Opulence and Serenity in Sonora
Just northwest of Tucson in the Dove Mountain luxury real estate area, owner and developer David Mehl of Cottonwood Properties has created a lifestyle to honor and embrace the natural landscape. An opulent and serene desert oasis, The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain captures an already spectacular locale and illuminates it with five-star service and every extravagant amenity under the bright, warm desert sun.
At Dove Mountain, outdoor living is as diverse as the wildlife and as pleasant as the evening cooing of the gentle Inca Doves that give this elegant enclave its name. Owners of Dove Mountain real estate are surrounded by thousands of giant saguaro which dominate nearly one-third of Dove Mountain’s 6,200 acres of natural open space, as well as the local flora and fauna which have been carefully preserved and sustained to flawlessly flow into the neighborhood’s landscape.
More than 10 miles of Dove Mountain’s boundary are adjacent to either formal preserves or Arizona State Trust-owned mountains. Tortolita Mountain Park borders Dove Mountain to the northeast offering 3,000 undisturbed acres for hiking, camping and horseback riding; and the 2,400-acre Tortolita Preserve frames Dove Mountain to the south ensuring even more Sonoran Desert wonder and beauty for the generations that will follow.
Beyond the enchantment of the natural environment, Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain homeowners are also stirred and stimulated by the world-class amenities at their disposal. Consider the daily options available: the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus designed Signature Golf Course/Golf Club; the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain hotel and spa; the sparkling pool; the fine dining, casual lounges and poolside cafes; the four tennis courts; 25 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails through stunning mountains and canyons; and the fine shopping at Dove Mountain Town Centre.
