ideal for entertaining and even
though it’s a large house, it’s warm and inviting,” said Helaine Levy, Diamond’s
daughter.
The estate, which offers impressive views and exclusive
privacy, is listed for $4.5 million. Prospective buyers also have an option to
purchase five adjacent
parcels along with the estate. Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty agents Bryan Durkin and Anne Ferro are listing this one-of-a-kind luxury home and property in Tucson’s most elite and coveted neighborhood.
