Designed by an Italian architect and reputedly featured in Sunset Magazine, the original owners designed the property to house their pets, Wild Cats! Rumored to be a lion and/or tiger! Neighbors, real estate agents, and previous owners have added to the story . . . In the spirit of the history of the property we do have many animals on the property. Amongst the mesquite and palo verde trees, the saguaro, ocotillo, and other cacti, you may spot quail, cardinals, roadrunners, javelinas, coyotes, and a family of bobcats!
